itchen_dan Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 I think if we were to go in with a bid around £5m-£6m, I think he'll be on his way here for talks. Some reports saying they want around £8m but it just seems a bit steep IMO. As with all our transfers, if we want the player, we'll put every bit of effort into getting them.

EBS1980 Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 I'd always expect the first bid to be rejected. If you were buying a player and they accept your first offer, to me i'd be thinking, ah maybe we should have offered less. First bid go in lower than what you are prepared to pay and test the water..

The club wants at least 10 million euros for the striker received. Last week Southampton are reported with a bid of 6 million. PSV have that bid off the table and would only talk about sales at the time that a two-digit miljoenenbod on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if we've bid 6m and they want 10m then 8m would probably do it. None of which means we'll get him but it's encouraging nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with our dealings so far, all young players (Davis isn't that old either tbf) and all with the ability to improve and get better...and another way to look at it, their price will only rise. Give it a few years and I reckon we could provide a fair few England internationals, just as Villa did a few years back. Lallana, Cork, Rodriguez, Clyne - all have the ability IMO.

Ex Lion Tamer Posted 21 July, 2012 Share Posted 21 July, 2012 I thought it might be useful to compare Lens' videos with the video of another hyped player from Holland, but who went on to fail in the Premier League: "Ryan Babel Liverpool's New Signing" To me Lens looks much quicker with his skills so I'm quite optimistic that he could cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 21 July, 2012 Share Posted 21 July, 2012 Apparently it was 6million euros plus De Ridder. If we improved our offer to 5m euros they are prepared to sell. Just back from Belgium with a few Euros left over - happy to throw them in if it swings it. Lens looks like the replacement for Oxo that we hoped SDR would be but wasn't so hoping the club get their man this time. Now, how about those 2 CBs, and what about the LB spot now that the Buttner deal is off, and despite Paulo G as GK understudy, there's still the new GK place to fill. Keep busy chaps.

Hoppysaint Posted 21 July, 2012 Share Posted 21 July, 2012 There were rumours of Jarvis earlier, that seems to have gone quiet but I think he would be a risk free choice, can play on both flanks and is a proven Premier player. Plus he's English and young still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
