He might be right. He might be trying to convince himself more than us. I'd be extremely worried about the prospect of losing a player as good as Maddison as well Tbf. Remember when Carroll was sold, I was fucking gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want a progression route for them. Kasper hasn’t been amazing, this season. So it’s a good time to make a change. Still gutted as he’s a legend though. I thought ward was the one to get the nod? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Still think he'd be available for the right price. We must have had some sort of encouragement for us to put two bids in for him. Other similar targets we've seemingly walked away from without bidding when we've been told what it would take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a number were already on loan to other clubs before who we know still have interest in them. It’s likely to all be late loan deals. And we juts loan players in, our RW both of last two seasons has been a loan, so we’d just do it again. Fair enough, would make more sense to either sell perez of play him in his position though.

gdm Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 In my opinion I think if we go all in on Maddison it may well be our only signing unless we can get a striker on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were hearing about offers for Bruno from a big club or a club on the rise we would be shitting it aswell. I suppose because of our current owners wealth its not quite the same for us as other clubs because we are going to hit the stage of having all sponsors in place, tv money rolling in, we hope European football so more revenue, and all the other things that generate revenue and we will be able to replace no trouble. We will also hit the point of having players that we can actually sell for a decent wedge. Currently we have nothing really so we're just spending. Great times coming! Not that I'd ever want to, because we couldn't replace his personality. What a lovely guy he is! Aye, if we lost Bruno I would be gutted. I just hope we are in a place in a couple of years so we can live up to his ambitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be more than a groan. He is here for a while, we are just signing the best players we can. It might take a while but if every player we sign from now is of the calibre of Bruno, Botman etc I am happy to wait. We just need to make sure we sign enough of that level so we progress to meet their needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to make sure we sign enough of that level so we progress to meet their needs. This is exactly the reason we've been 'slow' in the transfer market. We're only after quality and it doesn't come easily or cheaply. We could continue to just make the Targett,Burn type signing that are good consistent players but if we want the Bruno, Trippier, Botman level then we have to play a different game to attract those players and convince their club to sell. Even our wage structure could be holding us back currently, let alone other factors such as European football etc. But we've managed to get 3 top players in so far in a relatively small time frame. So I'm happy with that, and it's will likely be a 4th before the window shuts based on the amount we're bidding for Maddison and Howes interview.

Meaning we'll have a better chance at Maddison if Leicester still need to sell. I know the Leicester fan says it'll be lesser players...but it surely favour us. Or are Chelsea hoovering up every fucker! They are desperate for a centre back so I don’t think it will stop them going for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yeah, while him joining and Azpilicueta staying does augment them, there still seems to be a decent hole at CB in their squad, and they do appear to have unlimited funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it was the valuation. It was down to the fact they were still challenging for the league and involved in the Europa League. See Botman also.

Rich Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Seems the consensus from Hope/Caulkin/Douglas/Downie on that True Faith talk-in with Hodor was that this is dead in the water, at least if Twitter is to be believed. Agents briefed that we could get him for £42M, then they held firm on £60M. Used to flush out interest from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham. I suppose we'll see.
