Don't shoot the messenger on this one

Villa are losing 800k a week, they need to drastically cut costs, I think some of their contracts are coming to an end but they won't be paying that kind of money for anyone this summer.

70K?

Really can't see this happening but it could be in everyone's best interests. I like him, but I don't rate Bamba as highly as some on here and fear he would struggle in the Premier League and this could be the perfect get out, "Thanks for the hard work Sol, now enjoy a massive pay day at Villa". Would really surprise me if this is true.

On Grealish, I'd love him down here. Fantastic player who'd be a fan favourite

A few comments from me.
Villa's FFP margin is only around £2M
They lose a huge slice of their parachute payment, so my insider says that they have to find around £30M to stay still & Xia cannot inject that amount of money in one go (Keith?)
Terry's wages are around £70k / week
Grealish is a home boy, very insecure and surrounds himself with some questionable people. Can't see him leaving Villa (remember Zaha to Manure / City)

Bamba to Villa possible, £5M / £70k week never.

On the flip side Villa are going to have a major clear out in the next month or so. They sold their soul to get promotion this season

Isn’t terry off? Wasn’t it a one year deal?

One year with an extension option & big promotion bonus. The one year was supposed to be around £4M + £1M bonus. I;ve got an inkling he might stay, if they can afford him.

Yeah whatever. The first of many "nothing to see here" posts we will undoubtedly see before season kick off

Sorry BBS, not shooting you here, however this is almost as laughable as that eejit WUM Louth's attempt at winding us all up about our Gareth not being in the top 5 in the world.

Gareth who

[life on mars]

His Mrs did say on social media the other day that they were off to the playoff final between Villa and Fulham which I did find a tad strange as assumed they would have been off on their hols by now??

She booked premier inn months ago ,thinking we'd be in the final

Little wonder we didn't beat Reading. I blame Gary Monk for making Mrs B having to suffer that ticky tacka at Wembley.

[Louth]

Not at all. He personifies a lot of what's wrong with the game.
I wouldn't want him in the City team end of.
