Beastmix Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There will surely be a loan extension option if he stays fit. Especially with the World Cup coming up (and the obvious fact that he'll want to stay at the best club in the world). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is with the option to buy it's all pre set. The fee paid, how much of the fee goes to Barca and how much they give to Coutinho in lieu of lost wages. Also the wages Coutinho will be on at Villa and the length of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have checked our sources for the 80th time it is correct Coutinho is signing for little Aston Villa and not Premier League giants Newcastle or West Ham.

But depends on what the money is I guess. How much of his salary are we picking up, is it and option to buy or a compulsory buy and what is the fee if so? Anyone seen any figures? 6 months loan with us picking up a high % of his salary feels kinda pointless. Helps Barcelona more than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wow, it's actually happening. Probably the highest profile signing we've made in my lifetime. Now Gerrard needs to get him back to his best. Great ambition from the club. Zakaria and Digne/Tagliafico/Hickey next through the door and I wouldn't rule us out of ,making a late push for Europe.

Not that I particularly want El Ghazi to move. Taking on a salary like he has now in the longer term would be a bigger gamble / need a lot more thought.

Hard to say… I’d rather give the kids a chance in some ways but if Gerrard feels (for example) that Buendia and Bailey will be class long term but need this season to work through settling in/injuries, then a short-term high-profile deal might make sense. No idea if that is the plan of course. But I’ll trust the chap who played with him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
