Yeah but the more we use now the less we can spend in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It goes to show no matter what the club do they can't really win. "Just pay it or move on" "Don't pay that much, what about FFP" "We need bodies or we're going down" "He isn't worth that much' Etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just how it is now Exactly, the price for these type of players always come down to whether the proof is in the pudding. For every Keane there's a Rudiger, for every Maguire there's a Van Dijk.

Really don't think the pitiable commercial/retail revenues of the last regime will continue under the new ownership, so it's a bit early to come to that conclusion.

Slim Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If we are bidding 60mil could we not bid that on Botman instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kounde everybody has heard about. This Carlos very few knew anything about before we came in for him. Not a single game for Brazil either? i know its january but the price is way over the top..

Awaymag Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The reported price really doesn't matter. If it happens it will be for an undisclosed fee. Some reporters will say its X, some will report its Y. Twitter will argue about it and then forget and we move onto the next incoming transfer. Its for the owners to worry about the price.

Oz Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Realistically he isn't going to be signed in time for Saturday and we have no other games before the window closes so i'd sit tight on our current offer while simultaneously moving on to other targets.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Tbh, if what they want is between €35m-€50m I'd just pay it. We're so desperate for defensive upgrades that that is what it's going to take to bring in top level replacements for our shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it means nothing to our owners, but if we spend £100m on players which just gets wrote off in a couple of years, doesn't that come back to bite us on the arse when FFP rules are applied?
