I will admit that I’ve only seen highlight videos of him like That’s interesting though, obviously over a full 90 mins he’s gonna look a bit more reserved than a 3 minute YouTube video. What did you think of him generally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they are letting him go in this window. unless they think they could use the £50-60m to boost their title bid with an extra couple of players coming in.

Yeah I’m not sure Wood is worth 25 though, triggering the clause was just the easiest way of getting him. I know where you are coming from though, £50m for an elite CB who can do it for 5/6 years isn’t a lot of money.

nufcjb Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I don't fucking care now how much he is going to cost. We need a proper CB. Van Djik cost more than this. Fuck sake, that Magguire shit at Man U cost a lot of money to be shit. I'd rather be paying a lot of money for a proper CB like this guy than £15m for Phil fucking Jones! We're the richest club in the world and we need to get out of the mess we're in. Pay whatever it may cost because that dosh is worthless in the Championship.

andyc35i Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Van Dijk was in his early / mid 20s when they got him for £75m. Liverpool knew he would be with them for at least 7-8 years at his peak. Carlos is 29, has less time at his peak and also untested in England. It’s perfectly right for us to not want to over pay no matter how desperate we are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If he lasts 3-4 years keeps us up and we head up the table he will be worth the fee To be fair if anyone comes in and we stay up - it’s money worth spending Having a premier league team come next season is priceless (imho) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I just think we should chuck that money at Botman instead because he could conceivably be here for the next decade given his age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just need to scrape by and the summer will be really exciting. Hopefully we can try again for Botman if he's still available then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thats a fuck load of money. But again not unheard of, Virgil was 26 when Liverpool spent 75million on him. We must rate him higher than Botman or at least that he would transition quicker to the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I couldn't care less about fees really. Quite happy for NUFC to be ripped off for the time being, just want to reduce / eliminate the amount of gurning / indigestion which happens when I read our teamsheets.
