LFEE Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 14 minutes ago, joeyt said: How much do you reckon we could have got Billing in January for LFEE? Supply & demand & current contract value. I would think if they bought him for £15m a couple of seasons ago they’d be looking around £25m bearing in mind he’s on apparently £15-40kpw and it’s unclear if he’d of possibly only had 18month on his contract not to mention not many on here seem to rate him ? Bournemouth financial situation isn’t great and competition at that time for a midfield squad player happy to rotate and sit on bench would’ve been fairly low for those with more pull than us or could afford £25m. Let’s do the sums £25m. Offer £50kpw x 5 years. Total package £38m. If you offload Hendrick maybe go higher to £60kpw and still not much more than £40m. How much for the Lazio guy broken down? @joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Pretty sure Bournemouth are fine financially following their takeover which is why I think they'd have been reluctant to sell any of their players in January unless it was big money. Milinkovic Savic would obviously cost more because he's an immensely better player. Even the 5 mins video you watched of him could show that (despite him being slower than Billing apparently) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Probably would cost a bomb and not sure about him regarding his fitness as he recently tore his knee ligaments but I see Florian Wirtz is tearing it up again. Might not be realistic considering the price and depending on what other clubs are after him. He will no doubt be one of the worlds best players soon if he can stay fit. We are more likely going for a cheaper alternative to get more bodies in. Probably rightly so. We have been linked but it might be too ambitious.

joeyt Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I'm not sure what you're trying to prove other than some incredibly hypothetical basic maths to show Billing would be cheaper than Milinkovic Savic And not taking into account we'd probably have to upgrade on Billing if we want regular Champions League football which would be another huge outlay on top of the £40mil spent on Billing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve asked you twice how much you think MS would cost overall. You’ve not given an answer when asked twice. Third time lucky perhaps ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a bit less than what I think he would have gone for and his wages would be high. But I also think you've underestimated Billing's value and randomly thrown Hendrick in there But he's a better player than Billing so we probably wouldn't have to upgrade again in the summer or next winter for another big outlay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stands out anytime I’ve seen him(could be because he’s 6’4) but he’s been Bournemouth’s best player and will have plenty of admirers in the summer. Think we’d be in a good position to sign him. Have to respectfully disagree, he’s in a purple patch at the moment but his overall body of work is as a lower premier league player and we need to improve. We don’t need bodies for the sake of bodies, we need quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Firmino is not renewing his contract at L’pool because he wants more playtime. I can’t see us giving him more playtime as we already have Isak and Wilson. Also, what we want is more players like Botman, Bruno and Isak. Not top 4-6 rejects. They’ll probably rinse us for money for them as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I know a lot on here really rate Salisu but I've never really seen it with him. Always seems to have a big mistake in him and he's barely played since their new manager came in Also not sure we'll be looking for a left footed centre back. I would have thought Bella-Kotchap would be a better fit and profile if we were looking at Southampton centre backs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
