Transfer Rumour Maximillian James Aarons

[Bruce Wayne]

All this talk of big fees surely discounts the fact that because of Covid clubs generally don't have a pot to pee in? The January window saw very little activity, and I can't see huge fees being thrown about in the summer, especially for relatively unproven youngsters.

I take your point about fees, but he’s not unproven though.

He is going to be a top top talent who already has a full season of PL games under his belt and two? Full seasons in the Championship.

He is really talented and headed for the top. He will be worth th3 fee.

He's unproven in the sense that spending 10% or more of our turnover on a young right back would be something of a gamble.

Maybe watch a full match not just highlights to scout a player then.

I wasn't scouting so no worries there

 

[TheBigIguana]

Thankfully the scouting set-up probably does a bit more work than this.

You don't watch the game when scouting a player. You watch the player. That's why they still go to the ground rather than just settle on the couch with the highlights and a Youtube compilation.

Playing poorly in the PL does not prove that he will be good in the PL

 

[TrixyStevens]

He looks a prospect but at the cost of 10% of the club’s turnover... I don’t think the club will be looking to spend that amount on one player.

You didn't know how Godfrey performed in the PL last season so how can you say this kid played poorly?

I'm not talking about Godfrey

 

[Nymzee]

I'm not talking about Godfrey

But you've previously shown you hadn't watched Godfrey last season so how can you have seen Aarons to know he was poor without seeing the guy stood next to him every game.

No you don't understand, I'm not talking about Godfrey

Yeh and neither am I...

I'm asking you how you can say Aarons was poor in the PL last season when you've shown you didn't watch Norwich.

I did watch Norwich

 

[catcherintherye]

Any players you'd prefer?

To be honest I'm not sure. There's a lad at Napoli (Husaj) who's contract is running down, who would probably be available for a lot less than 35m and is probably a more advanced all round right back.

I do think prices will drop this summer, but you will need to isolate the right sectors. Players of the right age, cliubs under financial pressure, players with ideally 12- if not 24 months on a contract. I think there will still be some bargains to be had.

I think we can make 60m stretch, but tying 30 up in Aarons I'm not sure about. I'm also not convicned Norwich will have much reason to reduce the fee.

Like take Sarr for example, if Watford don't come up, he will be going. You may be able to pick him up for 15-20m which would seem a great price to me (appreciate he's not a right back, but the point stands).
