STM Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It will happen. Just the usual haggling from us. It's already gone from 16 to 12m and the lad obviously wants to join. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Is 'prepared to' and we are 'monitoring' his preparedness. Just do it. most other cloobs would have this done now- and be spending time on the next deal. this is our problem, we fuck about too much on each deal slowing eveything further on, down. Rafa will get sick of the shit imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 £12m is reasonable. Just get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It will happen. Just the usual haggling from us. It's already gone from 16 to 12m and the lad obviously wants to join. That's the reason it will happen tbh. If he was like most players and happy to move to the highest bidder he'd probably end up somewhere else while we fucked around haggling for the cheapest deal possible.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Shepherd assumed the same with Carrick and look what happened there. We still have to pay the relevant fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Shepherd assumed the same with Carrick and look what happened there. We still have to pay the relevant fee. Or if we are worried about overpaying £2-3m we could always pay the £20-30m that other premiership clubs are paying for proven players. I won't be unrealistic and expect us to compete with the top clubs who are paying £50-90million for players this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not a chance we'll pay £16m for him though, we literally reckon he's worth half that. Which isn't a good start. We'll get him, but can see this taking ages to sort out. Think of the wages saved though. This. Probably £10m with possible £2m add ons if they agree we don't have to pay his wages until Sep 1st https://twitter.com/caulkinthetimes/status/885818359283146753 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Lad wants to join, Norwich have lowered their asking price. Absolutely no confidence in Charnley getting this done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Lad wants to join, Norwich have lowered their asking price. Absolutely no confidence in Charnley getting this done.

Dokko Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Lad wants to join, Norwich have lowered their asking price. Absolutely no confidence in Charnley getting this done.

LRD Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 More than reasonable fee in today's climate and in a position we desperately need. Watch us screw this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not clear whether Caulkin's tweet means £10m is Norwich's asking price or it's what we're offering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not clear whether Caulkin's tweet means £10m is Norwich's asking price or it's what we're offering. I'd guess that's our offer, as reports earlier in the week suggested our 'take it or leave it' offer was £10m. Adding potential future top ups means if he does well, we (hopefully) do well, and the top ups are deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Looks like old Mendes may have arranged Oliveira off to Wolves. Would potentially make them less likely to sell another player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFlat Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Signed by early next week then. There's quite obviously other factors at play here, slowing things down, than an incompetent Charnley. He managed about six hundred deals last summer, so he can certainly move quickly when he's allowed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Maybe he can get deals done for lesser amounts of money. Should think he's probably pretty intimidated by signing off on transfers in excess of £10,000,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
