Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Had a similar season to this last season by all accounts. Who knows? Different players mature at different times. Aye, maybe. Just not convinced throwing 1/5 of our (reported) transfer budget at him is good risk to take. There are far better options out there in that position for a similar (or lower) fee.

STM Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 We should look for anything coming from Caulkin or the Chronicle these days. Since Rafa has come in, they seem to get first dibs on stories. I wouldn't be surprised if we signed/agreed with someone in early June. Rafa will want to make a quick start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Wouldn't make sense for Bournemouth to sell king who has just had his best season with them to a club like us who will be contesting at about their level? They wanted 20m for their other forward who hes now ahead of. I doubt they'll sell tbh, although wouldn't surprise me at all if Rafa wants him. He looks to have something about him.

Parsley Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Cairney would be competition for Shelvey if he signed. I highly doubt that Rafa would risk them both in the same midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Rafa buying a player who isn't a player we already know is quality is fine by me. I trust him to get the very best out of him and turn them into a player we come to realise is quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Cairney would be competition for Shelvey if he signed. I highly doubt that Rafa would risk them both in the same midfield. Hardly seen the bloke play but we need competition for Shelvey, team falls apart without him and it's not wise having such a big drop off in quality for such a key position.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Not really down for listing all the players in world football that I think are 'decent', tbh. then suggest a level of player you'd like to see us linked with realistically, as your post implies you think the ones we've been linked with aren't decent enough EDIT: or don't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ashleynomics comes into play, so if the reported 38m release clause was actually 3.8m I'd be inclined to believe it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
