Oh the dilemmas 🤣

🤣

For this cheap of a price it’s literally a no lose situation for us. Unless the kid is the only striker we buy this summer, that is. Even if he is underwhelming we’ll be able to at least double the £5m from some Spanish club. If he blossoms here we’ve got someone with top potential for the change between our sofa cushions.

Even I like the financials but I am sure people said there's no downside in signing Malang Sarr for free and look at us now. Haven't been able to shift him for years.

I would hope this new wage structure means we won’t be dumb enough to give this kid silly wages like we did Sarr. Isn’t he in 100k a week or something obscene? That’s some sackable shit.

more established forward like David or Beier

Beier is hardly 'established'

this is his entire topflight league career:

16 goals, 3 assists, 2558 minutes

he was only 20 and 21yo last season (Nico is now 23)

 

David, who is only a year and half older than Nico

has 97 goals and 23 assists at topflight league level

121 and 33 in all topflight club comps, including CL (4 goals and an assist in 10 CL games) and Europa League (7 goals and 4 assists)

plus 26 goals and 16 assists for Canada's Sr team

that's almost 200 total goals produced for club and country at topflight level, all at the age of 24 (he turns 25 around 7 months from now)

The Villa kid is a pawn in the FFP game. 

Probably, but I don’t get the math. I can hardly believe no other club would have offered a deal that gives us more than a 37,5m - 19m + a useless player out of selling Maatsen 

[Mhsc 869]

Personally I do not find anything about the £19m signing of some random Villa youth suspicious. Probably Joe Shields liked the look of him and he gets money to spend where he wants.

Doesn't even come close to being a bizarre signing by our standards over the last couple of years. Maatsen fee also perfectly normal imo, given what we got for Lewis Hall who was not even close to accomplishing what Maatsen has (CL final, wanted by multiple top European teams, etc)

June 30 deadline approaching. Didn't look like there were clubs lining up to pay that fee for Maatsen.

Your math is wrong. Maatsen is pure profit 37.5m now. The 19m are spread over 5 years, so close to 4m per season. We can account for more than 33.5m profit in this window. 
On the other hand Villa will do the same and will have a profit of 11.5m from this deal.

MAGIC 😀

Getting David for only €20-25million (£17m to £21m) would be the steal of the window in terms of non free transfers.

Didn’t Ugarte kind of flop at PSG after all the hype last summer?

Yep, that he is on the market at all is a sign.

I kinda really want David his link up and goal scoring would be so needed alongside someone like Jackson and it would allow if our left side isn’t producing to play both

Wait, experienced big money signings can flop?

ugarte was signed by PSG before they decided on enrique as their next manager. He does not suit Enriques style of play , so he wasnt really in his plans. He's a good player and will excel elsewhere

Good grab to get a Barca kid at that price. 

Hopefully there's another senior striker also coming
