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

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.

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.

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

Does he play right wing? Could see this being an Ange type move given his Asian scouting networks.

[The College Dropout]

What’s he meant to be good at?

Tottenham would be my guess

For what it's worth we were linked a fair bit with him when he was at Mallorca along with Villa I think it was at the time.

 

Before PSG came steaming in, only to then keep him on the bench ever since, as they also did with Soler from Valencia.

 

Would fit what we're after on the right. Be surprised if we'd bid that much for him, or that anyone has at all, considering PSG have completely mismanaged him since he joined.

 

Was highly rated when he was in Spain though.

[gbandit]

Have Spurs had any transfer activity in either direction yet? Feel like only Man U and Chelsea have had activity so far from the richest clubs

Archie Gray from Leeds and Lucas Bergvall from Djurgarden. Sent Joe Rodon out to Leeds as part of the Gray deal. 

[gbandit]

Forgot about Gray, missed Bergvall. The Gray signing is a big one actually
