Villa have avoided potential administration after current owner found two guys worth £6bn to ‘invest’ in the club but which is effectively a takeover.
Still got FFP hole to fiddle and may still have to sell the few decent saleable playing assets we have, but at least the most obvious threat to existence is over.
Mason Mount is the new ‘Wonder’ boy.
We do make money loaning out players and there is a big queue for them.
We have bought one player in.
We are after Higuain and now Fekir?
I am not surprised. However, given that Everton paid £30M for him last year, have plenty of money in the kitty, and that he has a very lengthy contract, he will be very, very expensive. I can’t see him going for less than Allison in the current situation, and probably a lot more.
That would be a decent profit on Pickford, but I can’t see Everton being interested unless they have a replacement lined up and can bank £20-£30M. That means £60M is unlikely to get it done.
