They got Doug cheap and we got Iling and Enzo cheap. €70m for Doug and €42m for Iling and Enzo is still a realistic deal, with the same outcome. €28m and two players but the reported fees of 50/22 has benefits. Particularly with future amortisation and more profit when we sell the players. it’s a deal to cook the next 5 books, not just this years books Given that this sale and subsequent signings included in the deal all have an element of cooking the books, I’m not sure why we should ever expect any of the figures to be remotely accurate, hiding such things is always how these things work and it isn’t easy in an industry tha attracts so much attention anyway.

While he wheels and deals and negotiates and takes account of PSR factors, and while you're right that the reported (by the media) figures might not be right, in reality there's the accounts, tax law, Football law and so on, which mean the books aren't cooked. The real figures are reported to the Tax authorities, the Premier league and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted July 13 Popular Post Share Posted July 13 We shouldn’t ever be afraid to sell players when this guy is here. We’re acting like a proper football club now. We’re levelling up by hook or by crook. Sell Ramsey? Dont wanna, but you know what, trust these guys. We can’t spend endless amounts of money but what we can do is box clever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 You guys remember the time when we use to get excited about signing players like Bjorn Engels. We’ve evolved so much, that time feels like a million years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted July 14 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 14 He's bold, he's making big moves, being aggressive in the market place and unafraid to change things up. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating and I'm hoping that in a couple of months time it tastes delicious. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Monchi has done well when it comes to moving players on that are deemed to not be good enough. Its an important part of squad management as it generally makes the team stronger and more competitive. No idea on Hause? But if we can move on Dendonker in this window then that's the last of the Deadwood players. I know Coutinho is only on loan but it's been reported his wages are fully covered and you imagine something will be sorted for his final year too. I personally would include Olsen on this list too as I think his spot would be better filled with a younger keeper who has upside and improvement.

ferguson1 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Sounds like Monchi’s burner phones are going to be busy this week and next then. I can picture his desk drawer at BMH….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CarryOnVilla Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 Watching this again in the context of this window… and without going in to spoilers you can see how and why he gone after the players we have, and how he’s valued their worth as players. In a round about way, you can see how Villa are linked to so many players. You can see why Emery wanted him. In short this man is no rouge maverick that’s cooking wild deals out of nowhere. he’s just a warm hearted mega geek that’s methodical with his planning, scouting and building his knowledge. He wants to make everyone happy. The owners, the manager, the players, the fans and even the selling club/buying clubs.. he’s here to be do long term business and not rip everyone off when he can He’s no Daniel Levy, he’s Monchi 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you’re rights and I’m sure we wouldn’t be daft enough to break any laws but keeping stuff to yourself is always the right way to go about things , controling the message and not doing all our business in public makes a lot of sence and will be helpful for future deals too. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer, is the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
