Aston Villa Starlet Omari Kellyman to Chelsea? Lewis Dobbin | PSR Frustrations Over Youth Sales

[@nickdsilva4149]

Hi Frankie, really appreciated your comments about PSR and 'Hollywood' signings. You weren't being overly negative you, were just saying what we were all thinking. As you said thank god we got the appointment of Emery right if we hadn't we could have been having a real fire sale and possibly be a Championship team right now. Keep going with the show and UTV!

[@mattc7561]

We got it badly wrong for a period and are now having to deal with it. But we're doing so from a position of strength at least. It could have been a lot worse.

[@jimbo200]

You were not the only one in the Bosco Balavan Camp - just our luck to have to negotiate the PSR now! Great discussion and great points as usual. Good insight into the youth academy.

[@kevinjeenes]

Kellyman huge potential, but with diaby, bailey, illing jr, he'd struggle for game time, so £19m, is tremendous, pure profit, stuff psr.

[@allvillanofiller]

That’s true, Kevin. It was always going to be hard for Kellyman to find game time. Just a shame not to see him find his way at Villa. UTV!

[@kevinjeenes]

@@allvillanofiller yes unfortunate, love home grown talent,, it's just navigating psr....needs must

[@paul19vf21]

The lads got half a chance, no more. Yet we’ve got 1/5 of the Grish cash for him. No brainer

[@GorgeDawes]

He has excellent potential but we’d be daft to turn down that kind of money for him, particularly given the PSR situation.

[@britishmick]

One thing I can't get my head around is how does the valuation work when considering players in swap deals?, i.e could we tickle Juve in the right areas and get them to value the player higher than he's actually worth, subsequently helping our PSR offset?

[@allvillanofiller]

Omari Kellyman could be moving from Aston Villa to Chelsea for £19 million, according to reports. It is a frustrating side-effect of PSR that youth products are seen as assets to be sold. What do you think about it? #avfc #utv #astonvilla

[@NoelWard-h7r]

Great pod mate, i like your view on villa and present set up…mirrors my own thoughts

[@allvillanofiller]

Thanks Noel! Awesome to hear that. UTV!

[@simonforde9452]

Agree about Kellyman - he's looked a fantastic prospect. This whole money-laundering nonsense is ridiculous. I think I used to think some financial controls would be good, based on keeping the league competitive, but am beginning to change my mind. PS I think you misunderstood "anchoring". It is 70% of your turnover (less the permissible expenses) plus anchoring. If it were simply anchoring, that'd allow Villa to spend way above our turnover, to allow us to grow in the way Chelsea and Man City previously did. So, 5 times the lowest club's broadcasting income might be £515m turnover, but if our turnover is £210m, say, then we can only spend 70% or £145m (more or less).

[@allvillanofiller]

Good to hear from you, Simon! Gutted about Kellyman, but needs must I suppose. Think I understand what anchoring is about. It’s intriguing that it is seen as something that will benefit clubs like Villa. Hopefully we can increase the revenues enough to keep competing (although, of course, that likely hits fans in the pocket even further). It’s a very difficult debate, isn’t it. I have various thoughts on PSR & struggle to think of the best solution. UTV!

[@Lioness_UTV]

I do get the practical reasons why Kellyman has been sold to Chelsea but I am sad about it. I just felt that he has this natural talent, a spark about him and sadly right player, wrong time. And I agree about Duran, gutted about him going too as I enjoy how he plays and the edge he has about him. BUT we will see if he lowers his salary expectations if thats the only sticking point. I can't lie, if he has to go somewhere Chelsea wld be the most entertaining to observe from a distance 🍿 Speaking of, I love the Juve deal. Its a real deal where both sides get something get what they want. Even better is that we dodged one with Weston.

[@allvillanofiller]

Agree with all that! Think Kellyman has something for sure. As does Durán. I’m excited about the arrivals to Villa, particularly Maatsen. Intriguing summer ahead! UTV

[@JuventusJuve-mc1jl]

I'm sorry that you had to sell Douglas Luiz and such good young players for financial reasons. I hope you can build a strong team. I really like Maatsen.

[@allvillanofiller]

Thank you! I agree, Maatsen is a very talented player. I’m looking forward to seeing him at Aston Villa.

[@mattc7561]

I feel like Duran has burned his bridges. So not sure where that leaves everyone if he doesn't go to Chelsea.

[@jonnyhull7860]

Tielemanns replaces dougie hes not that important in my opinion

[@allvillanofiller]

Let’s hope! UTV!

[@kenm5992]

Duran Duran, if we keep him for 6 months or even a month, and he starts scoring goals.its a win-win, Kellyman, that's a shame , jaden philogene, I miss 😢

[@michellemaynard6808]

💜💙💜

[@allvillanofiller]

UTV!

[@jonnyhull7860]

Its a good deal for ,tommi oreily ,kayden young,rory wilson better in my opinion

[@dalian1993]

19m.for a young player thats probably never going to be a 1st team regular is good business. Trust the Professor. Its as simple as that.

[@Frank_Villa]

Podcasts on point Frankie since the early season prediction podcast shocker 🫶🏻💪🏻 keep up the good work matey

[@allvillanofiller]

Thanks Frank! Really appreciate that! Plenty more to come. UTV!

[@jonnyhull7860]

Balaban villas worst player remember him 😂😂😂

[@mattc7561]

£19m for Kellyman just feels too good to turn down. I do feel sad about it. But id have probably guessed £5-7m if you'd asked me last week as he's barely played any first team football anywhere.

[@ciaranwalshe_vocalist]

Ah man, gutted to be losing Kellyman. Cannot stand Dhuran’s attitude. Was really hoping he’d be the one to go. PSR is stifling the life out of the premier league. We should be able to celebrate our home grown players. My concern with the revised luis, iling jr, Barrenchea deal is that barrenchea’s value according to Transfermarkt is 7.5 m€, which is significantly less than Weston mckennie. We are making a bit loss here in current structure with the Luiz deal. They’ve got to offer more cash otherwise it doesn’t make sense for PSR. The book value of the Luiz deal as it stands sits at just under 50 million euros. Which is no where near enough for a player of his quality. Hopefully they can restructure the deal and get a decent return.

[@allvillanofiller]

Good to hear from you, Ciaran. I’m intrigued to see what the final book value for the Luiz deal with be. I have a feeling it’ll be closer to £55 million. Probably going to have to wait and see. Also gutted to lose Kellyman. PSR rules certainly need evolution as it can’t be a good thing to keep selling academy products. UTV

[@Stevie-V]

Frankie. your getting older mate, saying "when I was a lad things were different" It's what us older people say all the time. lol But we have to get used to the modern game and all its foibles! Good or Bad but the Villa will survive it all! UTV

[@allvillanofiller]

Haha, I can feel my age when I play football now 😂 UTV!

[@junior-v3h8o]

got no choice selling the kids , maybe swaris will challenge it in the courts ? something has to change its madness

[@allvillanofiller]

Yep, if we have rules encouraging sides to sell academy products that doesn’t sound too great. UTV!
