(always an easy ice breaker) Candidate: Yeah mate, big Villa fan. Who do you support? ME: Bristol City. Candidate: Your Manager hates us. ME: Our Manager hates everybody apart from us. Candidate: We're signing a bloke from you called Webster. ME: I doubt it, the figure quoted is about half of his worth. Candidate: We'll get him for £12M, you can't stop him joining a properly big club! ME: Fair to say, said Villan didn't get the job! I’d hazard a guess that he was aware of the decision before his head was removed from his arse, seeing how all Villa fans seem to wonder around with their heads stuck up there with their mightier than though opinion of their shambles of a club?!?

Wanderingred Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Back on topic, losing Webster would be an utter disaster. With Kelly gone, and Kalas and Da Silva not certain to sign, that would be a whole back four that would need replacing.. and we'd have finished a HELL of a lot lower than 8th without those players.

Wanderingred Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 We cannot let Webster go for any sum of money. I know we are a club that relies on selling our best players, but this would be absolutely suicidal. He's so vital to our hopes next season.

Due to last seasons performances, his age the fact he was the best defender in the championship, Ipswich’s sell on clauses, it would take a club record bid (more the Kelly’s after the add ons have been accounted for) going on transfer fees we’ve been taking in and Ashton’s ability to get the best deal, im thinking 20 million plus 20 minutes ago, Wanderingred said: We cannot let Webster go for any sum of money.

Southport Red Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 So, back to Webster, LJ has pretty well launched at the £12M non story, so I guess we can all relax. 5 minutes ago, Robbored said: You must be new to otib if you expect threads to stay on topic.

Southport Red Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 SO. LJ has said the £12M valuation is ridiculous and we do not HAVE to sell anyone.

Davefevs Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I really don’t think the stuff in the media has much basis. Should we have really had an official enquiry of £12m (which I doubt actually happened), MA would’ve told them in no uncertain terms to go away. Webster’s agent will know the kind of figure we would start talking at....and I suspect that if his agent has touted that back to “interested” clubs, they’ll have gone, “tell you what we’ll look at Clarke or elsewhere”. happy to eat my hat on this (although it is made out of rice paper”), but I don’t think LJ was saying what he did to frighten potential suitors off, it was being said from a position of strength and confidence that Webster will not be going anywhere, because they’ve valued him out of the reach of those clubs likely to be interested, or those that could spend £20+, either a) won’t want to spend that on a Prem-unknown b) will see value elsewhere c) won’t want to use that slug of their budget on him.

Lrrr Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 We're never really a club who won't sell a player we'll always sell if our valuation is matched, and we'll just have a very high valuation where we think a club is paying over the odds to get him and we come off very well.

Just to play devils advocate - we said the similar with Kodjia and we wouldn’t sell to a championship rival... I can’t see his head being turned this summer, depending on how our season is looking maybe in Jan or next window if we fail to get promotion it will but right now I think he will want to build on last year.
