Personally, I think it's going to happen and if it does I'll be one happy Villa fan because that trio in midfield will be awesome.

If Marseille ask for a crazy price ala £40m we won't pay it and we'll wait until summer or move for an alternative target. This happened with Bissouma last Jan for example. The selling club need to want to make a deal at a realistic price for it to happen I don’t know anything about club finances or our FFP situation so maybe those are points to consider? But on the face it, £40m for an experienced, highly regarded 23yr old French international doesn’t sound particularly crazy to me in the current climate.

He obviously works for a credible agency… I assume you aren’t being serious when he references his own Head Quarters and the apparent people work for him?

I think £30m is most give or take a few add ons. The club won't overpay for players relative to how much we deem their value. Also there could be a "January Tax" added to his price over what he would be sold for in Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say I watch French football so I’m happy to bow to the knowledge of those that do. I guess my thought process was simply that these days the ability to walk in a straight lines makes players worth about £20m in the PL, so £40m just doesn’t really sound excessive for someone of his age/experience.

RicRic Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) 23 hours ago, CVByrne said: Buendia cost £33m with 5m add-ons (I imagine none of them have triggered other than maybe appearances) and a 10% sell on clause. I think paying £35-40 for Guendouzi is too much. Transfermarkt have him valued at €25m Look of its £35m its 35m hes a top midfielder and these are the prices you have to pay, we haven’t spend much so this wouldn’t be catastrophic by any means, buendia was £38m so we need to look at it as a reasonable fee plus he basically completes our midfield.

Delphinho123 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) This could (almost certainly is) be absolute nonsense... Translates as..Aston Villa, who still wants to recruit Guendouzi, would be ready to include one of their players in addition to a sum of money! Not sure which player they'd want as part of a swap..!?
