I haven't the foggiest, but our owners are billionaires both of them, and you don't get that money without knowing how to do clever accounting ;-), plus our CEO helped with the FFP rules so he must know every loop hole :-) surely.Nice to see a reasonable Villa fan on the plot.
I've always had a soft spot for Villa and think you've done some good business this summer. Certainly not prepared to stand still by any measure.
How does the spending you detail fly in relation to FFP mate?
Er......apart from inflating the fee by 60+%.Not a fan of Simon Stones by any means but back in 2008 that that paragraph was basically true

I just thought his Villa loyalty would win out, and that he'd stay a big fish in a smaller pool. I've no issue with Villa (some of your fans are clowns, but we all have them), and I hope you spend the money wisely, you already seem to have to me, and you can push some of the others as a result.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.
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.

I hope the food was good, it was when I visited a couple of years ago.
Hopefully, and think it's realistic for us this season, we were only 12 points off last season and we lost Jack for 3 months, as our CEO said in his interview you cant replace Jack with 1 player, we have brought in 3 that cover what Jack gave us plus more, and think we will get 2 to 3 more.Fair fucks.

Top 4 is out of reach for us this year but you can always hope I suppose :-)
"Its a lot to pay for a player who wii be sat on the bench"Has Merson shared his thoughts on the transfer yet?

Really hope you do ... but be warned; once you actually start to challenge United or Liverpool on the pitch, you'll get no end of abuse / accusations of cheating / negative press / everyone who joins you will be portrayed as a mercenary / there'll even be periodic attempts to have you banned, etc.But it's OK when united did it or still do it with borrowed money and huge debt, as an outsider I love watching yourselves putting there noses out of placed.
Hopefully in a few years we can get up there with you and do the same to the old sky 4 lol
Sadly, English football is built to revolve around those 2 arrogant clubs.
If I were Sterling I'd get that contract signed or find myself at Zenit.Doubt you can see anything official. Depends on who you want to believe though. But if it is kdb money then wow, I wonder how Sterlings negotiations would go.
I would choose not to believe those initial reports.
