‘Amazing business’: Some Aston Villa fans react to transfer news coming from Crystal Palace

Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to react after Crystal Palace announced the signing of Michael Olise from Reading.

What’s the story?

Well, the Eagles may have just pulled off one of the signings of the summer, and it seems the Villa Park faithful are a bit jealous.

The 19-year-old is moving to south London for just £8m, after Patrick Vieira’s side activated his release clause.

It’s a simply fantastic signing. Olise scored seven goals and provided 12 assists in the Championship last season.

Only Emiliano Buendia set up more goals with 16 assists, although he has cost substantially more than Olise at £33m.

Why didn’t Aston Villa activate the clause?

An attack of Ollie Watkins, Jack Grealish, Buendia and Olise would’ve been absolutely outstanding, so why didn’t Dean Smith make it happen?

The Villans have great financial strength, so surely they could’ve easily afforded the £8m clause.

Aston Villa have also shown far more ambition than Crystal Palace in recent years, so their project is arguably more attractive.

Nevertheless, something at Crystal Palace attracted Olise, and the ink has now dried on the dotted line.

Let’s see what the Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been saying about Crystal Palace’s latest signing…
