    Gerrard left them mid season and Rangers were 4 points clear, its not like the change was made during the summer and each team had a transfer window and preseason. During this season, Rangers results have got worse since Gerrard left. Yes, Celtic have got better but that doesn't excuse Rangers drawing with Ross County and Aberdeen. That is down to how the manger has the team playing

    Rangers have managed to turn a 4 point advantage over Celtic into a 4 point deficit since Gerrard left them

    If Archer continues his form at PNE for the remainder of the season it will be difficult to see him not getting a go at the 1st 11 at Villa. As regards Davis, I think his ship has sailed with regard to Villa. He may make it as a midtable striker but not as a striker for where Villa is heading. Best outcome for us is that Davis continues to do well at Forest and they win promotion, they would be kind of forced to buy him for a premium like we were with Mings

    I think we have eased the qualification criteria as a result of going backwards under MON. If u have a relative that has tasted Guinness in a pub you are eligible now
  5. Peter Griffin
    That is simply not true. If the player has a say then there is no option.

    None of us know what is in the contract and yes it could be anything. However, looking at precedence from other football contracts and it is reasonable to hypothesise that Villa can sign Coutinho if we wish too. Suggesting that Coutinho is not contractually bound to become a Villa player if we exercise the clause is far less likely based on footballing contract precedence.
  7. Peter Griffin
    And as per normal this is negotiated and agreed at the initial signing of the contract. It is the same as when a club has an option to extend a player's contract by 1 year. The vast majority of times the player does not want this option exercised as they could demand more money from a transfer with a lower contract term and the player has no say but to accept the extended contract
  8. Peter Griffin
    I agree, and that is why Aston Villa is attributed with the option and not Barca or Coutinho. They do not have the option
  9. Peter Griffin
    I understand the difference between option and obligation. With Coutinho we have the option. If someone gets a new car on PCP they have the option to a) return the car after 3 years and walk away or b) pay the balance outstanding and keep the car. The car dealer that sold the car has no ability to force the buyer to take a particular option. It is 100% the buyers choice.

    We won't see the contract but we do know that Coutinho has signed a contract with Villa and that contract has a clause in it that allows Villa the option to buy Coutinho for 33m. We can interpret that all we like but in football that normally means that the buying club has the right to exercise the clause if they see fit to.
  11. Peter Griffin
    Where do u get that from? That is not what an option to buy is
  12. Peter Griffin
    Exactly
  13. Peter Griffin
    He has signed a loan contract with an option for Villa to make it permanent
  14. Peter Griffin
    That is when the club that owns the player's contract has more negotiating power. The obligation to buy favours the selling club. Barca were desperate to get Coutinho off their books and didn't have the negotiating power
  15. Peter Griffin
    We obviously can't see the contract but in football it is similar to the way a club has an option to extend a players contract by a further year. The player does not have the ability to refuse the extension
  16. Peter Griffin
    That's not how an option works in footballing contracts, otherwise they are fairly worthless.
  17. Peter Griffin
    Source? Edit: What does the 'option to buy' mean in his contract that Villa has?
  18. Peter Griffin
    PaddyPower will be adding him to the Grealish and Declan Rice ad no doubt

    I switched to Utd v Boro. Utd played very well, RR is starting to have an impact

    The whistles were the protest, the masks were just to make them look smart while protesting
  21. Peter Griffin
    The Baggies manager is at the top of the queue hence the delay
  22. Peter Griffin
    Does that not suggest there is a proper Blues now
  23. Peter Griffin
    Is the place closed as it is falling apart or do the fans not bother attending games?
  24. Peter Griffin
    I am sure if we go off topic it will be noticed quickly. Baggies got a Brucie bonus with Alex coming in as a coach too
  25. Peter Griffin
    Completely, I don't blame Ramsey, if someone offered me 400k a week I think I would be persuaded to even play for the Blues
