terrythevillan Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 At this point in time makes complete sense to me. Better options to play next to Ollie and on the RW, with a bit of profit banked. I would have tried him more on the left, simplifying his game to using his pace going on the outside, but with the LB pushing so far forward probably doesn’t provide enough cover for the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Mirror reporting it’s done for £60M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Hopefully it’s at least that much (and there are add ons and a sell on percentage) but… when the article states that we bought him for £51m, that raises some doubts. Weird how often the figure either varies or is reported incorrectly. - At least a £20m profit would be excellent tbf. We wouldn’t get that from anywhere else.

Popular Post CarryOnVilla Posted July 21 Popular Post Share Posted July 21 £60m feels like the most we would of ever gotten for him. Book profit, over all profit, good deal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) I still think it is an odd one. Our best season since 1996, no guarantees replacements can sustain that type of form at all. But good for the accounts I suppose.... he's about three fifths the cost of a new North Stand (joking!)

I suspect not all add ons have been met, but champions league qualification and game time definitely has triggered some. I suspect we spent about £40/45m ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won’t happen, but… if we could buy Nico Williams for less than we get on the sale of Diaby, that might be the best bit of transfer business ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't be trusting anything else in the article tbh However if we are landing around £60m for him we're booking a PSR profit of £30+ Edited July 21 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Can't complain at all for £60m and a profit for a player who did have growing question marks (by all parties: club and player, I think) over fit, etc. towards the end of the season. Presumably the club will invest in another marquee forward. Edited July 21 by wishywashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 3 minutes ago, PaulMcGrath_5 said: I’d say £40-45m is an absolute maximum, yeah. Depends what number you're quoting. Is it total possible price with add ons or the fee we paid that is his book value? Ornstein is the Tier 1 of Tier one and he quotes £34.6m + add ons. I saw the add ons could be up to another £15m in other reports. So this is where this £50m number comes from I suspect. So there is truth to both numbers. What matters though now we are selling him is his remaining book value. Which is around £27.5m so a sale price of £60m is a nice profit for PSR and it is in the next 3 years accounts for Squad Cost rule too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
