JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 13 minutes ago, AshVilla said: Chelsea got mugged off with this deal. Effectively signed him for less than 20m with Kellyman going the other way. Seen Chelsea fans gutted by this. I'm fairness, I rate Kellyman extremely highly and they already have left backs so not sure if they've been " mugged off " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VillaChris Posted June 23 Popular Post Share Posted June 23 Will call it now, will be our signing of the summer even if we get in another four players as I expect. Given the general mood in this thread I don't think people realise quite how good he is. He'll work really well in the games we play Konsa at RB and exciting link up with Ramsey aswell if he can stay fit this year. It's a coup to get in a guy who's just started a CL final for 35m. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa’s record signing (if you ignore potential add-ons for players like Diaby)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Very happy with this one, but I think it effectively spells the end for one of Digne or the good looking guy we don't see very often. I hope we keep Digne of the two, raised his game under Unai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a CL finalist, but CL team of the season having only signed for them in January so missed the group stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we keep Digne of the two, raised his game under Unai. Hard to see Moreno staying now I think. Maatsen is more similar to him in style than Digne. We'll sell if a Spanish club comes up with 4-5m I suspect although of course more important to know what his book value is and see how far that would be off a loss chalked up for the summer 2025 accounts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its Digne thats moves on. However, if its Moreno, personally i would still sell Digne and bring in a backup to Maatsen who isnt one of our top earners. 125k/135k on a backup left back is pure madness for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne will go at latest in summer 2025, perhaps even the January. I think given we're playing CL I'd just like as many experienced in the competition to stick around and he's one of them.

Indigo Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Big fan of this signing, I think he'll prove to be a real improvement. If you were to list the current best starting eleven of this squad it's the full back positions for me that could be the most easily upgraded, which isn't to slight the likes of Digne and Cash, just that in certain cases they don't exactly fit the system as well as others would. Maatsen is a prime example of a good fit to the team given his profile. Considering this transfer window seems to be seen as being broken into two parts of addressing PSR and then after that making the more "marquee" upgrades to the team, it's encouraging that through this deal with Chelsea both bases have kind of been covered in one.

Cleared up the PSR mess, added young talent, a ridiculously good wing back and still hasn’t hit July 1 frenzy for our ideal targets. if he’s able to clear those two off our books along with 3/4 others then he’s well and truly one of the best going around.

Don’t think there’ll necessarily be any more ‘frenzy’ in July than now - not saying we won’t be busy but in terms of signings, there’s no need to wait until July 1. That end of June deadline is only key for sales that need to hit this year’s accounts… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Chelsea fans seem to think we’re inflating both Maatsen and Kellyman’s valuations by £5m - £10m here for PSR purposes (helping both clubs), which would make sense given £18m for Kellyman seems a little insane. In which case they seemed to be valuing him quite low at £25m - £30m given his pedigree last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
