Shearergol Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 We’ll pay £60m if that’s what it takes. He’s worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This is going to drag on through the month but I do think we will get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 So most outlets are reporting that we've bid £50 million, but Leicester want £60 million. Surely they find a compromise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 He's easily worth £60m IMO. Not saying we should just bid it outright, but if he's attainable for that price we should do whatever we can to get him. Apart from diving to win a penalty against us, he's been one of my favourite players in the PL the last few seasons. Would be such an incredible signing.

STM Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They were always going to reject this second bid, as they know we will edge higher. The next bid will be the crucial one, because at that point it will be take it or leave. It's right about now where Maddison needs to inform the club of his desire to leave.

The Prophet Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Interesting that Maddison is the player we've gone all in on mind. There was talk of Diaby and Isak going at similar prices. We obviously value PL experience quite highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot players with big reputations and transfer fees have failed to deliver in the premiership. Not much risk on a player with proven pedigree.

Wolfcastle Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Tend to think 'stuff it' with all this bidding, but its not like the people were bidding for now are off a conveyor belt in a cloning facility so will just go with the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'd still be happier signing Isak, but that's purely because of personal reasons. Maddison offers better value for the club IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I know I'm somewhat simplifying things but I still don't understand how negotiations over the price of a player can take days in this day and age. I just don't get how it doesn't end up a real time discussion with pauses to get sign off from any appropriate higher ups? You're either willing to listen to offers as the sellers, and willing to go up to a certain price as the buyers, or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be fucking loads of paperwork to go over, with clauses and bonuses etc. Then you know, people might actually need some time to consider things There are so many people involved in a transfer, I'm surprised any gets done quickly at all tbh.

Scotty66 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) The chances we would create if we signed him. I like Howe's thought process. We don't need a new striker we just need to give Wood 80 chances in a game and he will get goals. Maybe. Edited August 1, 2022 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get clauses and whatnot but I'll just never understand it taking days just to reach the headline transfer figure. Of course there'll be a fuckton of paperwork to sift through when the time comes but are they refreshing every page with every offer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Do either the Man City or Spurs documentaries show much in the way of transfer negotiations? I'd love to know how they actually go down.
