    We've had an offer of an alleged GBP60m turned down by Villa.

    Dunno what to make of it, interesting timing. Interesting price too; we paid about that for Auba, I think, and he was around the same age.

    Feels like a waste of time. Villa won't sell to us unless it is utterly ridiculous money.

    Right. Perhaps he's just a stalking horse for someone (or no-one?) else.

    Looks like villa might be selling the other lad to the Saudis for an arm and a leg. They won't let both go.

    I can?t understand the boy wanting to kill his own career by switching to that pub league. He?s wahr, 21 ?

    Seems to be some suggestions that he is surrounded by people who don't advise him particularly well. From a footballing perspective, it is an absolutely dreadful move.

    He is, 21. A mercenary, obviously.

    Would he not angle for the move? I believe he is a Gooner...

    I think he would have to kick up a serious stink. And I am not sure I want someone who is willing to do that.....

    Villa like to act as though they are a bigger club than us. Selling to us looks seriously bad to them.

    It is possible that they need to sell and that is probably the only hope of this happening. But if the other lad goes to Saudi, that need is gone.

    I can't see this happening and I'm not sure I want it to.
