Because we were trying to negotiate a lower fee with Villa. They didn't want to sell so we had to force the issue by meeting the amount of the release clause. Villa were unable to do anything about it then.

And did he sign for us?Not many Premier League club ones....Grealish took its time.
A simple yes will suffice.
Haaland took it's time too and Dortmund play in the Bundesliga so made it a little easier.I don't believe he did. Haaland did
This isn't a little cut and dried.And did he sign for us?

It really is that simple. He had a release clause and when we matched that, he was able to come. Villa couldn't block it. If we'd offered less (as I believe we initially did), then Villa had the right to reject our offer.This isn't a little cut and dried.
In the end we didn't reduce the fee.Because we were trying to negotiate a lower fee with Villa. They didn't want to sell so we had to force the issue by meeting the amount of the release clause. Villa were unable to do anything about it then.

No, because Villa wouldn't accept our offer. When we matched the amount of the release clause, he was able to come and Villa no longer were able to reject it.In the end we didn't reduce the fee.
Paqueta is a player that plays 8 and 10 but has defensive attributes that you find in players, playing 6 and constantly pressing and willing to do the dirty work. If required, he can create like a 10. Paqueta is such a baller.I don’t know about better, I think Oaqueta is incredibly talented, but I think Bruno is a better target. His skill set is rarer - there’s not many players who can play 6 and 8 equally well and be creative from deep and around the box.
Wingers/Attacking midfielder hybrids are common as muck really, there’s a new £100m one every year.
Rodri-Bruno-Foden could be a midfield until 2030.
Bruno is a 6 and 8 as you have stated. The reason Bruno can create from deep is because he can play as an 8. That is why I like NEVES so much, he does that with ease, his that guy. Back to Bruno, Bruno has that DOG in him, that our players lack, which would be a good thing for us to have.
If we had gotten both players, it would have been remarkable. We would go back to dominating the MIDFIELD BATTLE in every match, given the fact we play possession based football and our players try to win the ball very fast. It would have been a beautiful sight to see. I personally believe that Paqueta and Bruno G complement each other well.

Personal terms and release clauses are two separate things. Haaland took his time because he had multiple clubs willing to trigger his release clause, so he took some time to figure out which one was the best fit for him.Haaland took it's time too and Dortmund play in the Bundesliga so made it a little easier.
