Watkins is Villa's best player right now, which is why I compared him to Bruno, who is our best, but if that is too far fetched then let's say Joelinton rather than Willock. Would we accept a £100 million bid from Villa specifically, bearing in mind we have money already and they are direct competitors at the minute? I don't think we would. It's about the optics of either club selling a major asset to the other specifically, bearing in mind the money we both have and the similar ambitions. Think they would avoid it at all costs.

Honestly speaking, I would rather have either of those two over Watkins. Even without the goals they bring more box to box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 £100 million is two Bruno's or another Isak. Let's be realistic here. Sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely would accept that for Joelinton, you are mad if you think otherwise Even though the owners have money the club isn't in that position yet where we can turn down that amount of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the potential to increase FFP revenue by selling isak or bruno for 100m to any team. Rival or not is a nailed on certainty. If we offered city 100m for haaland. He would be a Geordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the FFP improvement thing is a circular argument. You sell those players for those profits and boost your FFP figures, but then you only have to go out and spend that same money again to replace them because everyone's seen what those two went for.

Jaqen Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It doesn't how rich a clubs owners are unless you are in champions league regularly and/or have massive sponsors backing you FFP will always limit you. 100m sale is massive for clubs as that gets put on the sheets as one lump sum where as signing players is spread out over their contracts. So it allows them to spend way more than that £100m in the same window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Let's go for an old school "players from (potential) relegated clubs" post, I won't include Wolves, as i just don't see it: Palace: Eze, Andersen. Forest: Johnson, Gibbs-White Everton: DCL (at a cut rate), Onana Leicester: Barnes, Maddison West Ham: Rice (unlikely), Paqueta (aye go on then), Zouma/Aguerd, Bowen Bournemouth: Solanke (would be a solid option), IDK any of their players Leeds: Gnonto Southampton: Lavia, Salisu, JWP.

The Butcher Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Olise, Guehi, Billing, Iheanacho, that young winger Soton signed from City, KWP, the yank DMs at Leeds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Tyler Adams from Leeds could be a decent pick up I think. If Livramento wasn't crocked he could have been good from Southampton but maybe a risk following his injury I thought that Outtara lad was a right handful for Bournemouth against Liverpool. One to keep an eye on Salisu always looks like a disaster waiting to happen whenever I watch him but people on here seem to rate him highly so I might be just watching the wrong games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
