I don't think it was never not on, it was just a big decision for him, he's a villa boy through and through, regardless of the rumours he was a secret United fan (more bollocks), he'd been with us for 19 years so it wasn't an easy decision I no doubt believe he had some worries/concerns, and who wouldn't, but I believe for where he's at its the right decision for him, we can't give him that yet what city can.I have to say that I thought he'd bottle it and stay at Villa, and said so to a couple of people earlier this week, really pleased to be wrong, it's a lot of money, but it's not mine, so who cares.
I hope he is as keen as his interview suggests when Pep tells him he's left back on Saturday ;-)
sadly do to FFP we have to go about getting up there a different way. Because the so called old sky 4 don't like what city did and they can't let more do it.
I read on the net people think we only got ings, buendia and Bailey because he's gone, but that's not true our owners have spent over 100 million last 2 windows each time and would again this window regardless of jack going or staying, and I feel our transfers haven't finished yet, and can see us spending a further 80 to 90 million if the right player comes available.
