Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[Clampy]

Regarding his wages, who's going to foot the bill?

[Legion]

Aston Villa can confirm that Kosta Nedeljković has joined RB Leipzig on a season-long loan.

Regarding his wages, who's going to foot the bill?

His wages aren't massive so heel probably be paid by Leipzig.

[SoccerHQ]

Bizarre one isn't it?

This time last year he was playing regularly in pre season, doing well and then featured v West Ham and Arsenal (he played over an hour at home to Arsenal).

However Unai clearly saw something in that period he didn't like one bit as then Bogarde suddenly leapfrogged him for RB and he was bang average in that period.

Then we loan him out to a club and eventually he gets in ahead of a player we seemingly wanted to sign last summer (Geertruida).

Everyone expects him to join them permanently but Leipzig don't want to pay 10m and so we just give them him on season loan anyway? Perhaps the permanent option has been moved to January as they have changed managers.

I think our right hand side is a bit of a mess currently.

Bogarde was no good at RB so I can't believe for one second he's seriously being considered for that area of the pitch again. Cash been a loyal servant and he knows the system but things like the last day hardly help him with the fanbase and Garcia is a bit like Ned, played two games and we've barely seen him for months after.

We can't play Konsa there because we don't have any back up for him at RCB. Disasi's poor efforts at RB also show we can't just sign any CB and stick them at RB.

It's not really an area of the pitch where we can just attempt to flip a young one with promise without actually giving him a serious chance imo.

[Mister E]

He hasn't really played for them that much, so I'm surprised to see this being reported. Maybe they see him as one for the future too.

Loan extension being reported.

The loan terms might be interesting. Wonder who had the upper hand in negotiations?

Have we upped the future purchase price?
And negotiated a slightly higher loan fee?
Have we got them to agree to psy all of Ned's wages - important for PSR.

Another year in the Bundesliga could well up his resale value should we want to cash in next summer, or give him the chance to shoemaker that he's worth bring into the squad.

Hopefully a win-win for Villa.

I'm sorry, but that's cobblers.

Pardon?

SE looking for a shoeing.,.

Contract is laced with performance incentives.

KN never really impressed either, granted he didn't get all that many chances. He had a shocker of a cameo in the CL one night, was it ironically enough at RBL? Seems a bit odd as we scouted him for some time but Emery made up his mind very quickly. I'm not sure who benefits from another loan spell but definitely not us.

[SoccerHQ]

It was Brugge away. However a few months later Disasi was even worse there in the knock outs and that is experienced defender. We also had him omitted from prem squads but Bogarde really struggled at RB in the games he played.

If we'd had a Digne type putting in 7 or 8/10 most weeks I could understand it but we don't.

The only thing I can say is perhaps club thought he was going to Leipzig permanently but they missed out on CL and changed manager so want more time to assess and there is probably option for him to sign on a permanent in January.

[Drummond]

I suspect he went because he wouldn't toe the line and Emery didn't him want to stirrup more trouble.

Cash was a 6 or 7/10 most games last season too. Takes a lot of undeserved flack. Big error at Old Trafford aside, he was one of our best players in that late season charge. That was with Rogers often not offering all that much ahead of him too.

Think it was tongue in cheek
