I don't like it either, don't get me wrong

Villa would be a disappointment of a destination for him given the other potential destinations, but if he sees it as a step up, there's very little we can do.

And in regards to whether it is indeed a step up: in money terms, it certainly is.

The core of our model is that we give young players a chance and a platform. If we start holding them here against their will, there will be a level of mistrust for future Emi's, meaning they won't come here in the first place.
