Maybe a bit low but less than 2 years left on his contract, 31 in December. His transfer value will start to decline rapidly after this window.Not even close to what Villa would consider derisory.
Yes that was last two seasons!They are nowhere close to £221m spent
£152m according to Transfermarkt
Seeing they've signed two from Fulham..looked at the Fulham squad..it looks very lightIpswich are up to £221m spent now and 18 transfers. Can't even fit them all into the screenshot.
Giles out![]()
Was thinking the same. Light and old. Hoping to see them struggle this seasonSeeing they've signed two from Fulham..looked at the Fulham squad..it looks very light
Although Brighton originally wanted £100mBeing reported that Carlos Baleba to Manure for £65M, makes the Sangare deal look a steal.
Maybe last seasons performances impacted the selling price?Although Brighton originally wanted £100m
Emi Martinez probably leaving as well, they just signed Suzuki (Japan GK from the World Cup)Villa are going to struggle to make top half imo.
Rogers, Tielemans and Konsa now all gone. Watkins may not be far behind.
They were very average in all 3 games against us last year and are now much weaker. They may have money to spend, but have only 2 weeks left. Emery might do a Howe and become frustrated he can't build on their recent success. If Watkins also goes, it won't do much for team morale either.
Shame!
They always do these last minute sales for financial purposes but they've still spent nearly £100m this windowVilla are going to struggle to make top half imo.

They've also had time to have a good look at their new players which will have helped their decisions around players leaving.They always do these last minute sales for financial purposes but they've still spent nearly £100m this window
If it is to be Saudi for Ollie, then they have an extra week for their window to shut.They were very average in all 3 games against us last year and are now much weaker.

Indeed. Keeping a player for another season doesn’t always work out.Maybe last seasons performances impacted the selling price?

My Man City mate is alarmed that they already don't have enough players and that's before they've shipped out Savinho, Marmoush, Ait Nouri and Cherki (who he rates). I think they'll struggle to find takers for Grealish (injuries) and Foden (wages and form). If Doku, Haarland and Semenyo don't deliver, they look pretty ordinary. Maresca may get them playing well, but there's no guarantee.Does anyone else think Maresca’s replicating his Chelski fiasco? In addition to this double move, Cherki is definitely on his way abroad, and Ait Nourri supposedly wants away too. As soon as the window closes, he’ll announce a ‘bomb squad’.
The players remaining had better get him off to a good start….
Hasn’t taken long to dismantle Pep’s squad! Forgot Gonzalez, Reijnders and Trafford have left, and Silva, Stones and Ake is a lot of experience gone.My Man City mate is alarmed that they already don't have enough players and that's before they've shipped out Savinho, Marmoush, Ait Nouri and Cherki (who he rates).

Definitely.Well overpriced. Spurs have been well turned over this summer imho
Beyond the player loses, Austin McPhee moving to Chelsea I would suggest will have a big impact. Unfortunately I feel it will make Chelsea much better!Villa are going to struggle to make top half imo.

Lots of talk around a deal to "over pay" on Savinho, to get a "discount" on Marmoush so City can avoid paying Frankfurt their sell-on feeWell overpriced. Spurs have been well turned over this summer imho
If true, lawyers rubbing their hands and preparing "fair market value" arguments.Lots of talk around a deal to "over pay" on Savinho, to get a "discount" on Marmoush so City can avoid paying Frankfurt their sell-on fee

Marmoush is a good player imo and that would be a decent signing. Have city got anyone leftLots of talk around a deal to "over pay" on Savinho, to get a "discount" on Marmoush so City can avoid paying Frankfurt their sell-on fee
They just churn don’t they, one out, two in, ad finitum, spending more money.Marmoush is a good player imo and that would be a decent signing. Have city got anyone left
Seems to be a lot of opportunism in their approach to transfersThey just churn don’t they, one out, two in, ad finitum, spending more money.
Very possibly.Well overpriced. Spurs have been well turned over this summer imho
Savinho is the king of 2020s wingers that get the ball then just pass backwards
You write just like @Ealingbee and his love for SpursVery possibly.
Then again, the previous regime's transfer policies were hardly successful, either (understatement!).
So long as these purchases don't bust the club financially, which they shouldn't, then the real test will be whether these new players improve the team, not whether they overpaid for them.
Are City that short of moolah that they need to engage in such chicanery? Add it to the 115?Lots of talk around a deal to "over pay" on Savinho, to get a "discount" on Marmoush so City can avoid paying Frankfurt their sell-on fee
Premier League TaxBeing reported that Carlos Baleba to Manure for £65M, makes the Sangare deal look a steal.
Baleba is a superb player that warranted the huge price tag. His performances went down the pan immediately after the United talk.Being reported that Carlos Baleba to Manure for £65M, makes the Sangare deal look a steal.
