Our knock on the door is different these days because our product is so much better. We don’t pay premium wages like City/Lpool/ManU which will ultimately stop us attracting the very best I’m sure we have - the pif don’t get to be worth as much as they are without learning how to deal with money grabbing businessmen.

madras Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 26 minutes ago, LV said: Pay them a fee for sure and yeah maybe a slice of the transfer fee but a percentage of their wages across the whole contract. That feels way too much and more than a little parasitic. They do more than just a transfer though. They'll negotiate all the other endorsements, sponsorships etc and handle all the contacts behind the clubs back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 £4-5m signing on fee and £90-100k a week and I'd have had him here as a bit of creativity alongside Bruno or when he's out. £9m and probably £150k a week though is a bit much. Still think he'll do well next club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I honestly don’t give a shit about the money aspect at the end of the day. Players have their worth based on pitch performance, consistency and results back the compensation. Tielemans doesn’t control games. He doesn’t set the tempo (anymore). He doesn’t take over games. He’s a good player when you’re doing well. He doesn’t drag a team up or improve them in immeasurable ways. He’s not our Bruno. He’s not our Joelinton.

Just had a look at his videos and everything about the way he plays reminds me so much of Bruno. Looks like a good player. Edit: a cross between Bruno and Almiron. 70% Bruno and 30% Almiron. If this happens I think it confirms that EH is trying to build the most tenacious squad in the history of football.

He was on the list of potential targets the first time around before he went to City. Extremely versatile player. Sign him the fuck up. Interesting. See what you said is also one of my concerns. We already have a few 'versatile' players. Give me specialists now. Give me players that are in the conversation for top 10 in the world. That's how you match City.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 As said before you need to be careful with higher end free transfers as players expect a sign on fee and generally higher wages as the club have saved on a fee. Big risk of ending up with someone you can shift if they are underwhelming as their wages are above market rate. Ramsey at Juve being a great example of that.
