I remember DK saying in an interview that paying substantial add ons to clubs if we get promoted to the Premiership is pennies with the income that suddenly hits the club.

I mean it’s very true and good business sense.

£1.8m for a 22 year old (admittedly 6 years ago) is an attractive deal as it showed with what Brentford sold him for. Not sure Longstaff would have a re-sale value. Quite like the idea of the Wimbledon striker but am pretty underwhelmed by Longstaff.

Just watched his 42 goal highlight season on YouTube. Can’t say I’m convinced he offers us anything more than what we have already. Looks like he is a poacher. No real sign of any pace. Certainly not worth the figures being suggested.

Ollie Watkins went from Exeter to Brentford for £6.5m

Billy Sharp £2.7m from Scunthorpe to Sheffield United

Same I’d be disapointed with longstaff. Langstaff would be a good signing though.

L2 is absolutely miles off Championship level and goal scorers particularly have trouble stepping up. Have real doubts about this even at £2m.

Scunthorpe were a league 1 team, they got promoted to the Championship as a result of Sharp's final season there

This is the sort of signing we make and everyone asks “why are we signing him” or somebody else signs and we say “why didn’t we sign him”

I looked at some article and took the fees. Anyway… I’m not bothered. I think Langstaff would be a decent signing for a £2m

Just read ~15 pages to catch up; what a rollercoaster.

Started strong with the ITK back and forth, nosedived with the puns and then steadily rose to the peak with the Langstaff rumour looking pretty likely (based on the NCFC ITK).

Re Langstaff, £2m seems quite high for a soon to be 27 year old L2 striker with limited resale options. Conversely, his goal scoring record is really strong and despite the level they were scored, it shows he’s got a goalscorers instinct. £1/1.5m with a load of add ones would feel better.

So Villa were wrong to spend a few million on Ollie Watkins, Brentford were wrong to pay £6.5 million for Ivan Toney and back in day Leicester were wrong to pay a million for non league Jamie Vardy.

I think Villa should have only paid once for Watkins TBH.

You have this weird habit of reading my posts in the strangest way then going mental about your misinterpretation.

Rumour is he wants £25k as that’s what Wright is on. I think it’s worth it TBH. Certainly more than more over three years for Langstaff.

Not sure him viewing a story on Instagram that he’s been tagged is much to go off. Will probably have just got a notification and clicked on it.
