TRon Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My Watch (on the window) is over for today. Will turn up again tomorrow with fresh hope and good cheer. If it turns out he's not signing, well he had shit hair anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re telling us that there’s nothing in this? I guess sources at our club would have briefed the media long time ago if that was the case.

STM Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yeah I'm still quietly confident of us getting him. It's say around 60%. If you take away Ekitike (who we basically had until PSG came in), we've found a way of signing the players we want. Arguably Harrison is another who we seem keen on and have kept edging up our bids. If reports were correct we have probably bid somewhere around the 45m mark at this stage. The Leicester end have suggested that 60m is what they want but you would have to assume that their 60m is their top end figure. That's why I asked the question of a compromise around 52/54m? If we can reach that figure, with add ons etc, I think we could be in business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a long way from their asking price and about 15-20% away from a figure they would seriously consider by yours(and mine) estimate. I'm not optimistic.

I've seen a few people say this, but surely its the other way round? Unless clubs need or want to sell, I'd imagine we'll need to bid more and more as deadline day approaches. From what I can see we're bidding for players clubs want to keep. If players were transfer listed, fair enough. But we're trying to take clubs' major assets.

That’s my thinking It gives teams less time to line up replacements as well , so more reluctant to sell Edited August 3, 2022 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up front we have Willson and then... Who are you expecting to score the amount of goals Maddison would probably have scored,putting his assists to one side?

You aren’t bidding £60m, you are bidding £40m, if that. Pay the £60m and you might have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
