I read that Chelsea will want at least twice the £32m they paid for him 2-years ago. I don’t really understand why this would be the case for a player that hasn’t been a resounding success, and they are looking to sell because they’ve basically replaced. Unless the market for strikers is over inflated I suppose? Chelsea’s business model seems to be to hoover-up players to almost create a scarcity.

Not only would it be horrible playing those 'Ban the Boat' knobheads, but we can't even tick off a new team played (knocked them out of the FA Cup in 1887).

If Forest qualify for Europe again this Season, am I right in thinking they will also find UEFA's spending rules a lot more inhibiting?
Massively.

Nicolas Jackson: “When Unai left (Villarreal), he wanted me to go to Aston Villa, but I was injured. I wanted to leave because the coach came in. I had to go, but I was injured a little bit in my hamstring. We went there, they checked & said I needed one more month, but they want me now. I was not ready, so they had to cancel the transfer..” @Football_LDN
I don't understand the Miss Jackson thing. He is on £100K per week at that team with no class. His agent would be looking at a salary of around £150k, which we can't pay. So are we really in for him, or is Monchi playing 3D chess and he has another target in mind?
Maybe he sees that he's surplus to requirements at Chelsea and wants to reunite with the coach who made him into a player worth a big salary? He hasn't done enough at Chelsea to warrant a 33% payrise either (if indeed hes on >£5m a year now)

Clearly, I need to look at the ‘clickbait’ mentioned by Olneythelonely.
And no, Olneythelonely, it’s not bloody ‘obvious’ if you haven’t seen it. Which is the point I was making.
I genuinely didn’t mean that to sound as arsey as it looks.
I didn’t think it was arsey. I think Lou was arsey, even though I love her.

I thought the same Olney and didn't think it came across too arsey.

Shouldn't a loan fee equate to at least a quarter of a typical permanent contract ie 4 years? So if Roma sign him on a permanent deal next summer for £20m, 1 year of prime Bailey should be £5m instead of the £2m we're getting for 25/26.
I presume we're prioritising his wages coming off our books.
Seems mad that we paid Chelsea £11m for a one year loan for Barkley in 2020/21.
There was a good explanation of this on one of the villa podcasts today. Bailey's value gets recalculated at the point he signed a new contract - essentially the initial £30m minus whatever was amortised by that point. Rough approximation it was about £10m left on book value at that point - which then amortises over the duration of the new contract. So essentially the loan fee pretty much covers a year of his new value, with the prospect of a sale being mostly profit if that option is taken up.
Yes I heard that. They’re also covering his wages - £6.2m for the year. The amortisation was really well explained.

They all did, that day.
