Popular Post The_Steve Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 The negativity in here is unbearable. It’s beyond even critiquing. Just negativity for negativity sake from some. Maybe let the manager pick the players he thinks will be suitable - and if not - give the warranted critiques. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football in general. Betting. Where people actually back up their opinions with real hard money. Then come back to me and ask if I am a Villa fan. I couldn't give a flying f*** what you post on twatter tbh or your gambling addiction, your post was utter shit just like the one above.

Mark Albrighton Posted June 11 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11 8 minutes ago, striker said: If he does leave then that should say all you need to know. What, that Villa would have him valued at around £60m (with just two years left on his contract) and that a club like Juventus are the ones willing to meet that valuation? Yeah that really backs up your assertion that he’s not particularly up to it. Solid reasoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 25 minutes ago, david-avfc said: His value might be at his peak, but the reported terms are nowhere near his peak value. McKennie is reportedly valued around €20m, Iling around €15m so plus €20m its around £46-47m... for a player worth at least £60m and probably much more if we weren't forced sellers. For comparison Liverpool sold Coutinho for £140m including add ons, still the 3rd most expensive transfer of all time... Barca panicked and paid twice his value because they lost Neymar against their will and were expecting Xavi and Iniesta to retire soon, it was an absurd and an a deal impossible to reject for Liverpool. £45m for Luiz is also an absurd fee but unfortunately for the opposite reasons, the comparison unfortunately is just not there. I'm fairly certain Luiz is valued at €60m+ and that's what Juve will be paying for him in this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote His turnaround at Juve last season was so impressive that Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport ranked him as the club's best player of the season so far at the start of the year.

Selling a guy who is a key player and has been a key player in our journey over the last couple of years, for less than what the majority of us think he is worth, to a club that seemingly can't afford him so are horse dealing with 2 players 1 of which the majority of us don't rate, all so that we can tick a box for the stupid **** rules in football that mean our billionaires can't spend their own money I'm negative about this...struggling to see what's to like about it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Where have I ever said that look at my posts i am as hacked off with these bullshit rules causing this to happen as anyone, while the sky 6 spend without recourse. The massive bed wetting by some and over reacting to this deal is what's annoyed me. The club will have known this was coming. Of all the available options to sell Luiz this is the one that's been taken. That can only mean Emery wants these 2 players. I see people bitching and whining ans writing off these 2 players before they have even signed based on **** all evidence to do so. How about move on from Luiz and look forward positively to what Emery can get out of these 2 and Barkley It's **** embarrassing on here. Bunch of children.

Popular Post Keyblade Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 This is just so sad. Even taking my admiration for the player and person out of the equation, the fact that we need to do this to comply with financial rules despite qualifying for the CL sucks. Man United can finish 8th every year for the next decade and never have to do this. We're competing with a severe handicap. It's crap. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
