Steero113 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 1 minute ago, ender4 said: We sold Philogene for £5m and are buying him back for £13.5m a year later (matching £16m bid less 30% sell-on). Does that feel a little like Monchi didn't structure the sale very well? Either should have had a higher sale price or a better buyback clause? Of course i understand it's probably the best we could get at the time, but just seems a little rubbish from Villa's viewpoint. £8.5m is hardly expensive for someone who's improved as much as Jaden. In 12 months he'll be a £40m player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to bank the £ last financial year and then amortise out the return. It’s probably cost neutral from an accounting standpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 IF he's coming back, then it is because he is an excellent player, not sentimentality or obligation. I admire these deals for our younger players that protects the club and gives us first dibs, it's a win win for everyone involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Quote EXCLUSIVE | Jaden Philogene, who plays for Hull City, left the camp in Istanbul and went to England to undergo a medical check-up and sign an official contract with Aston Villa.

useless Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 What some don't seem to be hip to is that his profile is now way higher than it was last summer, he just had a pretty good loan at Cardiff, and did okay in pre-season, but there's a reason the best move he could get was to Hull in the Championship and he only cost them £5m, he wasn't the player then that he has become over the season just gone, if we buy him back for £13m, and bearing in mind Hull already gave us £5m, so will have only cost us £8m, then it will have worked out very well for us, as we will be getting a player that is worth much more than that and has now become very sought after, some might say that we should have just loaned him, but we wouldn't have got the PSR benefits, and we don't know if he would have developed at Hull in the same way, as clubs will be much more invested in developing a player and giving them opportunities if they own that player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 12 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12 I was excited to see him play for us last season, I'm definitely excited now he has a year of being the best Championship player under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold him for £5m, bought him back for £18m, so £13m profit for Hull which means we get a discount of £3.9m. So that means we pay £18m - £3.9m = £14.1m Which number have i got wrong that i get £14.1m net cost rather than £13m?

MrBlack Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Anyone questioning the buy back needs to go watch the highlight reel from his year at hull. Then, for those not convinced by the eye tests, go check out his fbref stat comparison against other wingers. This is going to be a great re-signing.
