Yeah but he was already under contract with us?
Plus medicals are largely advisory, if they find anything it’s up to the club if they want to take the risk and complete the signing.
Nah one year works both ways.
If we get promoted our value to sponsors increases massively.
I imagine Monzo aren’t keen on a long deal initially either, they probably can’t be chucking millions at us on a 5yr deal.
I assumed he would get announced somewhere ASAP. Odd one. You have to assume he's not actually signed a contract yet otherwise they'd announce it - god forbid his knee goes again in the meantime. His career would be over.
BBC reporting Villa have a buy back. Multi club ownership is against the rules isn't it?
No idea how he has 3 clubs willing to pay £18m for him, seems very very steep.
