I'm easy with alot of the mooted transfers and youngsters going, but this one actually upsets me I can't lie. The " PSR " roundabout and gaming is cool in one sense but only to a certain extent. This is probably the kind of thing Bardell and Tanswell were referring to when they were saying based on what they've heard it almost seems " nothing is off the table ". I rate Kellyman extremely highly and to think of the prospect of him going to pad up moneybag piss takers Chelsea , or anywhere at all just to make up their numbers is very frustrating. I'm 99 percent in the trust the board and management camp etc always, but unless there is more to this, it will be probably the first one which rubs me the wrong way.

Man city sell academy players for the same amount and we 15 mill for Ramsey or something like that. You wouldn't sell a player like Kellyman for 10 mill, the potential upside you are losing if he fulfills his potential is massive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thabucks Posted June 22 Popular Post Share Posted June 22 (edited) Happy we’re finally monetising our academy - Southampton basically paid for Haaland - Kellyman isn’t ready just yet to contribute to our first XI and is a sellable asset - we pinched him off Derby during their financial troubles and are now could be selling him for a vast profit so we can strengthen out first team. Nothing wrong with that Edited June 22 by thabucks 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nick76 Posted June 22 Popular Post Share Posted June 22 1 minute ago, Hank Scorpio said: Thing is we keep having to sell promising youngsters to teams that are supposed competition. Long-term there's only one winner there and it's not villa. Chelsea seem to be able to spend without punishment. Yet here we are. We are just bringing in Iling-Jnr, Barrenechea and Maatsen and out goes the likes of Kellyman and Tim….I think we are doing quite well actually. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 5 minutes ago, PeterSw said: Not for me this one. I'd be really disappointed if we sold him and even more so if it was for £20m. That's peanuts.. even for FFP. A season on loan in the Championship or at a bottom Prem club and he could come back a proper player Peanuts i think its insane and outrageous even is valued anywhere close to 20m. He has rarely played for us and they are paying for potential. If this happens then illing junior is the replacement for kellyman in the squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) The thing is, the kid was not going to get a great deal more game-time next season with us than he got this season. The likelihood is that he would have been loaned out for experience just as he will be at Chelsea. And I'm sure they will find him a loan every bit as good as the one we would have. Especially after forking out £20m on him. Edited June 22 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy has bags of potential. £20m is a lot of money but I am gutted as thought he’d be the next one coming through and was excited to see him in the team. PSR sucks ass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was reported couple days ago that there would be a player going chelsea's way from us with the maatsen deal which wasn't duran and not a big name. Kellyman fits the bill. Still chance of duran deal being done separately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem basing things on a player's 'potential' I guess. We are in win now mode and if we use the funds well and become a consistent top 4 team down the line, no one will remember (or care) about this deal. I've changed my mind.. I'm on board. Get him sold.. and give them a reminder about the Duran deal whilst you're in the phone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellyman, as an example, is down the pecking order but has value due to his potential - it's a no brainer to let him go for 20m when we're in the PSR bind we're in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 12 minutes ago, UpTheVilla26 said: Rather this than we have to sell Emi, Watkins, Bailey etc... This kid could come good, he could be playing in the Dutch 3rd division in 5 years. Nobody knows. What I do know is if they wanna give us £20mill then our PSR is sorted and we can bring in 1st team ready quality for next season in the Champions League. It's all very short term. What happens in 3 or 4 years when we need younger players coming through and we sold our best ones to a supposed competitor just to beat an arbitrary deadline for accounting for one year to avoid punishment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our revenue is so far behind that we will have to make some sacrifices here and there with the bigger picture in mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
