No, Slot preferred to live in an apartment nearby the Axa

Christian Purslow on Sky being very scathing about Isak and the alleged promise that he could leave…

Is the headline “Twat talks shit”?

Purslow is the man who oversaw Villa’s recent rise, but one built on unsustainable spending that would ultimately undermine as they looked to stabilize and get into compliance.

I told him to go be a prat somewhere else. Didn’t think he’d listen

I’m glad it’s done. He is an excellent striker, and we have looked a bit short up front. There’s a puzzle to solve in how it all works together, but that’s Slot’s problem. 
The money is daft, but not nearly as daft as the initial fee they were talking about. Newcastle fans are sore, which is understandable. Hughes has played a blinder and he really does look the best in the business.
As for the gloating and having a little pop at Newcastle, I love the banter as much as the next man, but I can’t fully go there. They lost their star man, and much as they see themselves as our rivals, it feels a bit small to be punching down at them.
Onwards and upwards!

Hahaha brilliant!
Sometimes once you get over a certain limit it can be easy to get blasé about incremental increases. “We’ve bid 110 so why not just go up to 135 and get it done?” But in the end there was nearly entire Harvey Elliott between what we paid and what Newcastle were asking for.

Well it’s pretty much Guehi’s fee.

Is it true that Juergen once said “if I ever have to spend £50M on a player, then it’s time I walk away”
If so, just as well he went when he did then.

Well technically we haven’t spent 100 million on a player - 116 and 125

So, when Slot outlined his vision of the team to Wirtz and his dad, did it include this?
‘Yeah, we plan to wait until deadline day and then bring in Isak and Guehi, just to keep people on their toes’
