Notts Forest manager has cleared it up, Lansbury will either stay or leave.

Newcastle will probably be linked later, they've been linked with most half decent players.

Makes it all the more amusing when you look at what we've spent and got promoted 3 times compared to their efforts in the same time.

So apparently Rotherham striker Dexter Blackstock is the man to speak too about negotiating a transfer for Lansbury..

Now there's a good name - Dexter Blackstock.

He could be a Hollywood actor, or a foreign correspondent for the BBC with that name.

40k plus seems the going rate.

If we want to stay in this league we will have to pay the right wages. I have no doubt that there will be players at 5 or 6 championship clubs on 40K p/w

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 12:39 pm

This is madness, Blackstock is not a registered agent. I believe that registered players are not allowed to be agents at the same time. But one thing I'm not sure about: is it compulsory that every player has to have an agent now? Can they not negotiate their own deals?

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 12:55 pm

They can negotiate their own deals, but they've either been duped into thinking agents are the best option or they're too daft to do it so agents are the best option.

Or they realise that their time is better spent concentrating on their performances on-the-pitch, so they're happy to pay someone else to look after the off-the-pitch distractions.

Haven't the top players always had someone looking after their interests like that? Either a family member, a lawyer or just a smarter mate? Isn't it the same in just about every other entertainment industry, or do we all think Tom Cruise, Adele et al thrash out their film deals/recording contracts personally with the head of Sony ?

Claret and blue bound maybe just glad it's not the same one that my heart pumps round

Now go run round Villa Parks soap opera Lansbury you will love it there could even freshen up from a stale loaf into a Mothers pride

I think the ship very definitely sailed in August 2015 when Fawaz pulled his stunt with Lansbury at the Turf ready to sign. We didn't go near them in the last two windows after that and I doubt we were one of the clubs interested this window.

Sky reporting to Villa on £40k per week!!!!!!!

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 2:34 pm

40k a week isn't mental money any more and I imagine we pay similar for some of our bigger named players.

Can you imagine the queue for the hair dryer with Lansbury, Hendrick and Boyd in the same dressing room.

Am I the only one who thinks 3 million is a steal in this day and age. We have Barton till the end of the season and then we need an upgrade on him (unless he gets another 12 months) and Marney in my opinion. This is a low fee for a player of his age.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 4:37 pm

40K week is not a steal and I'm not sure he's good enough for the Premier League.

£40k a week for someone who has played in a struggling championship team for most of his career is a big risk.

The fee is low because of him being out of contract shortly - and this also helps Villa offer a higher wage.

Dyche obviously thought he was good enough but I would be surprised if we were going to pay £40k a week - but maybe we were ?

Villa gonna be in big trouble if they don't go up in next couple of years

One day in the far and distant future, there will be nuclear armageddon.
As civilisation as we know it fades from existance, somewhere the last vestiges of power flicker, and briefly illuminate a screen.
No one is there to see it, but the words "Lansbury deal falls through" momentarily appear.
