Lovely stuff

I think in this market that’s a perfectly fine fee.

We got 150 mil to spend minus the 40 on Dibling still 110 mil

Spent 50 sold the women for 60

No saying that money is available for transfers. Might be going on something else

But he's a 27 year old CM.

Different market completely

Yes but the question was asked who would be the finished article for 45m that would instantly improve us?

I feel like we'd all benefit if everybody stayed calm.

@chicoazul The voice of reason is needed here buddy, can you pacify this thread please

The way a handful of mega rich clubs have spent this summer, led by Socialist FC, has distorted the market and inflated fees for mid range players. Teams who hold the contracts for19 year olds with potential like Dibling and Fofana believe they can look for £40-50m in this market and it seems they are right.

Assuming we find agreement on the price and deal structure for Dibling and KDH I think that leaves us spreading ~£20-30m over RB, another CM and at least one (ideally two) more attackers in fees/loan fees/signing-on fees (for players on frees). Easy to see how another wages only loan for Harrison might become ‘attractive’ to us late window.

Nah they'd want the same fee regardless of the other clubs over spending. Its natural to want top dollar for young players who without getting a serious injury will be playing at the top level for 10 years plus

Everyone: sign some players Everton ffs!

Everton make bids for several players.

Everyone: No, not those players, they cost too much!

[Efcjake]

If they want him let's just give them 50 and call it a day so we can start preparing the announcement video

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Excellent fee!

£25 mill, plus a few add ons. Happy with that. Lad is a decent player.

Looks like we definitely dropped down a tier with our targets, but improve this year and attract slightly better next year was always the likely path.
