Hasn't played much for Villa. Didn't even make the squad last weekend, was/is he injured?

Yes according to this. I think he'll start to pick up far more minutes when their European fixtures kick in and they need to make more use of the squad.

Feels like villa getting a bit Chelseaesque with signings and transfer business. They bought him back cheaply (13mill?) and less than our bid due to their own sell on clause then I think will just either loan out and sell in the summer for a profit. Think they view buying him back (albeit a lot more than what sold him for a year ago - 5 mill?) as an easy way to make money eg they know he's worth least 18 mill as that's what w bid for him etc.

It was still £18m, as although they paid Hull £13m, they would also have received £5m if he had gone elsewhere.

£13m + £5m = £18m.

The idea that he 'cost' Villa £13m is a fallacy.

Tbf, I have no issue with him choosing Villa over us. They are playing in the Champions League and are almost guaranteed to be a Premier League team next season, whereas from the outside, we're one of the favourites to go down.

That ship has sailed. He chose Villa as he was perfectly at liberty to do. If he gets a game, good for him. If he doesn’t and is peddled out on loan, he chose Villa.

Eh?

Stays at Hull: Villa receives £0
Goes to Ipswich: Villa receives £5m
Goes to Villa: Villa pays £18m but receives £5m = total cost £13m

Someone else signs him: Villa get £5m in their bank account.

Villa sign him, they don't receive that £5m, so they are effectively £5m down.

So... they have missed out on a £5m capital receipt, AND have laid out £13m.

The total cost to Villa is £5m (the income they have foregone) plus £13m (capital outlay). That's £18m.

Yes they paid Hull £13m, but the vital part you missed is that they have also foregone £5m in income.

Its simple maths. No worries if you cant get your head around it.

Think Philogene is different gravy to Clarke to be honest and that's no disrespect to Clarke who is a good signing. Philogene I think will be a top player once he gets the chance.

I don’t. Having seen them both, I think Clarke has just as much chance of becoming a top player as Philogene. They’re both top prospects. I would add that Hutchinson might just prove better than both of them.

I think had he come we would not have J Clarke. J Clarke is a much better player and cheaper.

I agree Hutchinson is right up there. I like Clarke, I just wonder whether he has the physicality and the raw pace to be a top player in the prem. Really hope so. He's an exciting player and I think he'll be great at coming on and being dangerous (and hopefully can force his way as a starter).

Philogene when I've seen him looks more complete, quicker and multiple ways to beat a man. Real prospect.

I'll be very happy if Clarke grows into a top class player. Already a good one and I think we got value in that deal.

It surprised me but he looked bigger than Hutchinson and isn’t short of pace. Likes to get involved too. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Maths yes on a cashflow projection
Accounting wise you are either £5m banked or £13m spent
Can't place possible revenue in your accounts if it doesn't materialise
Villa already banked £5m on the sale to Hull in first place
Technically coat them £8 net
Could have made £10 in total revenue if he was sold to us
Unless you were messing about then I am officially whooshed and well done sir!

I concur.

With the small revision that they didn't actually 'forgo' anything. They effectively 'cashed in' their sell on clause and netted it against the total required fee of £18m.

I think they sell him in the next window for 25 so they don't get their 5 from Hull sell but they make a quick 7 million for 6 months and Phil O Gene learns a life lesson.
He could have allready been embedded in the team.

It’s possible, but surely they’ll only get that kind of money if they play him? Who knows in the current crazy environment.

I do wonder if Billy Jean Philogene/his agent has put money before his career. Would playing regularly and doing well for a lesser team than Villa but better than Hull week in week out have been a better long term option? Time will tell.

They didn't want to sell Luiz. It was. More down to PSR issues which I guess is why there's been so many chelseaesque signings.
