Aye, and they already signed Maatsen from Chelsea last season, and he's their longer-term left back, also on a big wedge. Sell Digne to save £100k a week and they probably have an O'Brien-type in their squad who could fill in at left back.He’s on big wedge as well mate, which is why I think Villa are looking to move him on.
Unfortunately, there will be clubs in the Middle East queuing up for him. There seems to be an incredibly easy way out for these Sky clubs when it comes to offloading big earners for way over the odds. Wouldn't be surprised if Rashford, Sancho and Casemiro ended up over there as well from United, saving them over a million a week in wages.Who in their right mind is paying 50 mil for an almost 30 year old grealish who has been crap for the past 12 months
Cover for Myko, seriously? Myko should be the back up, we should be looking higher!Garner, jake and patterson, but we need one starting rb, and a left back cover for myko surely
If we gave Keane a one year, 30kpw contract as fourth choice, with an option for a second year if we choose I’d say a lot has changed since we gave him a five year contract at 80kpw or whatever ridiculous thing we did give himNothing has changed if we decide to give DCL & Keane a new contract.
The only party getting £50 million if Jack Grealish leaves Man City is Jack Grealish.Who in their right mind is paying 50 mil for an almost 30 year old grealish who has been crap for the past 12 months
What does actual proof look like though?
What it seems like is you know you've lost but you know other getting Maupay on the blower to say Bill done the deal,you're content to dig your heels in and stay the course.
Just hold your hands up...no one is arsed
Geezer BILL SIGNED MAUPAY!
Wow, £50m for four goal involvements (all competitions last season) from a winger! Anybody willing to pay that clearly has money to burn. I think we should probably prioritise other targets over a loan move for Grealish.
The main reason they won’t get that fee is because buying him means paying 100% of his salary.Wow, £50m for four goal involvements (all competitions last season) from a winger!

Been loads of talk of Martinez going which for them would be massive.Aye, and they already signed Maatsen from Chelsea last season, and he's their longer-term left back, also on a big wedge. Sell Digne to save £100k a week and they probably have an O'Brien-type in their squad who could fill in at left back.
Their wage-to-revenue ratio is between 85-90% (in 2022 ours was 90%, which is now massively reduced since we've lost Richarlison, Sigurdsson, James, Digne, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi, Holgate, Doucoure, possibly Keane, and several other big earners since then). We must be nearing the 70% amount now which is deemed more sustainable.
They added Ascensio and Rashford probably paying an extra £300k a week for their wages last season, however since they haven't made the Champions League they will probably not take up the purchase options on either.
Villa will definitely be selling fringe players, and probably one or two first teamers to try and revamp their squad and cut back on wages. Wouldn't be surprised if Bailey, Digne, Barkley were sold, and maybe even Malen and Martinez.
Maybe, but in a window where we realistically need 6-8 first team players, you have to pick and choose where to prioritise. Long term yes we probably need to look at LB, but we’re not in dire straights if Myko starts next season.Cover for Myko, seriously? Myko should be the back up, we should be looking higher!
