Madueke went to Arsenal.
Fofana is waiting for a top 4 side.
Etc etc
Were on Dibling, he wants to come.
We either pay the money or go down the list to another club who now know were willing to spend £40mil+
Another Madueke type could be...
Every other top young winger either:
A: Wants to wait on top 4
B: Is already at top 4
C: Is untested
At this point you either pay the money OR sign an average player.
Weve done this with KDH.
2 players better and further on in development have just gone to 2 of the biggest clubs in the world for less than £60 million……
So yes, £100 million is a bit daft.
And no such thing as a sure bet in football
And we have just signed 2 like that, Alcaraz and the young left back.
Will never understand the need for our fans to moan all the time about everything.
Such an arrogant attitude that….we all fumed when United and united fans spoke like this about their bids for Branthwaite.
He is their player….thats the price…pay it or dont, its their asset
Why cant they be worth similar???
Its also similar to what to got for Gordon….
This lad has massive massive potential, and that fee is not even that big in todays market.
Its the exact type we should be going for
Missed the point.
If Southampton want £50 mill, thats the price they want for their asset….
Just like us wanting stupid money for ours.
Cant moan about 1 club wanting big money then do the same ourselves.
Footy maths seems to say otherwise to be fair mate. £55m gets you Elanga, Kudus or Gittens these days, it seems.
£45m, therefore, for an exciting, young, English winger with the almighty PL experience is probably about right. Mad, though it sounds.
