More random stuff… I’ve read that if we were after Jackson & buy him (cos we can’t loan him) within 45 days of them buying Rogers off us, then that counts as part of a swap deal & affects the PSR thing.
Also, if we’re looking at left backs, Carlos Augusto of Inter, Brazilian, 27 y/o, 1 year left on his contract & he’s stalling on signing a new 1. ??♂️

I hope we are not just waiting the 45 days before we buy him. If it happens, I will have lost all respect for whoever makes the transfer calls at Villa.

Just been looking into a striker I've mentioned on here before, Jose 'Flaco' Lopez, he's left footed like Jackson & less than half the price. He was in the Argentina squad for the World Cup, you'll like this... When Spain went to receive the trophy, all the Argentinian players & staff turned their backs, except 1, Flaco Lopez. He has since said that he doesn't care if he doesn't play for Argentina again because he went against what the rest of them did or were told to do.
That's class from him. Check out his YouTube highlights. I think he'd be perfect for us, but if he was to end up elsewhere, I wish him all the best. Good to see someone with integrity & morals playing the beautiful game. ??

Whack, I assume that means you'd have lost all respect for Emery if it happens?
Because, every time Emery is linked elsewhere, the excuse is 'why would he leave when he has full control'.
I'm gonna say it yet again, Unai Emery, fantastic manager, but good Lord, keep him away from your money as much as possible.

Our track record over the last 10-15 years with players has cost us quite a lot of money, with very little success. The money we made on the likes of Roger's, Duran, Ramsey, Youri, etc., is great business, but we have to follow it up with smart moves. A 40 million buy clause in the Garnacho loan deal and another possible 60 million to buy Jackson is absurd.
One has a terrible attitude, the other has never proved to be good enough for the Premier League. Chelsea can’t find anyone to buy either of them; both are probably on ridiculous wages as well. We could end up in a situation where we get nothing out of the 115 million Roger's money.

The only scenario I'd see of us buying Jackson is if we got the £40M we've been said to be asking for for Watkins, & Chelsea wanting £60M for Jackson doesn't mean they'll get it. ??♂️
