Yes but that isnt what I'm asking of us.
"Wish our owners had their their levels of riskiness."
You literally did though... Hence my replies.
Not with running their level of wages, just their willingness to risk a bit of ambition.
It's all getting a bit mealy here mate......
You said the same "level"......................If not their spending, what other aspects of high level risk-taking are you alluding to then?
Do you think we could operate in the transfer market a bit more freely, with a bit more risk given our PSR headroom?
Yes, is the answer, we could. But we chose not to.
That depends on the specifics of the clause - the main point is that the selling club have no choice, if we trigger the option to buy then they have to accept at the pre-agreed price. Yes it is possible - in my opinion likely in this instance - that the player himself may have a clause whereby he can reject the permanent move in the summer, but that's completely different to what was being said by the poster I was quoting - he was saying that even with a buy option, the selling club can still refuse to sell - which is just obviously nonsense.
You said you wanted to take the same "level" of risk as Villa.
"Wish our owners had their their levels of riskiness."
If you'd merely said "I'd like us to spend a bit more" you'd have had no arguments.... But you didn't.
What an idiot. Doesn't he realise we're running on fumes and desperately need some quality to give all of our front players a rest in a variety of games? So there should be loads of games for him, in a variety of positions!
And his voice makes my teeth hurt. Fucking scouse cunt.
Got you to help waste my time while I was waiting for my train though didnt it? Cheers
Maybe these guys will all develop and we have to eat our words. I dunno.

Mate, you're cooked.... Choose another hill.
...You could have just sat peacefully enjoying happy thoughts.
What a waste.
This list is shit and I can prove it, because there was a Swedish bloke used to come on here. He told us all ( more than once) that Lucas Bergvall was junk. Barely a footballer more an ugly Majong player who had lost his way in his miserable misbegotten life. And was so reviled he wouldn't be allowed back in Sweden. I miss that guy, he knew his stuff.
Haven't FIFA put a ruling in that wage to income ration has to be brought down to 70% by something like 2027?
For Villa to sustain their wage bill, their revenue would have to be significantly higher than it currently is you'd think. Considering how long it took us to reach our current level, you'd think that they'd have a snowball's chance in Hell of doing that over the next 2-3 years, even if they got CL on a regular basis.
I wasn’t asking about the selling club as it’s pretty bloody obvious if they allowed an option to buy then they’ve already agreed to it

you’d know that I was saying at the end of the day it’s up to the player . No option to buy would be compulsory as you could end up with a player who simply wouldn’t play .
Not sure what you're having a go at me for, you asked me a question and I answered it as best I could. I agree with you - I have no idea what 'officially' happens if a 'buy' clause is executed and the player doesn't want to stay but has no clause to veto it, that would be a strange situation I agree, and presumably then the buying club would pull out, I agree they wouldn't want a player who didn't want to be there. I know it's 'pretty bloody obvious' that the selling club has to sell if the buy clause is exercised - that why I said the original poster's comments were nonsense. Absolutely no idea why you're having a go at me, but hey ho, takes all sorts I guess. :/I wasn’t asking about the selling club as it’s pretty bloody obvious if they allowed an option to buy then they’ve already agreed to it

I’m not having a go at you at all , sorry if it came across that way
Djed is sooooooo much better than Porro & Udogie combined. If Ange leaves him on the bench again, he really is a clueless git and deserves to get fired...though to be fair we already know he is and does.
Players turning their back on Chavs academy and walking for free is a really good sign.
.......Agents might be starting to see through Boehly's strategy of treating their youth like meat.
