Scott Sinclair operates a very nice rickshaw service down there nowadaysCan we have a few people on stand-by to go pick him up from the station?

LOLI would actually love it if the media team did this, but did it as badly as possible by sticking random pictures of Archer's head over Ndiaye's and someone dubbing his name over Ndiaye's with a bad impression of Billy Sharp. Basically a video version of this:

Legend, build the statue.Flown back from America specifically to do this. Top blade.
Careful, It may be Bollocks pub talk ?!I never knew that.
Keeping it simple, for those catching up on the many additional pages today:
Villa will have made sure they have something in the deal to make it worth it for them too. We can't just have it all our own way, or they wouldn;t do the deal.If true, we're certainly being cautious.
Maybe overcautious? If he has a good season but we still go down, we'd probably double our money by selling him.

If he has a good enough season to justify doubling his transfer value and becoming a 40m player the likelihood is Sheffield would not be relegated. You only need to finish above Luton, Everton, and one other to stay in the PL. That doesn't sound impossible.If true, we're certainly being cautious.

Agreed it's a good 'problem' to have. I really don't see any downsides to this from our POV.Effectively yes, but from an FFP perspective, it is a permanent sale and hence this just highlights a loophole that is being abused by Villa with the assistance of Sheffield United. I expect there is very little money changing hands too. U will be paying 1m or 2m upfront and the balance if u get relegated and when we pay u 20m for Archer. It looks like a very clever financial agreement. Blades don't have to cough up cash now, you are protected against another Brewster situation and u get a good striker for the PL to help try and keep you up. Villa benefits by registering an 18m profit and Archer gets first team experience. The only risk to Sheffield United is if Archer turns to gold, gets and England call up and knocks in 20 goals. Then Villa will buy him back but it would still be 30m+ imo so the risk is you would 'only' make a profit of about 19m/15m on a player. A pretty high class problem imo
I think u got Villa at a good time and did some smart negotiations. Villa registering an 18m profit is nice for our FFP and Blades exploited that imo.Agreed it's a good 'problem' to have. I really don't see any downsides to this from our POV.
Hold on, are we not preparing to be disappointed still?Not heard anything more on archer but hopefully we pay the £18m
I think the FFP people will see this as a loophole and I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the rules to prevent clubs from doing this going forward. It is a cracking deal for a newly promoted club and allows the parent club to fudge their FFP numbers. A genuinely win win transfer. So hats off to whoever between Sheffield United and Villa came up with the idea.If this deal comes off its quite inventive and could be revolutionary for future deals, given the FFP situation for loads of clubs in the prem.
Hope Man City are taking note - McAtee and Doyle for a couple of Mil please.I think the FFP people will see this as a loophole and I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the rules to prevent clubs from doing this going forward.

I can't either but what is very unusual is that there doesn't appear to be downsides for Villa either. A very strange and creative transferAgreed it's a good 'problem' to have. I really don't see any downsides to this from our POV.
McAtee is a great player, if u could do a similar deal with City for him that would be huge for u guysHope Man City are taking note - McAtee and Doyle please for a couple of Mil please.
Or Archer joins Marc Bosman in the elite club of players who get a rule named after them. A rule which will probably be summed up as "clubs will no longer be allowed to 'do an Archer'"If this deal comes off its quite inventive and could be revolutionary for future deals, given the FFP situation for loads of clubs in the prem.
And I will remind you that the same criteria applyI'll remind you we had neither Hamer or Souza available against Palace either...
Give over You may not have heard owt but the rest of the fucking world have including David Ornstein and the entire english press.Not heard anything more on archer but hopefully we pay the £18m
I like that ideaOr Archer joins Marc Bosman in the elite club of players who get a rule named after them. A rule which will probably be summed up as "clubs will no longer be allowed to 'do an Archer'"
Not looking likely because we haven’t tried properly, wait till after the window is over that’s when I’d expect contract news to pick upSo if true and we go down, which lets face it, is the most likely option, we're in the same position again in 12 months time of needing a striker. Except this time we'll have another 3 out of contract (Jebbison, McBurnie & Osula), so we'll need 3 strikers - assuming they won't sign which isn't looking very likely at the moment.
We really are the masters of kicking the can down the road for another 12 months and putting ourselves in a weaker and weaker position.
I think your cover has been blown pal. SeeyaNot heard anything more on archer but hopefully we pay the £18m
Yep. Last summer we kicked the can so far down the road we ended up in the Premier League.So if true and we go down, which lets face it, is the most likely option, we're in the same position again in 12 months time of needing a striker. Except this time we'll have another 3 out of contract (Jebbison, McBurnie & Osula), so we'll need 3 strikers - assuming they won't sign which isn't looking very likely at the moment.
