Seems like a token bid to me.
Silly bid, what’s the point of spending that much on a player of 29. Who frankly is as good as he’s going to get. I don’t mind bringing players who are 30 or older if it’s a bit like Jorginho where you don’t pay that much in transfer fee and they are there to add a bit of maturity to the squad. Ultimately given we are a club that’s never going to go berserk in the transfer market I wouldn’t want that kind of money spent on a player any older than 25.

Plus Villa aren’t going to sell. And why would they
