I disagree, I'd prefer him in the squad without any pressure to perform. A tad unfair, he'll surprise you.

Convict Colony Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Anyway back to O'reilly. Honestly i always fined it hard to gauge SPL players values, yes he has good returns up there but how do you grade that v say the premier league ? Virgil was obvious, vic was a destroyer but goals and assists up there is always hard to judge. We aren't the sort of club to take a risk but i guess if Russ wants him, he knows his quality from MK we just have to support, but doesn't sound like a deal is close at all, wonder if celtic will take 18M + add on's but i'd be loathe to go higher myself. For comparison Stuey Armstrong in one of his seasons got 15 goals and 7 assists, dont have a stat for losing the ball in the centre circle to compare though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, Patches O Houlihan said: The Ugly Inside have a post suggesting we must be loan favourites for Aaron Ramsdale. Newcastle have 5 goalies including a fit again Pope and an aging Dubravka + Arsenal wouldn't want to strengthen a direct rival. The is also a reasonably strong case that no other PL team is really in the market for a goalkeeper. Couple that with geographical proximity to his Bournemouth links and there might be something in the rumour. 🤞 Think we've been asked to pay about £75k of his wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Lavia £14m, Gavin Bazunu £12m, Shea Charles £12m, Ross Stewart £8m were all big risks. Bigger risks than Matt O'Rily at £20m would be in my opinion. Stuart Armstrong had 1 year left on his contract when we signed him for £7m. Matt O'Riley still has 3 years on his contract. I think we'd be spending at least £14m on a 26 year old Stuart Armstrong in todays market if he had 3 years left on his Celtic deal. Matt O'Riley is still only 23 years old so the fee doesn't seem outlandish to me. Edited July 25 by Disco Stu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdoh Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 We should be all over ramsdale. Don't know if he would come but if we can get him on loan then pay his wages, be worth every penny. 20 odd million on o'riley and a striker who can finish ( hard one I know but other clubs find them) and that's all we can ask for. Most promoted teams that do well keep main parts of the squad because you're on an up. Mood is better,everyone positive, just needs a couple of touches in key positions and we will be ok. Dibling looks class. Don't know why he didn't get a look in last season because the couple of cup games he played he stood out. Think he could be a suprise this season.

Dusic Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 We have already replaced KWP and clearly will need to balance the books a bit. Added to the fact it seems unlikely he will sign a new deal then the worst outcome for the club is that he stays and runs his contract down. There were reports of Brighton interest and their RB depth is poor so imagine thats a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 One of the complications of our relationship with KWP is that, despite outward appearances of him being happy here, the commonly quoted salary we pay him is £20k per week whereas the likes of Matt Target and some other full-backs at major EPL clubs get £100k. That must grate and give KWP a reason for wanting to leave as soon as he can. Pricing him out of a realistic move is unlikely to please him.
