Villa spending 55mil on CB. Taking their debt on spending in 7yrs to double of Everton’s. Yes we’ve paid higher wages and more to managers and sacking them, but they spent 3 of those 7 yrs in the championship, which probably lost them 150/200 mil in TV and sponsorship money.

Makes no sense to me how we can’t spend a penny and they can carry on spending fortunes
It's not going to last forever most likely
 
Leicester have already bid for him apparently

From what I read, they have made "inquiries", same as us and other clubs, they have the Maddison money now, so can possibly move quickly. But if your the players agent and you know there is interest from the premier league surely you wait and see if that interest firms up, before jumping at the chance to go to Leicester?

If FFP rules stay the same these things are just going to be cyclical, we had our go at spending our way to the European places and after a few years had to drastically tighten our belts, likely the same will happen to Villa in a few years with the spending they're doing and more importantly the wages they're taking on, they'll probably have to tighten their belts about the same time we clear our FFP worries and with the stadium revenues have another crack ourselves, rinse repeat.
 
Would have to be all of his wages, or keep him in the market for a sale.
Its being reported that lille want Gomes back, but dont want to buy him. When he went there last year he was lille's top paid player and that was with us paying half his wages! Good Grief! He is on £112K a week. I cant see anyone buying him and hes in his final year. I think Lille will probably get their way and sign him on loan again, paying half his wages.

If you don't succeed after spending big, in a couple years you will be in the same ffp boat

The aim for many of the clubs in these cycles, if they fail to kick on, will be not to get relegated like we’re trying to do season after season. I’d much rather do it the smart Brighton way rather than go for broke.

Horrible isn't it, we'd probably accept anything in the region of 5-10 mil for him at this point but 1, Andre isn't gonna half his wages and 2, if we do just bend at let him go out on loan then it'll only cost Lille about 3 mil in wages plus a small loan fee.

I could see that, we basically sell Gomes for £6m and then give him all that money and just write off the final year of his contract.

Deal moving at snails pace. Pretty apt given Gomes is involved
 
Looks like we have been linked with Piroe now, 23 year old striker scored 24 goals last season, has 1 year left on his current deal, scores some belters in the championship, if the fee isnt silly he could be decent, certainly looks too good for the championship.

We get linked with many players every season early on and 99.9% of the time haven’t, don't or won't even put a bid in for them, it's just pure paper talk.
