Surely some people aren't betting £200+ on a hunch. They must know something. I don’t think it even would. I reckon as soon as a large amount is staked or attempted they would close the book.

It’s because he is free to leave and not part of Bielsa’s plan. I bet he has one year left on his comtract too. They have to sell some players. Alternative would probably be losing him on a free.

If they have dropped it to 8/1 on that tells me they have heard news Butland is going elsewhere. ...so they drop the price on Villa. Some poor sap thinks "that must be a sure thing best get on that whilst I can" and then lumps a load of dough on a rubbish bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 So if we have had bid 12m for Webster and want mings we are looking at two cbs. I'd say we have budgeted 30m for two cbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is a fair point, their ages would factor in. Look at it this way, last summer Bristol City were happy to let Joe Bryan leave for £6m. We know they were happy because of their celebratory tweet when Bryan completed his move to Fulham. Fast forward less than 12 months later and their centre half is now valued at £30m. Now I don’t know if this fella is any good, I don’t watch Bristol City play. But I’m wondering whether his stock is indeed 5 times as much as Bryan’s was last year.

useless Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) £11.5m is a lot of money for Jack Clarke, he's only made around twenty league appearances, the talk of £20m for him has always been ridiculous. He's a promising player, but not some wonder kid. Edited June 26, 2019 by useless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think it's fair to say that Villa won't be unveiling any new signings tonight, unless it's a new tea lady. Therefore, I'm off to watch a player that we have been linked to - Marvellous Nakamba - playing against Uganda on Eurosport at 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May still be true though. either way it's still a bargain compared to all the other prices being banded about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they lose again that would be them most likely out the tournament, so perhaps he's realised his club career is more important than risking injury in a hopeless endeavour... not sure I'd like that mentality in our CDM, so maybe he just got a knock in training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Can't imagine any player being allowed to leave mid tournament on game day to fly from Egypt to Birmingham to have a little transfer chat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they're not up to speed with the team selection. According to the commentary he was the most accurate passer in the first game against the pre-tournament favourites Egypt.
