Stefan Borson debunks Alejandro Garnacho 'conspiracy' at Aston Villa already
Stefan Borson has looked to put to bed Aston Villa and Nicolas Jackson rumours finally.
The Villans have suddenly become one of the most active Premier League sides in this transfer window.
Despite a quiet start to the summer, the Villans have sprung into life out of nowhere.
Johan Manzambi and Joao Gomes have already come in as Unai Emery looks to replace Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans.
The Spaniard clearly isn't done and has now moved to bring in Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea.
That has sparked a stir away from Villa Park, with Borson now stepping in to end any ill-informed discussion.
Stefan Borson shuts down Alex Crook's Aston Villa complaints
Villa and Chelsea have come under the microscope for a while.
When Omari Kellyman moved to Stamford Bridge and Ian Maatsen moved to B6, there were frustrations voiced.
That has only been echoed as Rogers and Garnacho swapped places this week, despite one being for £117million and another being on loan.
Alex Crook has voiced his annoyance towards exactly that on talkSPORT in what Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony described as "The Morgan Rogers Conspiracy".
Speaking on Thursday, the journalist said: "I want to get into this Aston Villa, Chelsea situation. When they paid £117m for Morgan Rogers, I always felt that there would be at least one, if not two, Chelsea players heading in the opposite direction.
"That has come to fruition with Alejandro Garnacho undergoing his medical in Argentina yesterday. There's a good chance they sign Nicolas Jackson as well. Is this a sort of arrangement of convenience between the two clubs?"
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Crook had done his research as finance expert Borson quickly corrected him.
He replied: "I don't think so, actually. Particularly on Garnacho, it's a loan and we know that Villa have taken a number of players on loan with conditions and have not brought those players, so they've ended up paying relatively small loan fees.
"I wouldn't read too much into it. There's no profit on Garnacho either way. Generally, it doesn't really work to settle their issue with UEFA.
"If they did a permanent deal for Jackson, because they can't do a loan deal now, the rules have changed that if you trade a player within 45 days, it's deemed to be a player exchange and that would cause both Villa and Chelsea issues. I think it's pretty unlikely that they choose to do that."
Why can Aston Villa no longer sign Nicolas Jackson?
Crook may have some sort of hunch that Jackson will move to B6, but it is extremely unlikely.
A loan deal is no longer possible after the addition of Garnacho as no club can temporarily sign two players from the same side.
That means that a permanent deal would be the only route for the Senegal international this summer.
A road block is also in place for that deal due to Rogers' mega-money move to Stamford Bridge.
UEFA rules dictate that transfers count as "a player exchange transaction" or when players move between two clubs within 45 days of each other.
So, a move for Jackson to Villa park would halt the Villans booking the full £117m from their sale, which in itself makes no sense.
That has been covered by Borson and has extinguished the frustrations of Crook with ease.
Aston Villa fans can simply laugh away the continued comments against the club, as they look forward to another year of Emery ball.
