Only thing would be if Villa owned her image rights and they had to buy them off us but that seems extremely unlikely. Her real value is off the pitch (not saying she's not a talented footballer) and I'm sure she and her agent already owns the image rights.

Yep, Heck made a big deal out of her social media presence and number of followers in a recent article/interview.

Big Emi too… we could get him to help us on the commercial side a fair bit. Argentinian hero, idol.

I'm guessing the fee was maybe £100k if any.

Just pulled that out of his arse then?

Maybe but… something must have led him to believe that.

Is she even among the top 100 best players in the world? Juve paying 10 times the world record fee for her would be akin to Manure paying £8m for Bebe back in the day.

I don’t believe it but just wondering where he’s got that idea from… maybe we did get a couple of mil but surely nowhere near 12.

Oh well. Every penny counts

I thought it was a strange comment the other day, thought I’d misheard him.

She was sitting in the bench for Switzerland the other day, came on in the second half, surely UEFA would be asking questions if true?

Never seen this guy before. He looks like the neighbour from Jingle all the way.

I think the fee is closer to €12k than €12m.

[CarryOnVilla]

No way we got £12m for her, that would be a world record fee and all over the press

He made the comment because of the fee, there could be investment in the women’s team, it would be a very big stretch if it was £1.2m and typed in the wrong figure on his notes for the show.

Shes just not good enough for even that figure.

[MaVilla]

Maybe it's 1.2m

Never watched Brooklyn Nine Nine?

Can the ladies' money impact the men's FFP?

[CarryOnVilla]

Even £1.2m is a world record fee

Yes, can be offset against any loss.

Juve are famous for cooking their books (and currently on trial for it) so maybe we made some deal where they book some of the Luiz transfer into her deal No idea what the point would be about that thou.

The same thought crossed my mind, but it just seems far too dodgy and the PL and UEFA would be all over it.

I’m guessing maybe €100-200k fee. She had two years left on her deal. I don’t think it was anywhere to close to €1m.

That seems more realistic. £120k is still An amazing fee for her
