Pata Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Stunned how there are still people that think some journalist would know how much we are about to spend.

It can change with outgoings and I'm sure the new regime will be flexible and adapt should someone become available. So not even the owners know really much less some journalist.

Wether it’s actually true or the club are putting it out there to try keep prices down is up for debate but I doubt 3 journalists have just decided to make it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest we’ll be lucky to get £10m for our out goings combined also it’ll be the owners briefing the journalists.

Shearergol Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Barca can’t afford to register or pay their new centre back but can find £60m and £6m a year in wages. Love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Don’t really buy the narrative that the club are deliberately telling journalists we have a limited budget to get prices down. Everyone in the world knows how much money the Saudis have and will continually expect us to pay more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sarr would be a much better option than Fraser, Murphy, or Almiron. So I'd be really happy with him. Ofc, we all want the glamorous big names through the door, I've been dying for Raphina all window. But, for now, we need to improve, and Sarr does that. Can't imagine he'd be the only wide player we bring in either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently his agent is in the country trying to push through a deal. My money's on him. I think ideally they would go younger but there's not too many options at that position with a high output of goals/assists that aren't upwards of £40 million. And I think whoever we bring into the first team in that position will have a record of producing goals/assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Disco said: Would be happy with Sarr like, got a much higher ceiling than anything we have and given they were talking of £40/50m last time he went down I’d think it represents decent value too. Can’t imagine he’s on mega wages either which keeps the squad settled too. Yeah, I was underwhelmed originally when his name cropped up, but maybe some of us need to take a step back and accept that it's about improving the team at this stage, not buying CL players. Sarr would be a significant upgrade on Murphy and Fraser, and he's a good fit for where we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked back in March. The source was A BOLA newspaper in Portugal. Article is no longer on their site though, but it's referenced in loads of articles mentioning it from March.

Dr Jinx Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sarr would be like when we signed Targett, slightly underwhelmed but then actually when you see him play, it all makes sense and he was vastly underrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
