Player Valuation: £40m
This one baffled me at first but I think in the context of the Digne deal it probably makes sense - after signing Coutinho Digne's wages are a lot for Villa to take on so we are probably greasing things by taking a fringe player off their wage bill for the duration of Coutinho's loan. We get a decent backup player for a period when games are going to come thick and fast, with an option to buy if he does well, and if it secured a permanent transfer out for Digne when there were few permanent offers it's probably sensible business.
When are we signing a decent backup player? You're obviously not talking about the same El Ghazi who couldn't get on the pitch for Villa.
More bang average in an already struggling squad.
