Ronaldo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Imagine if that's true, man. And let's be honest, it probably is. Struggling to find £12m as a Premier League club in 2017 after a decade of spending absolutely nowt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So that's our spending done then? It quite clearly means we're struggling to agree that he's worth 12M and nothing to do with how much cash we have to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our targets to start in central midfield aren't worth us paying £12m for they probably shouldn't be targets. It's a nothing amount for a player in his prime with significant PL experience.

I totally agree. Remains to be seen if we're really interested or if it's just paper/agent talk. Pretty sure we can afford 12M if we want him. We might be haggling because of his injury record, but not because we can't scrape together the money to pay for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Of course we have the funds man, we spent nowt in January! I'd rather us steer clear of sicknotes, despite how much talent they flash when fit. I think we're gonna make a couple of big splashes soon.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to find £12m as a Premier League club in 2017 after a decade of spending absolutely nowt Especially when crystal place are spending 32m on a player Leicester 28m and Bournemouth 20m It's a fucking disgrace Make no bones about it if we don't get some quality in specific areas we will be a championship club again 12 months from now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If we'd been quoted 15m for Delph, we would pay 12. We spend so much time bargain hunting that we miss out on players. I doubt we hold much interest in Delph mind, alot of tenuous links knocking about IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky he's a left back and not a left winger. He's primary duty is to defend and at that he is very decent. Rafa will have us defending first, that's why he's getting a new contract.

STM Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'd certainly like us to sign an attacking option from left back but we probably need a better left sided midfielder anyway. Plenty of work for them to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting Roberto Carlos or Ashley Cole. Someone who doesn't s*** themselves when in possession, can at least offer an overlap and deliver a decent cross. To not have that in the Premier League is shocking and we'll be found out badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
