AV82 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 He's a big **** and very physical which will help him tremendously as he adapts to the Premier League. I'm optimistic he'll come good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doing the rounds on reddit and social media. Regardless it adds a bit of context and he isn't some £2m youngster we're throwing unto the U21s. The currency is kind of important though! The reported fee of $18m is then lazily posted as £18m on social media. The £10m in add-ons appears to be totally made up in comparison to the reported £3.3m. Once again, the way that performance bonuses are typically structured, if he ends up costing Villa the full £14.75m plus £3.3m, he'll have been a wise signing. I suspect if the fee was 26m Australian dollars, much of social media would still report it as £26m instead of £14.75m. I'm still puzzled why anyone puts any trust behind so called facts seen on social media. I definitely agree that this isn't your typical 'take a punt' on an unknown player for a couple of million quid though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Know absolute bobbins about him. Just glad the players we are being linked to or trying to sign are the ones Purslow talked him and got our buy in for 2 or 3 years ago. Not 'real men' and 'proper lads' 'look you in the eye types who've been there and done it.' I'm excited for the signing and what he symbolises.

Reivax_Villa Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Good signing but I think this is a signing for the future. He will play and grow with us over period of time. He is extremely raw and needs work. I have read some quotes from Chicago fire fans and erm.. yh lol not great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I trust Unai, Lange and our entire scouting team over some bitter fans losing a big talent. Give him a chance. The club isn’t investing in him if they don’t think they have a talent on their hands. Under £15m in the current climate is a low risk deal.
