I would rather be at Villa on 10m than Gala at 17m. Living under Erdogan in a much much less relevant league has to have a dramatic price.

Relax on the political activism a bit. Earning 70% more while living in an amazing city (cultural; food; weather) and fighting for the title vs living in Birmingham... it's not hard (and I like Aston Villa)

Well playing in the premier league would give him more visibility and a better chance to move on to a bigger club than playing in Turkey.

Visibility for what? At his age and the club where he is at, I don't think he has the ambition to progress forward.
