The PL is littered with players who have come in to the league highly rated and just dont cut the mustard and eventually go back under the rock they came from while someone like Idrissa Gueye or Ashley Young have been playing in this league for a decade. Pl experience does & should count for something in recruitment.I'm sure I've heard from a few sources that Dyche is insisting on PL experience for the CM position. With our lack of funds, and that pathetic approach in mind, this deal was never going to happen.
We have loads of crap players with PL experience, so we obviously want another one!
Not sure on the PL experience thing but I do wonder whether if Iroegbunam is going pretty well it’s felt like another signing of similar age / profile / experience / cost is too much overlap.
I know people will yell PSR workaround but Tim is clearly a handy player and there’s no guarantee some lad from Reims would be any better.
Same, I was not being sarcastic either - some players I just fall totally with, Philogene being another even though Id never actually watched him!This is actually my genuine thoughts, not sarcastically
Not if it's Kalvin Phillips, or the man you mentioned above - Ashley Young. He has been a total liability in the majority of games.The PL is littered with players who have come in to the league highly rated and just dont cut the mustard and eventually go back under the rock they came from while someone like Idrissa Gueye or Ashley Young have been playing in this league for a decade.

Like everything there is a bit of give and take with this, but if we have so far brought in 3 players this summer with 0 PL and one in Iroegbunam with barely any. Would it not make sense to be looking at some experience in the PL?
Let's hope we do. Would be madness if we didn't. Particularly as a loan deal for Phillips would cost us more this year in wages and fees than the down-payment on Richardson, and almost as much as signing Richardson in total!!We could still match Fiorentina's offer
€10m plus 10% sell on seems a good deal for a youngster who has played a good deal of football but still under 21.
But why is it madness for us to not be matching it? He’s been linked to half a dozen other clubs, is it madness that no one else is matching or exceeding it? Or does the fact no one is doing so not indicate the level of the player?Let's hope we do. Would be madness if we didn't. Particularly as a loan deal for Phillips would cost us more this year in wages and fees than the down-payment on Richardson, and almost as much as signing Richardson in total!!
They can accept other offers too. But if this lad is all he’s cracked up to be it’s weird they’re accepting an offer that low, especially when there’s a potential bidding war. But if a strange one.
I would expect Phillips to be a loan with a fixed purchase option which I don't mind as long as the money goes towards a pacey winger. The money we were prepared to pay for Gnonto is still there you would hope.
