I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was ICE Bucks, only redeemable on mandatory equipment you need to lease from ICE.

Interesting also that the player is included in the exchange instead of being sold in a separate deal like with dougie and juve

Obvious question...why? Just a rest for him, or some transfer brewing?

We really have to start asking questions about recruitment, specifically players coming in that Unai doesn't seem to like and who get kicked to the curb very quickly - Malen, Elliott, Davy, Kosta, Moreno etc.
Maybe it's all on Monchi? Or just amortising fees to juggle PSR requirements?

If Unai doesn't give another striker sufficient playing time as a number nine then they'll all want to move on. Happened with Duran, now Malen, nobody that's top six quality will want to come to villa and get 25 minutes a game.
Maybe that's why we're looking at Abraham?

As always these days, hard to get excited until we see him on the pitch given how many players have come in with the hype only to go out on loan indefinitely.

I remember thinking 'why? We already have Matt Targett'. Kind of like with Martinez, 'why? We already have Tom Heaton'. See also Pau/Mings.
I've since learned I know very little, and to just go with it

How would a trade work exactly? Would they need to wait until the new league year in March, and so miss out on the HC recruiting period in Jan?

I mean, it's not all one guy but my goodness that's a precipitous drop off after Brissett is benched.

Also that the inverse is much better - teams like the bears and 49ers having a low defensive score but high offensive score and end up in the playoffs

Just for the giggles - a Tua for Watson trade wouldn't work financially, right?
