Aston_Villan4 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I wouldn’t mind this signing at all. Sure it would be nice shooting higher than Tarkowski but if a good deal presents itself he’s a clear upgrade to go alongside Mings. And with Kamara in front of them and a fully healthy Martinez behind. On paper it looks very exciting. Even if he has made more errors leading to goals compared to Mings this year.

AndyM3000 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 He's been at Burnley for 6 years for a reason. A fine back up on a free but I think we should be aiming higher and he likely wants to be a first team player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 He’s always injured, for the reported wages I’d give him a miss he isn’t even that good anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 2 hours ago, zak said: Not specifically directed at you but i find it strange that people think getting a player on a free is that much better than on a transfer. The Agent of that player will know what his player is roughly worth and charge that in a signing on bonus because that's what teams would be willing to pay to get that player. Appreciate that, and this is only theoretical. TransferMarkt.com has his current value at £20m. We can argue, but they are an independent source, so it isn't all BS. As a salary, that's about £80k a week over 5 years, before adding agents fees etc. Sportrac.com list his current salary at £2.6m a year - so about £50k a week. Again, they may not be right, but it sounds about right to me I think anything up to around £80k a week (all in, including bonuses) is OK for me - we'd still a lot better off over 5 years (about £13m) than buying him at those figures. I don't think we'd pay him much more than that - and we shouldn't. I also don't buy the random figures punted out by the media. I agree it's not 'free' as the player takes extra (and agent), but it's rarely the Mbappe scenario where he basically takes the transfer fee for himself.

Tarkowski is therefore Contactless, which isn't what you want from a defender. I'm out. *factual inaccuracies aside Edited May 24, 2022 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be at least 20m to buy if he was under contract so an absolute no brainer to pay him that purely from a financial perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s okay, people can pretend to pick him up by his ears and make the old “this is the closet Villa will get to the FA Cup” joke. Should be worth the fee for that tbf.
