Made In Aston Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 2 minutes ago, sidcow said: Looks like he's been playing quite regularly in Saudi. Maybe we will get an offer if anyone wants a big name. His book value is about £8m now and you can subtract whatever loan fee we got from that. With a bit of luck and a fair wind we might even get a FFP profit and his wages off the books. Qatar or MLS? Another year in Saudi won't harm us either. He is on loan to a club in Qatar...not Saudi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you start to think, is it just two leagues? Or is it one for each day of the week? Slight Craig David vibes (though to give him his due, David was at least monogamous within the period of a week, and did take Sunday off). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Yep four deal was a bit ridiculous, Digne got the same aswell I think? Did he have that long left at Barca as very generous to give him that given his age and the declining performances while he was on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 11 hours ago, Made In Aston said: It sounds worse than it is. Wages have been covered for this season and next by the Qatar club. We just have to sell him after that or loan him out again for the remaining 12 months. Where was this reported? I can only see that it was a season-long loan deal.

I've just had a good look around and can't find any article mentioning an option for another year/2 year loan deal. I'm going to assume he will be back with us in the summer and we will try and offload him to MLS (Inter Miami) or Saudi Arabia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don't know if the second year is an 'option' for the Qatari club to choose to activate. Nowhere was it reported as a fixed 2 year loan deal.

Zatman Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Coutinho like Gerrard managed to trick people weekly that he was about to turn the corner and threads after his cameos were crazy. He was finished when he signed and he was the outfield version of Olsen but had a bizarre amount of credit in the bank One of the worst signings we ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen was a much better option in attacking midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
