joeyt Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 £6 million seems quite reasonable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Say that we've offered them £4m, fuckin hell, make a new offer around £5-5.5m! That's nothing in todays market, yes it might be a gamble, or one hell of a bargain! Overall it's quite à small investment that could pay off in big style god damnit!

Cajun Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I know loan is the safer option but I would prefer a permanent transfer for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Can't see this happening now. Canny annoyed we've missed out on Cleverly if this is the manner we are going about our acquisitions. Especially with Wiltshire staying at Gooners. I may be pleasantly surprised by Ashley but I doubt it somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It would seem a nailed on bet that he could be sold for at least double that 2 or 3 seasons hence, unless he broke a leg or something. Not that I'm advocating buying with a view to profit but if Ashley misses out here he is a mug imo. (A rich mug - and I'll never quite understand how he got rich in the first place.)

Minhosa Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I know loan is the safer option but I would prefer a permanent transfer for some reason. My preference would be a loan with an agreed fee at the end. That way we can 'try before we buy' in respect of both his ability and temperament and he'll also be a year closer to the end of his contract. I'd happily pay £1m now for the seasons loan with an agreed fee of £4.5m should we pursue. They get what they want, we get a chance of a player who we may be actually be able to afford right now.

Cronky Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The lad is clearly a toxic risk, despite his talent. I'd also have doubts about how well he'd settle in the city, as well as the club. If we're interested at all, a loan is far more sensible, because it could easily go belly-up even quicker than it did at his previous clubs. No other Premiership club seems interested at all, and there's not much demand for him anywhere else as far as I can see. OM seem desperate to see the back of him. I know it's natural to get excited about this sort of flair player, but a lot of people on here don't seem to be paying enough attention to all that.
