Matt Tiger Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I like the look of him. Looks to be very long and with good pace. Uses his legs in challenges like Onana. Doesn't seem like he's ready for big minutes, but with Gana and Doucoure here I would like this signing a lot. They can eat up most of our central midfield minutes and we can allow him to develop like we did with Chermiti. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: maybe to the Flash Gordon theme? Tim! Ahaaaa! Iroegbunam! It works in my head since I'm struggling to work out how his family name is pronounced Sev, Matt Tiger, patto and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Like many, I have no idea who he is or whether he'd be a signing for now or the future, but the Villa fans seem gutted about losing him so that bodes well. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 We have had a good track record to date with 'defensive' midfeilder types with a Aston Villa history - so perhaps a good omen. Very much the sort of players we should be buying - about ready to play a part in the premier league, and with massive potenital. Sometime these young lads just need the opertunity to play.

RuffRob Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 if we are also buying a player from Villa now to help their PSR before end of June - then I wonder if that means we currently have money to spare in the period 23/24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 A lot of the articles I have read suggest Villa are willing to sell a young prospect given the significant benefit it has on their 23/24 PSR accounts. It will be interesting to see if we sign before end of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been in talks to sell Luiz and Duran so I would assume they wouldn't need to move on a young prospect that quickly for PSR but maybe those deals are having problems.

RuffRob Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 PSR is so fucked up when it make the best thing for clubs to do is sell young talent that they have been developing, simply because thats what looks best on the books and ticks the right boxes in the accounts.

Looked at what their fans are saying - 18 months ago every club was after him. Gerrard was a big fan. Limited game time as Villa have an abundance of talent in midfield and they need to balance books. its the type of deal we need to be doing imo. The structure will likely be over 4 years for us and Villa get pure profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better gamble than Maupay. More to come from him and we won't lose that much on him. We could have got better if we never blew so much on crap - the deal structure made it a gamble worth taking.
