janpawel Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Isn't Moreno also one of their better plays too? Maybe Left back for Villa is like Left wing for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Wonder where that leaves Digne and Moreno.....or Maatsen for that matter. Haven't seen Villa enough to tell, but in my head there's very little between the three of them besides that Digne and Moreno both has passed 30.

Matt1892 Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Worth remembering that last summer Chelsea fans rated Lewis Hall higher than Maatsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 That’s some money. What £40m+, considering we got Hall for less than £30m. Looks a handy player, but I’m skeptical on him defensively in premier league, feels far too much a winger than a LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 36 minutes ago, NSG said: If they sign him this week it wouldn’t really affect whether they need to sell or not this year. Pretty much none of this cost would hit the current financial year. Its entirely possible that they still have to sell before 30th June. (likely to be Duran). The contract will be valid from 1st July, so next financial year. But this is clearly going to be involving a degree of selling someone to Chelsea, as you said, Duran probably. Strange move, though. Firstly, Digne was excellent last season. I suspect he's had another big Saudi offer, though. Secondly, Moreno is more than decent, but struggled with injuries last year. Thirdly, the deal for Luiz to go to Juventus is supposed to include Illing-Junior coming here, and he is a left back (isn't he?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Iling Junior is a winger who has played wing back in a 5 man midfield. Definitely wouldn't say he's a left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of your sale goes into this year’s accounts and your purchase is split over the length of the contract. It absolutely would work as fiddle.

If both teams need a bit extra to pass this year’s ffp they can bump the price on both sides. Not saying it is happening but it’s completely feasible.

I don't think he's better than Hall. Although Digne can be a bit inconsistent and Moreno has had injuries, so it's still probably a sensible buy.

One had a few good run of games at the of the season, the other was a regular starter for a CL final side. Maatsen will be a very good signing for Villa and is really young so lots of room for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what Barcelona & Juventus did with Arthur & Pjanic but in that instance they heavily inflated the fees involved, clever accounting but also stinks!
