Mark Albrighton Posted July 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2023 £35m all in is much cheaper than the talk of it potentially costing over £50m (€60m). I expect a reasonable amount of disparity in these things, but that’s a bigger difference than I was anticipating. Good stuff (provided it’s correct and Diaby turns out to be a good signing, obvs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 After all the fuss and noise… crazy that he won’t actually be our record signing. Same situation with Pau. Good work Monchi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted July 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2023 Ooooooh yeah! This window just got real(er). This is an excellent signing, We are going to absolutely muller some teams next year. ITSOTP, but assuming it's done....Big Welcome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I imagine there's a whole lot of add-ons involved in this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 £35m?!?! ok that eases some concerns. I was thinking we was getting mugged at £50m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddy Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Captain_Townsend said: You know what this transfer window of 2023 has taught me? We did not get good value for money two years ago in 2021. Buendia still being our record signing just underlines it. This has definitely been on my mind lately. How we got so little return for the Grealish money is baffling and a little disheartening, but it seems our new regime understands the value of driving a hard bargain and staying within a sensible range of what we're willing to pay for. It can't be overstated what a coup it is to land our 3 acquisitions for 65-70m. Edited July 20, 2023 by Caddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) That's just brilliant news. Another player that wants to be a part of UE's project and who wants to become an international regular through his performances at Villa. Welcome Moussa!

I get the sense that he doesn’t have all that new information but presents it as such because of his platform. He drops breadcrumbs to create drama or clicks when he’s not that informed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Romano said days ago that Diaby had green lighted and agreed to join, so how can he now just say yes?! Edited July 20, 2023 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) So £67.6m for Torres, Tielemans and Diaby. God I love our manager and his staff. They are playing 4D chess in this transfer market. Edited July 20, 2023 by stewiek2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably earns upwards of 20k a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haverz and Bailey played, Can't remember either doing much (alcohol may not have helped) Diaby was an unused sub (obviously pretty young though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) So less than the jawdees paid for Barnes. Erm... Edited July 20, 2023 by stewiek2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
