Faz Posted 21 June, 2019 Share Posted 21 June, 2019 Who have Everton gazumped us on? They definitively wasted a lot more money on Walcott than we proposed doing (allegedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 21 June, 2019 Share Posted 21 June, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if Palace make a late bid if they sell Wan Bissaka for £50m+. They're after a striker He can’t be worth £50m, a year ago he was being kept out of the team by Daryl Janmaat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to get deals done early, we may need to pay a bit of a premium to do that. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevy777_x Posted 22 June, 2019 Share Posted 22 June, 2019 Just get him in please. People need to have some perspective here. Why should we cough up and get him in at whatever cost. I vastly prefer to be hard at bargaining and not go over our valuation especially when we have a tight budget. There are plenty of other players out there equally as good and with potential. Likewise, if we want to get rid of players why should we accept whatever low offer that comes in just to get him off the wage bill. If it means we have to wait a little longer then so be it.

If they're in that much financial shyte (and having had Harry Redknapp as manager they most likely are screwed) then turning down £14 million would be madness and surely people they owe money to will be pressuring them to sell their assets as they already have with Jota. And if this falls through, I hope they go into admin and get deducted 10 points. There, I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked NC how he wouldn't let agents do this and perhaps the club should put a cut off and walk away, if this is indeed the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 22 June, 2019 Share Posted 22 June, 2019 This sounds like code for we're not going to be mugged off, but we'll make a final offer that'll make them think. Might just be me but I'm still fairly confident we'll get this one sorted. If not, there are other strikers. Do like the idea of signing young English players, but can't fault Birmingham wanting big money, considering Brentford want £20m for Maupay at a similar age and goal tally.

If he wants to come to Saints it gives us an advantage of course, but we will still need to make an acceptable offer. We have no idea what their asking price is and therefore whether our £14m is likely to be acceptable. They know that as the window gets closer to closing then teams will get desperate. Little incentive for them to cave now just because Hasenhuttl wants signings in early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 22 June, 2019 Share Posted 22 June, 2019 I reckon we could have signed Elyounoussi 3 weeks earlier if we'd offered him an extra £20kpw and Basel an extra £2m. Infact if we'd chucked an extra £2m at every transfer to, "just get it done!!" last summer, we'd be £10m worse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 23 June, 2019 Share Posted 23 June, 2019 14m is nothing in todays terms. From what I've seen of him, he'd be a real asset to us - we should just get it over the line instead of p1ssing about. Which we probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs in Europe can’t afford to pay those lind of fees. We have a limited budget our club record signing is 19m. Let the big clubs live in their lala land of overinflated fees. We have tight budget and I am glad we are sticking to it. Probably a year too late though as we completely washed away the Van Dijk money by completely overpaying for average players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
