Rich Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Is this not just rehashed old news btw? Romano reported €35M being rejected a week ago. I'd definitely be worried™ if we'd just kept bidding the same amount over and over in attempt to wear them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm not sure it is, our first bid was around £25m or €30m, the way it's being quoted in euro and then pounds is muddying the waters. I think a fee of £35m plus some add-ons get's this done. (€40m) seems to be the magic number for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and unfortunately that's the position we're in. We've clearly made him our top target so either pay what they want or move on, wasted enough time on it now.

Especially if we don’t address our midfield and the complete lack of protection it provides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, think some are losing sight of the fact there's not a lot of money around outside of the big boys in the Premier. Spanish and Italian clubs are coming down after throwing huge wages around previously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) If we can get Carlos in for the weekend I don't mind us continuing to negotiate for Botman longer. Striker is the obvious priority for Watford. Edited January 10, 2022 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m pretty confident if we are still in for him it’s because lille have indicated they are willing to sell and a deal remains close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are making things up mate. I don't think there are any rules, structures, limitations, it's about being sensible and not panicking or caving in to the demands of players who aren't worth what they are asking. If Trippier is on 100k, why in gods earth should we cave in to Dignes demands of 150k+? Especially if he's just fallen out with his current manager. Even if you have an oil well, you have to draw the line somewhere. There is a fine line between speculating to accumulate and just causing yourself problems further down the line. Imagine if we spent 25m on Digne (example) and gave him 150k a week and a week later, 2 other targets become available for half the price and half the wages. Ultimately, on Feb 1st we can judge these guys decision making, with the caveat that we need 1 more in before Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztoon Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Yeah , don't believe that for a second from hope. Imagine getting a chance to sign a World class player.. but worrying his wages will upset shelvey ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the fact that if he said the opposite, it probably wouldn't be the best negotiating tactic. Sometimes journalists are working with the club when they comment on stuff.
