Sibierski Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Duran to come to us on loan in summer? If we can’t spend due to FFP, can’t manipulate sponsors, let’s just do the loan thing which the clubs tried to block and failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) £65m for Duran and what, £40m to reach the CL last 16? That's an extremely profitable season so far for Villa. Can't be sure if the Duran sale is good or bad in terms of us trying to compete with them for 3rd-5th in the years ahead.

Expand Shouldn't we (ie you, us) be thinking about competing for 1st rather than 3-5th? I know, I know, I know the answer, but it makes me feel sick admitting it.

Those would still take priority, imo. Boniface made more sense as he'd regressed somewhat this year, has two serious injuries, was being pushed by Schick at his club. Grabbing the money maybe the move for him. Arsenal would have to break the British transfer record by a significant amount to sign Isak right now. This will not happen. Expand Duran going to Saudi just proves that we are absolutely doing the right thing selling him. Great, great talent, bad agent, bad attitude, clearly saps the energy of the squad, fuck him, that's an impressive return on our investment. There's no way we could have built anything around him, every single window his agent would be in his ear drumming up some sort of money-spinning move for him. Emery is right not to want to put up with that shit, so it's a good move from us. Also, not selling him to a rival, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Also, I could not give one tenth of one shit for sectarian politics, especially not in football, and also don't care if 'Lizzie is in a box' or anywhere as I am a republican, but really, coming to Birmingham, of all fucking places, singing songs about the IRA, parading down New Street (past both the pubs involved) dressed like paramilitaries, all that is only going to have one outcome. What a bunch of absolute fucking wankers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Getting over £65m for your number two striker who seems to be a massive dickhead. All that money for Diaby as well. Man, I'm just a bit jealous of Villa and their Saudi connections, I wish we had some. They could go on a mad spree if they wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Who needs Saudi connections when Darren Eales can ask an old flame for a favour. Incredible deal for Villa. I don't think they've got the squad to get CL again this season but they seem pretty well set up in the short term. Spunking a lot of their new cash on Disasi and Felix would give me some comfort at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Villa in champions league last 16, pushing for champions league place for next year have to sell one of their two stickers and Villa fans accepting that it makes sense. Shows how fucked ip the entire situation is. Last time we did something like this Shearer got injured soon after. Watkins will now likely play more minutes putting him more at risk of injury.

Expand Yeah might be a good deal financially, but if they’re unable to replace him risks de-railing their season if Watkins gets injured. The fact they also had to sell Luiz in the summer to comply, just shows how the current system is rigged and anti-competitive.
