But the way the club welcomed him back, tells me Cam doesn’t expect to be sticking around either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be in the same frame of mind, but that would imply the social media team knows what Emery wants with him. I’m not sure they are completely privy to that information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try, but we've purchased him almost like any other transfer in who has a book value greater than zero now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmac Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Anyone know what buy back fee was for him? we surely aren’t paying exact same as what we sold him for? Read 7m on some random post but that surely too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read 7m on some random post but that surely too low. It seems to be £14m as far as i can tell from various media reports. We sold him for £9m and bought him back for £14m. But there are some places saying we bought him back for the same price we sold him for - £9m. Edited July 12 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield United would’ve been one of the favourites for relegation when we sold him. If we signed up to that deal it must’ve been a short term fix for PSR last summer??

Cmac Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Archer had a few suitors last summer so surely wasnt a case of take what we can and agree, can’t imagine we sold him then to a team destined for relegation with agreement we would take him back for same/higher price if it happened. The 7m figure mentioned seems more realistic option but doubt we will ever really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was more of a loan without losing fees on the purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought him back for £7m as they got relegated, effectively a £2m loan fee but with greater PSR benefits last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Backing him to score at least 2 tonight, and if he stays on for the second half a hattrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 His play reflected his status right now - uncertain and nervy. Didn't do himself any favours, though. I don't think he's long for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Seems to me that he is in that niche currently where he is a very good championship striker who will get you a good amount of goals, especially in a promotion chasing club. But, he had shown nothing that makes me think he is a PL level striker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to do something against Spartak Trnava or he's going to end up getting sold back to the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 He’s a weird one. We all loved him and were sad to see him go and in the space of a year his stock had dropped so much. It’s sad as everyone loved a home grown lad, and the name and celebration alone deserve excellence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) I think a poor season with one of the worse squads in premier league history isn’t a good indicator of how bad Archer is. Neither is how the social media team announced his return. his preseason under Emery will be the deciding factor if he’s good enough for Villa Edited July 19 by CarryOnVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't started well, but there's defintely a very good striker in there. I've majorly lowered my expectations for what he can achieve with us but I'd be delighted to be wrong. Maybe he's not one that works with our style of play, but he's comfortably a reliable 1 in 2 striker in the championship, and maybe a bit more if he can continue to develop rather than wasting another year on the bench.
