So you didn’t watch the likes of Brentford and wolves then ?
It’s like folks are desperate for us to be in a relegation fight just to say I told you so
Thing is getting a player on the way up at £50m ?
That normally gets you an oven ready international so it’s a gamble and if he doesn’t make it to a £100m player and with the rumoured sell on clause it’s not a good deal
If they won’t budge we...
For £50m I think we be really sure they can, we can’t spunk money around like a City or Chelsea so if we spend that on a player then we have to be very confident said player can do what’s required.
At the end of the day he is still a prospect...
No, but if we can't agree a deal after three or four weeks we should simply move on and conclude our business elsewhere. Playing chicken with a critical position whilst we lose matches (to Leeds, Leeds ffs) seems like a silly thing to do.
The thing is if we consider a teams price to be unreasonable we need need to move on to our next target. We literally have people in the building who’s job is to identify targets.
If all of our targets’ prices are unreasonable that may say that...
Are you saying we should pay what clubs want for players even if it unreasonable ?
Didn’t we do this a few years ago and ended up with a couple of PSR charges ?
That’s a big if he turns out to be a worldie though it could just as easily go the other way.
£50m for a prospect still means we have to develop him into a £100m player, so unless he is Messi/Maradona love child then no
