Dalek2003 Posted 28 January, 2019 Share Posted 28 January, 2019 Yes but do we want to be offering a stupid amount for a player who has been decent at championship level. £8 million seems fair similar to what we paid for Armstrong. More than that we might as well utilize Gallagher whose goal scoring exploits where pretty much identical to Che's last season in the same team.

egg Posted 28 January, 2019 Share Posted 28 January, 2019 Is this just another bid for a player that is not for sale. The management then claim they were trying to do something. I know it's cynical but how many times have we seen it in previous windows slam shut with no decent incomings. What players have we bid for that aren't for sale? Seems an odd allegation. It's utter ****** to suggest that we can't sign players. We have a bloated squad cos we've signed too many!! Truth is a lot of them are sh1te, but this line that we can't or don't sign players is ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadesmith Posted 28 January, 2019 Share Posted 28 January, 2019 you know this is Che Adams and not Charlie Adams right? One is a 22 year old young striker playing for Birmingham, the other is a journeyman footballer playing for Stoke. Oh dear. I believe the word 'Whooooosh' is appropriate at this point!

Saint Scott Posted 28 January, 2019 Share Posted 28 January, 2019 For north of £15mil I'd rather we just went for JKA. Worked under hassenhuttl, natural finisher with skill and pace and likely to make us more money in the long run when inevitably solder to the scousers. Yes, he would be a record signing but I'd be happy with just him in this window. JKA, Redmond and Ings is a mouth watering prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be down to Wilson and/or Krueger. We might only have a certain amount that we can or want to spend and/or think the player is worth and are not prepared to go above that. 45 goals in 160 games in League One and the Championship does not make him a world beater and even his record this season does not make him in my view worth anything above £12 million at tops.

Pilchards Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 If Burnley was to get him then it would come down to offering the player more wages than we have. Although we both would of agreed a 35k salary and if a club feel they are losing out then they will offer more money to the player. This is the part where we will stay on a price and not shift. Reckon we have lost many other players like this in thew past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
