useless Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Their fans trying to convince themselves that Jobe isn't that good anyway and that £3m is a lot of money for him. He might not standout at Championship level, but doesn't need to at his age, just to look competent at that level as a seventeen year old is a sign that he could develop into a very good player, he'a regular with England through the age groups and recently has been captain, he might not be as good as his brother at the same age, but he's still a very promising prospect.

useless Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 It's not relative to his potential, I don't think most Villa fans would be happy if we sold any of Kadan Young, Travis Patterson, Josh Feeney for £3m, all of whom I'd rate at a similar level, and none of them have first team experience. Also it probably won't be £3m upfront, but a much lower fee then the rest paid when or if he reaches certain milestones. It's a briliant deal for the Stadium of LIght dwellers, as if he lives up to his potential he will be worth much more than that, and if he doesn't they won't have lost much, they've got nothing to lose really.

rodders0223 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Makes sense. Captain Gardner can use the 3m to pay some 32 year olds salary for 2 years. Shit for brains that guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Kind of shoots down their hopes of mega money new owners coming in, and stopping the rot.Still having to sell to balance the books, points to a bunch of asset strippers already showing their true intentions.

Pretty low-grade asset strippers at that, considering the paucity of assets at that place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-1 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 So the current sporting director at Sunderland was at Blouse when Jude was sold. Was raging at the deal as wanted more money for him but got overuled then not long after went to Sunderland. I know his wife and mother in law. Likely why Sunderland have gone for Jobe as will have a bit of family connection there already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
