Coutinho, Martinez, Buendia, Gerrard etc

In fairness to Bentancur he is in South American with the national team and is part of their starting 11. He will be focused on those games and keeping his head down. I wouldn't yet judge the lack of comment from him as a lack of enthusiasm to join The Mighty Villa. When he Googles 'Birmingham' he will be thinking 'Wow, I can leave Italy and go there', the lad will probably offer to take a pay cut to join us.

Adama chose Barca, Luis chose Liverpool and Bentancur will choose Villa. F**k you Levy!! Apologies for the bias I have against Levy
-
I am not sure that is the case. Media is already reporting that they are looking for a replacement for Bentancur, so they would spend the money we give them and still have the same headcount. It could help the from a profitability perspective but the cost of replacement may cost them more each year as Bentancur only cost them 14m so his amortisation cost will be less than 2m a yr as his contract is until 2024

I suppose there is nothing wrong with a test drive first. A bit like having girlfriends before settling down with the Mrs

Why would a loan be more logical?

Kids who work their bollocks off are easy to find. It is how effective they are when doing so is the important bit.

The team needs to constantly evolve to get us into Europe. We upgraded Targett to Digne, this type of transfer needs to be continuous at Villa. Every window we need to upgrade our players and push the team forward. To move forward we need money and FFP compliance. It would be a ridiculously poor decision to not accept 40m for Cash in the summer.
-
Not enough time for that but it would be nice
-
There are doctors in South America too
-
He would be a great buy, but he would be about 4X the price. FFP is something real and we need to take it into account
-
14m + 2m addons is what I believe it was reported as

I know there is more to it than Cash, that is why I said if it improves the team and is good for the financials. That said, the discussion is about selling Cash in the summer to AM and. not in this window.
-
If a club comes in for any of our players we should assess if the recruitment team can improve our team and financials by accepting the bid. If the answer is yes then we should accept the bid regardless who the player is

I was trying to think of something smart to reply to your comment but I think it holds its own and doesn't need any commentary
-
I was thinking it was 3 or 4 years ago, I didn't check it. But only two. OMG, we have come a long way
-
Hard to believe that was only a few years ago too
-
About 5m less than McCormack & Hogan combined
-
But just think what it would be like if he turns out to be the best DCM in the PL and it looks like we got a bargain for 25m
-
The valuations are worse BS than the story by The Sun. I wouldn't mind Lamptey for 16m
-
Better than Coutinho?
-
BS but if they come in with 40m+ in the summer then tank you very much and I am sure we can find a suitable replacement
-
Also, we were on a 5 game losing streak, so we weren't exactly playing well
-
Both teams need to agree to the new date. Maybe Leeds do not want to play it due to injuries or maybe we do not want to play it until Trez is back from Afcom?
-
Then Bentancur must be a definite, he can play 4, 6 and 8
