I completely agree but I’m looking at it objectively as a single signing. I’ve no doubt that your concerns will be addressed as well.

foreveryoung Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It'll be a Gerrard signing, an for £350k a week, he won't be failing or lazy under Gerrard, he just won't allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just now, Peter Griffin said: And what I am saying is that Villa should be putting an option in the contract so that AVFC can trigger a permanent contract which would stop Coutinho signing for another club as a free agent if we want to sign him permanently for Villa Why would Coutinho agree to that? He’ll either agree to sign for us now if he thinks we’re his long term best bet or become a free agent in 18 months and look at what offers he receives. He’d be foolish to let us bind his future to us at our discretion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 60s had its moments too. Edited January 6, 2022 by DaveAV1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted January 6, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2022 It would certainly be a marquee signing. And one which would not have happened had our manager still been Dean Smith. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time Not when it means taking a massive pay cut they don’t He’ll keep his options open. Hopefully if he’s a success he will feel like he can continue that with us but he’d be foolish to agree a contract with us now, even if it’s just to strengthen his negotiating position with us in 18 months.
