Would be a really good move for him.

Yes, but not for West Ham.

Ikon, I recall you complaining anytime I mentioned how wrong people were about Gordon.

 

Yet, every time I post about a player you don't rate, similar to back then, you are very quick to go on about how shit they are.

 

Now, I don't mind it, but please don't start kicking off again once the season starts, if I remind you of some of these bold claims of yours.

 

Thanks!

Rumours we are about to get 65m for Diaby, who we paid £36m up front and £10m in future bonuses. If so, that's a decent bit of business.

Explain that one under FMV.

Well it’s a forum and if I don’t rate a player then surely I can say so one would think. There’s many  players we have been linked with that I rate that you’ve also liked so no I don’t think they are all shit. I don’t think DCL is absolutely shite and I’ve said so before. But he is unreliable and will struggle for fitness and form. I’ve even said before that I would take him but only for reasonable wages and fee, but it would have to be low money. I can see West Ham taking a too big of a risk and spend big money for him and his wages and I’d be very surprised to see him play most games and score 10-15 goals to make it worth it. He might do well for them and play tons but I find it very unlikely as said…

 

Also, even if some get it right/wrong there’s no need to relentless gloating. Just don’t see why people would do it, it’s just boring and tiresome. Yes it can be mentioned but sometimes it goes beyond that.

Not sure why Saudis would owe us any favours.

Doesn't have to be. It just has to be seen to be a legitimately fair value. Galatasaray owe us no favours but if they offered us 40mill for Callum Wilson the Premier league would be all over it.

If true then I'm very jealous of the FFP boost

 

 

[joeyt]

he's played for some ridiculously historic clubs

 

 

[ponsaelius]

Feels like a decent fee considering he's off the back of probably best goalscoring season of his career.

[gdm]

Milan love an ageing striker Zlatan, Giroud and now Morata

[ponsaelius]

This time it actually makes sense to go with an experienced head rather than an expensive investment if they genuinely think Camarda has what it takes in a couple of years.

Four year deal for a soon 32 year old is special.

Morata has had an amazing career

How you pay makes no difference to FFP. 

 

Monchi does seem more proactive in navigating FFP than Ashworth was. 

[toon25]

Morata is a brilliant signing to replace Giroud

Or someone's offering them a massive mark up on a player who was a bit meh last season? Like someone offering us 70mill for Barnes.

[McCormick]

Have an awful feeling that Villa will go in for Raphinha if Diaby does leave.

Yeh it’s a good deal.  Never said it wasn’t.  But how they paid for Diaby makes no difference - Brummie mentioned paying x upfront - that’s irrelevant to PSR

Don’t think Raphinha is the hot property people think he is.  
 

He’s a decent age.  But has 3 years left on his contract so will command at least €40m but likely closer to €50-60m which is unlikely to be recoupable in Europe in 2 years.  And wages probably close to €10m per year. 
 

He’ll PSR cost €20m this season minimum.  Thats a lot for a club like Villa. 
 

Leon Baileys good too.

I took it as his fee was including clauses if he is sold before the clause are met its more profit?

Yeah I know that re PSR and paying up front, I was more getting at the praise for Monchi in this instance 

[The College Dropout]

Raphinha is an Atleti x Juve type signing. 

[The College Dropout]

If that’s the case then fair enough. I reread it and you’re right.  
 

[Tsunami]

How can Villa double their money on a player who has largely failed?
