RTE reporting that Aston Villa and The Rangers have agreed terms on the transfer of Slippy G (and Villa fans had better hope McAlister et al as well).
I think this has potential to being a leg up for them :-( - certainly financially after yet another disastrous financial season where yet again they've had season losses over 20M, and were having 8 figure losses long before and up to Covid too.
EPL clubs have HUGE money to throw at anything so it's likely Gerrard et al will go to Villa and a high 7 or even 8 figure sum will go, and there are likely to be further signings from The Rangers down to the bloated moneyball league which alas means that mob will have much more money to buy better value players come January.
As Ange says we can only control what goes on in our own club but fingers crossed our board won't stand idly by in the January window.
Timing of the transfer, which presumably will go ahead, is interesting. He'll be in place a month or so before the window opens so he'll see first hand what needs to be done at Villa and who he needs to bring down from Scotland.
