Not great business from BD. Villa could have lost Chuk for a few hundred grand next summer and Purslow managed to get 20m. That looks like good management of our assets to me Ita called a release clause. Its why he joined Dortmund and he got them Champions League for 3 seasons so sensible business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Don’t really have any beef with him. Won’t wish him luck as he isn’t a Villa player and don’t want our future competitors strengthened. £20m is such good business considering the contract situation. I don’t think we’d get that for Douglas Luiz and he’s actually a first team player and would be more of a statement loss. Can’t really sugarcoat it too much as it’s bad to lose a great prospect but in the circumstances this probably ended in the best possible way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaslash Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Well done and professional approach by club. Great fee where there could be none. How often does a young player go to Chelsea and it improves their career? Say hello to the next England superstar Barkley- he can tell you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I am staggered, that we have done this business. I never thought we would get anything like the fee's being reported.....shows what I know. Congrats to the powers that be, for shrewd negotiation......whether he goes on to enhance his value or not.....a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. finish it off now and sign Gallagher.

Do u think by chance the BD CEO approved the insertion of a release clause in Haaland's contract? Yes CEOs may have to agree to a release clause to secure a contract, what is Purslow's history of inserting release clauses in contracts like? Oh yeah, we got 100m for Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegendOfLeonBailey31 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Was a huge fan, but the contract squabble really killed it for me... disappointed to not see him by into the project and be a part of it... but good riddance... absolutely thrilled we got 20mil for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On general would be a great move but Purslow said he was the best 18 year old in England I think Purslow should shut up if honest but also I think Carney wanted to stay his brother and his friends are here.

I’ve scored as many Premier League goals as Chuk. For once, we’re the team “doing a Brentford.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is If Carney wanted to stay it was simple- he could have signed a contract anytime in the last couple of months. If he wanted to be with his brother we could have had a Ramsey and Chukwuemeka brothers Australia video. It is what it is and the club did the very best with what it was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Don_Simon Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 The vitriol aimed at a player, an 18 year old player, for not signing a contract speaks volumes for those wishing him ill or insulting him. In addition, you understand people have broken contracts / threatened to strike to join Villa before (Benteke), or wound down contracts to then join Villa for free (Kamara). Its absurd. Have a **** word with yourself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Will Tuchel really throw him right into the deep end? I guess the 5 subs thing makes playing time a little easier to get...Will be very interesting indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 We’ve received a great fee, what on earth is there to be bitter about? I’m disappointed he’s gone because I’m certain he’s going to end up very good but we have a great set of young players still here who we all hope can make an impact. A lot of weird posts in here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
