Think we got Barry in for around 8-10m lower than his release which his club wanted, so yeah negotiating smartly when we had Eva's much needing doing as we do is smart.
Caveat is on certain players if you try argue the toss too much over a fee...
"Do they still need a new addition there?"
What a strange question to ask after stating that we have tried, and failed, to sign a new right back on two separate occasions.
That's like sending back shoes that don't fit and deciding that you'll...
I am sure I read that McAtee was going to consider all his options. IF it was him, maybe he was doing the same introduction/sales pitch as we did with Delap.
If we can't sell the club to this lad then we can't sell it to anyone. The family connection to the club doesn't come greater than we have with him. His relative literally came up with a club motto that we still use today.
Sit him down give him...
Aye, agree that RM/CM and a backup lb or starter are way higher priorities right now.
People kinda forget that what fullback you want will kinda depend on what winger you have in front as well, until we sort out that right side spot i'd much...
Same and if honest i was a person who was pushing to get him just far to much money. Think is a solid player nothing special and i would have still wanted us to get out next summer and get a better rb. And as you said cant really have a 90k week...
I disagree, Just because a player is free doesn’t necessarily make them the right player or the cheaper option. Signing on fee, wages and agents fees likely to be way higher, so over the period of the contract may not be. It also then causes an...
Branthwaite literally played for 2 seasons and O'Brien had a career in Ligue 1 too. Not sure what constitutes 'many' games but im willing to say that those 2 have experience in abundance. Plus you use the wiser older heads to bring the younger...
Be a very good signing unless we tried playing him as a holding midfielder which he's actually not that good at. It's why in part he stank the gaff out at Juve. Luiz is pretty much a natural box to box mid.
Same as I think Alcaraz best position...
He was fine, I'm not saying he didn't do a good job, just that I'm not sure he was absolutely outstanding. He had a few iffy games truth be told, which is fine and understandable, but it seems to be ignored a bit because we decided we liked him...
