MachoFantastico Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I think most clubs pay large transfer fees over instalments, I doubt even the likes of City would give Villa the full £100 million in one day. That said people saying that Villa were spending Jack's fee on the likes of Bailey need to remember that Villa aren't exactly struggling financially and would have been able to afford him whether Jack stayed or went.

They wanted to pay over 5 years or something and we wanted the full upfront to meet the clause? I honestly can't remember that, but you may well be right.

Didn't they also say that Friday? In fact didn't they say the deal was done before the Euros started? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely band on, they are a major culprit of every thing thats going to shite with this game. They need action from Jack today as the Kane is a bit quite this morning, scumbags.

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 5 minutes ago, Aston_Villan4 said: This. The structure of the deal could take forever to settle on. For example, Man City may be trying to argue for FFP reasons they want to pay it out over 5 years and Villa are refusing to accept that. Bang on. We are deliberately being as difficult as possible and demanding it all upfront at once--effectively making it feel more than £100m, if that makes sense? Transfers these days are structured over a number of years, with multiple clauses based on appearances etc. rarely are they ever paid all upfront, let alone one at the value of £100m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrchnry Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If he isn't at training could he be at Villa Park or would it be BMH? I'm off today and could go get my new top printed as the club shop seem to have E's now. What's Jack's car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats been the story for 4 days. No one knows anything, and I think its undecided. But £100m seems to be the figure that we a) have a release clause, or b) gentlemans agrrement with Jack and his management. I think the personal terms are agreed with Man City so its whether Jack wants the move is what I think is being debated, or the details of the new deal to stay. Personally I dont think Jack will leave. If he wanted Champions League he would have left by now. I think he wants or is prepared to stay and his team are screwing it for every penny.

thunderball Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 This is going to be the transfer saga that ends all transfer sagas's. I do feel the press are using this whole circus for clickbait, and the Agents are exploiting it, and may be even Villa are leaving City in the lurch because it demonstrates they have the power to do so?
