midds Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'd continue to reject every bid if I were them, the price is only going one way and the longer they string it out the more they'll get. They know it, we know it. The only way this situation is resolved is if we ask them to name a silly price then match it or he hands in a transfer request, and even then they could dig their heels in and turn down the bid. They're under no obligation to say yes because it benefits us, they hold all of the cards, we just need to decide how much we want him and either pay it or walk away but it can't go on for another week.

I get the impression they're more than happy to keep him and under no pressure to sell him? Plus if there's always the chance another club gets involved to keep the price (if they choose to cash in) heading North. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s the point of finding the sweet spot for both of us, I don’t get the impression they’re as resistant as Lille (could be wrong) but feels like at 28, could be a deal to be done, it’s a lot of cash being offered.

Gazzaschicken Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Surely it's easy he's on 40k just offer him 90k and get him to hand in a transfer request. That would work with me 100% of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trensa Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 1 hour ago, TRon said: Thanks for the insight and welcome. Do you rate him that highly? Kounde is very good player but because He plays beside DC too. People would be very angry if we sell him below 50m. 1 hour ago, Mr Raspberry Jam said: Good. Shows Trensa up to be a liar. Will see. 1 hour ago, Awaymag said: Thanks, you're in luck as we have a striker here called Gayle that we rate at €50M, so looks like a straight swap is on the cards. You are very welcome! We have an UEL MVP Luuk De Jong, we could sell to you for 50m too. 1 hour ago, Pokerprince2004 said: Always nice to have fans of other clubs give opinion on their players Like others have asked, how highly do Seville fans rate him? Very highly. I don't see a sell right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we are slinging in various £30m bids in a few different directions, if these clubs have any temptation to cash in, they might just worry that they'll miss the boat if another club decides to cash in on their depreciating 28yr old asset.

Exactly. The best leverage we have is that we have a half dozen bids in at various places and someone may blink and take the money before you do.

toontownman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 All the UK news still breaking the 2nd bid. I guess they have to all agree, out of prosperity for their reputations, to wait a day so they don't all look more stupid if the reports it has been rejected that came out before they broke the bid are true.
