2023/24 Lewis Dobbin

[ValBlue]

A ridiculous state of affairs when clubs need to do this dance.

Especially when they have just broke into top four like Villa.

They have a good manager, good players and a healthy amount of homegrown talent…and are still on the edge of being smacked by PSR. What is the point?

It’s just so clearly a tool to protect the traditional clubs from the injection of new money into the game.

I'm no expert on Villa.

But to me they seem pretty well run, owners have money and have just had a great season without spending like crazy.

Champions League means revenue will be up next season. And yet they are struggling with PSR?

Working as intended me thinks. Keep in your lane and know your place.

They introduced all this PSR stuff after Chelsea found success. Coincidence? I think not. They were too slow to stop City and have now went militant in stopping anyone else.

The league didn’t give a damn when it was the old money dominating the transfer market, tapping up every stand out young talent and bullying teams into selling. But suddenly now they’re previous over it. It’s SO obvious.

Any chance a comment on 'home grown players', just for me. Pretty please.

Really disappointing losing Dobbin. It's another squad player who goes without anyone readily available to step up and replace him.

We need to be adding pace, not losing it.

Stanley Mills.?

 

[SJB]

Have Villa bid half his value and told the media that they won't be held to ransom?

 

[Zatara]

No. Assume Dobbin is sold for the same 10 million as the other guy, the math for Everton is:

1. 10 million profit on Dobbin
2. Tim gets a 5 year contract, so his 10 million fee is amortized over 5 years, charge for 2024-2025 is 2 million

8 million profit for the year.

I feel like @Goat and @MikeH72 would benefit from this.

I probably won’t explain this well.
Let’s say we sign this lad for 10m on a 5 year contract.
We pay 2m up front as the 10m is spread over the length of his contract.
The selling club villa put the full 10m on the accounts immediately, therefore making an 8m profit.
We do the same with dobbin.
So basically both clubs get 8m profit on the psr sheet.
Or something like that.

Those two would also benefit from this.

Ive been saying we should do this for four seasons:

Meanwhile those two little girls who dont understand the rules seem to enjoy tagging one another and laughing at me for suggesting such a thing.

If only the club had done this four seasons ago = ZERO charges.

Just reading Villa are in for Maatsen as well.

Both Villa and Chelsea up to their necks in it too.

Looks like Maatsen joining Villa for £37.5 mill and would fully expect Duran to join Chelsea for a similar fee.

Both get about £30m odd profit this year and then spread the £37.5 fee over 5 years in ammortisation.

PSR is dead.

Around the same value United bid for Branthwaite.

A ridiculous state of affairs when clubs need to do this dance.

Especially when they have just broke into top four like Villa.

Its all designed to keep their favourites at the top.

Have Villa bid half his value and told the media that they won't be held to ransom?

Why not just ask people how PSR works?

Thf he would be going out on loan anyway the kid has something but this deal makes sense if we get their midfield prospect in return. We will need to bring in two wingers with pace if he does go.

Interesting to see how much he goes for.

Stanley Mills.?

No update on his injury
He's got great energy levels Mills but he doesn't have the kind of pace to get a team up the pitch quickly like Dobbin can.

Need direct replacements for Dobbin and Danjuma imo. Both should have real pace.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Be very sorry to lose Dobbin.
He is one of the few exciting players we have.
Although that is an indictment of how poor a footballing team we have become as much as anything.

Undisclosed fee.

Obvs

Haha is he?

This ain't Villa's first dance at this gig.

This is the game.

Can't wait til Friedkin sells BMD to his dog's brother's mate for £1.8bn.
