Batman Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 What was the last line on promes? Remember something about Moscow not being able to get a replacement in due to the bid from us being at the end of the window (shocker) and that we will be back in the summer???

SKD Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 Would like us to test the water with Mitrovic. He probably offers a bit more than Austin all round. Hopefully Tadic/Targett can put in a good word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 Sisto would be better than Promes, IMO. However I think we could easily accommodate both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 14 May, 2018 Share Posted 14 May, 2018 Sisto has nothing like the goal record of Promes although the Russian league is hard to judge. Don't see us paying £30m for anyone though and thats what Promes would likely cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartman Posted 15 May, 2018 Share Posted 15 May, 2018 OF course it is relevant How? All it means is if we want to sign him he won't cost more than £36m. That is quite a bit more than what he would really cost and what we would be willing to pay. The headline says "Sofiane Boufal talks up France return following Mark Hughes row as Southampton target £36m Celta Vigo winger Pione Sisto". The press in this country stupidly treat release clauses as if they were price tags, by the same logic our players are worth £∞. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if VvD has a £36m release clause, there would not have been a sneaky Blackpool hotel meeting and he would have been transferred to Liverpool before he went on holiday last summer. So, of course a release clause is relevant if Celta (or whoever) resist selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 15 May, 2018 Share Posted 15 May, 2018 £36 million is a lot for us (it also might be Euros so actually less) but the in the grand scheme of things and today;s transfer market it's not actually that much for most PL clubs. We'd be over paying for him probably but it basically means if we really want him and the player wants to come then Celta Vigo can't charge a really high fee.

Even in today's market 36 mill is ridiculous The figure in the release clause is usually the figure that will guarantee you the purchase. The only way we would have to go above it is if more than one club are prepared to pay the release figure. In most cases, we can offer (well) below that figure and ask them to consider it.

That is simply not true. If multiple clubs offer the release clause then they will all be automatically accepted regardless of what Celta Vigo want to do, it is then for the player to pick.

If he has a clause of £36m that is the maximum any club will pay for him (no matter how many are interested). As soon as a club activates that clause, by offering £36m, he is free to discuss terms with said club(s). You are right in that £36m isn’t what we will have to pay as they could accept £20m for arguements sake. Essentially if we bid £36m, it’ll take it out of their hands and it’ll be down to the player.

cf saint Posted 16 May, 2018 Share Posted 16 May, 2018 The others who stand out in the Sporting squad are Gelson Martins and Carvalho. Carvalho has been talked about as coming to the premier league for years but was closest to joining West Ham so not sure he is for us. Other than Martins most of the rest are older than the profile we us sign especially after Ralph’s reaffirming that we aim to offer players a pathway.

mrfahaji Posted 16 May, 2018 Share Posted 16 May, 2018 He's complete garbage, based on the two playoff semi-finals. He's certainly one dimensional, and Villa sought to nullify him by sticking 2 or 3 players on him. Add to that the Villa defenders are quite an experienced bunch. Perhaps Boro should have tried to exploit gaps elsewhere on the field, but they didn't, kept trying the same tactics. By all accounts Pulis has transformed Traore since his arrival. He's not garbage any more, but perhaps still not a Premier League level player. The thing is, although he is one dimensional, that weapon he has - his pace - is ridiculous. He makes Shane Long look like JWP (Ok maybe that's going too far). As we know from Shane, bucketloads of speed isn't great on its own, but it can be useful at times, and if you manage to put some football ability into the mix as well, it's lethal.
