Marv’s on a much bigger salary than what Luton can offer if you believe the Zimbabwean media (£55k pw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I’ve been thinking how we (me too) scoff at linked players who’ve been out of form. Makes me think of our players under Gerrard and how they improved under Emery. I wonder what under performing players out there that could be saved/ resurrected under Emery and Villa? It’s definitely a scouting thought to get some bargains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Just now, david-avfc said: I think I previously read Ajax were interested in Bailey last summer, they previously bought Haller from West Ham for £20m before selling him to Dortmund for a big profit so they are preparing to pay reasonably big fees if they think they can turn a player around. Bailey was a CL in the Bundesliga so a club like Ajax might take a punt on him. It isn’t going to be for what we paid for him but it might be good enough for us to cash in. We’ll see.. hard for us to make a call on much really. Leon seemed a lot happier under Unai and involved… made some contribution but can do a hell of a lot more. Personally, I think it’d be silly to sell such players at a loss. They have a lot more to give imo and Unai will help improve them all, he hasn’t been here all that long - first preseason, and first full season upcoming… We need a squad, our bench was threadbare last season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s out of contract in a year so is going to have to get used to the idea of not earning £2.5m a year (poor him) pretty soon anyway. Surely though that’s not bonkers wages and there’s a negotiation to be had, even if we contribute £1m to his wages for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
