Guest neesy111 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Don't what to believe over our transfers in all honesty. Charnley will be treble time in July hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight difference... It was discussed in here that it was £15m max per player. What I'm repeating is that is £15m no questions asked but any higher then it has to be run passed MA for him to ok it.

Yorkie Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 See that clearly is just scaremongering. What he's saying is obvious. Doesn't take a genius to figure out Rafa will be pissed off if we don't start getting bodies in before/during early pre-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Its quite normal for a manager to have to imform the owner and run it by him when hes about to break the clubs transfer record fee It would happen at pretty much every club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Rafs is obviously just being a bed wetter for not being happy about no singings in June. He should know fine well that it is all about July. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when your previous record fee is basically the average going price for decent players these days? Sure, at Madrid or Man U or PSG or someone splashing out 50m+ the bosses get involved. 15m though? What is there to discuss? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP mentioned specifically "running it by him", which implies getting consent, and not just "kept informed of". Either way, I was more getting at the fact that breaking our (rather small) record transfer fee means very little in an era of inflated player valuations and shouldn't be the baseline for "need to talk to the owner to get approval" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
