Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

You are talking about two different situations and diverting away from a point you tried to make last time we had this conversation. The deal WAS agreed and the ONLY reason it did not happen is because the new owners blocked it and then tried to double the AGREED fee. Talking about other deals between other teams is not really relevant to what arose between us and Villa.
You two are talking at crossed purposes. @Finney Is Back contention is that before Villa even had discussion regarding new owner investment a deal was there to be made. Due to the (slow) speed of negotiations Villa were able to gain new investment and the opportunity to sign Grealish cheaply was missed.

I’m not.... I’m talking about 2 very, very similar situations of 2 players both available for £25m who had two specific clubs after them. One of those clubs managed to make an acceptable bid by June 20th. The other club didn’t make an acceptable offer until second week of July (despite starting talks for that player well before the other club). The acceptable bid was not made until they got word that investment was coming into the selling club. The same club who didn’t think the player was worth £25m before they learnt investment was going into Villa thought the player was worth £35m two months later however.

Fingers crossed the chairman has learnt his lesson (or better still just get a DoF in please Daniel)

No you are missing the point, the deal was agreed before the new owners came on board. The point i am making is that there have been a lot of comments from fans about Levy unwilling to pay the 25 million that Villa wanted for him, some say we never even tried. Neither of those comments were true, i am not trying to say Levy is good or bad but the truth is that he did go for him and agreed the deal.

Thank you sir... that is the exact scenario.

It was agreed when they had started talks but not yet agreed to invest. There were 6 weeks before then to do that deal.

We will have to agree to disagree like we did say last time, BUT every time i hear SOME say Levy WOULD NOT pay the 25 million that Villa wanted i will point out that is just not true.

You are right.... he actually would’ve even paid £35m for him.... just not £25m in June for some strange reason?
 
Outs at a minimum this Summer

Lloris
Sanchez
Winks
Rose
Sissoko
Lamela

Yes, though only one of those are first teamers. Need replacing more of our squad players with home grown players too such that we have more freedom with players closer to the first 11

The point is, Levy agreed a £25m deal and then waited day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day and the deal was taken away.

That is Levy's mistake, he is not decisive.
 
How do you all know this stuff?

Seriously you guys must either know some top notch people in the club or have access to people that do.

I keep reading how Levy did this, that it the other and I’m amazed that we have so many well connected people on here

Keep it up guys
