If this man genuinely thinks he can oust the incredibly talented and supreme class of LEWIS DOBBIN on the wings for Villa then he's dumber than I thought.

Get yourself to Everton lad!

Doubtful. Seems Villa’s clause would restrict him from going to another clause if they match the price. Otherwise this clause would be meaningless and they would never include it in contracts.

Can't imagine they could force him to sign for villa. How would they even decide on a contract if he had to go regardless

[777Kidnappings]

Think he'd be silly to go to villa. Think their interest is more about his transfer value than his value to their team

Three days of preseason training and they’re already looking to replace him

I would presume they would stay on the same contract without an extension.

I assume it is possible, I just doubt it happens since teams don’t want players that don’t want to be there.

No they can't force anyone to sign for anyone.

The clause just guarantees that Villa the option to have their offer accepted, if they match the highest bidder. It would still be upto the player where he goes.

Deffo going to get into "release clause" territory and the endless explanations on this one aren't we hahaha?

Sound. Move on.

See ya, man

[Dchans]

Never get a game

Unless diaby goes to the Middle East

Villa could’ve loaned him to Hull and got a fee, but instead they sell him to them for £5m and then buy him back for £13m.

So essentially Villa have paid Hull £8m to develop their player for a year, and now they also have to pay this in-demand player significantly more than they were paying him.

I genuinely can’t work out if this was clever or not.

Depends how successful he is for them I guess.

Yeah, indeed.

Although they’re sailing pretty close to the psr wind right now, but I suppose this goes on different accounts.
