PSR compliance, Villa really struggle with over 90% of their revenue going on wages so in January and again this window they are loaning players in rather than permanent deals
100% agree with the above, and would add that doing them a solid now will help smooth a potential future move for Rogers. Arguably the outline of that future deal has already been agreed.
They’re skint
Yep PSR. Cost into next year.
and would image a loan fee of 5-10m… to add to the £35m. Plus no wages this year.
Loan to Elliot means that he can’t play against his parent club while still being able to play against other clubs.
Strengthening Villa might mean our rivals take a hit too. Emery is a very good manager
This is the thing Villa fans get pissy about they aren’t skint. The rules hogtie them.
And the shit result/ umpiring last game of the previous season.
Story of my life - hogtied by rules
Anyway, good luck Harvey. You will never walk alone!
Rogers in the coming months
More chance of Brendan
Where, if Wirtz fails or Szoboszlai becomes a RB?
Long term Salah replacement maybe?
In the coming months the window will be closed.
You can negotiate for a Jan transfer, like we did for Virgil
So did this happen or what?
I think we’re doing Villa a massive favour by giving them the player now, but allowing them to delay the fee until next year. I think the reason we have done that favour is because we expect it to be reciprocated.
That would be a bit naïve tbh. Recent events have just underlined that you can’t trust anyone in this business.
