St1pe Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 +1 for I can’t believe we’re not in for Bobb at that price. Given it seems one of our main wingers could be moved on in the summer. Also we’ve shown interest in him before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Bobb for £35m seems way too good for only Fulham to want it. Unless there’s more that makes the deal unpalatable. He’s exactly the technical type of midfielder/wide player that would take us up a level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 A lot of these City players are overhyped - people wanted McAtee here and he's done nothing at Forest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Funny some people think it’s cheap some think it’s too much. I guess it’s a fair fee. Bobb hasn’t shown much in a couple years. So for me it’s steep. Palmer had at least been good whenever he played. I would be on Nwaneri on loan with an option to buy. Even if it was a fancy buy back deal. Option for £30m buyback for £60m.

Bobb won’t be first choice at Fulham, so not sure he will get serious games he needs at his age. Bit of a strange move, but when it’s priced at that, his quite limited in his options. Can’t see him progressing unfortunately. Man City got value, like many of their youth sales, but if they kept hold of many they would be no worse off IMO. They sell them, and spend loads on average players to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 MLS will be someone who leaves Arsenal next summer. Not good enough for LB, but he’s a very interesting profile for a CM. Would need training more in that role, but think he would be a seriously good pick up if someone was ready to spend 12-24 months moulding him into that role.

If he is available on a loan with option to buy in the summer we'd be stupid not to throw our hat in the ring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like you've seen Real Madrid do it and assume everyone else should Nwaneri is a highly regarded talent and Arsenal won't sell him - at least not for a sensible price. So rather than pay over the odds now, we can get him for a fair fee and can cash in on developing him if he's good. We don't seem interested in paying a premium on potential as we did for Hall. We spent £33m on a 19-yo left back with 12 first-team appearances, think Nwaneri with no buyback would cost £45m+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
