The Prophet Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Fab was saying they want £30 million all in, so fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Pretty sure if we threw in Murphy or Anderson on loan as part of it they'd accept given they're losing 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's been the word since back in June. I do think there's a chance if we had come out with that as our first offer earlier on they would have tried to get more, so I kind of get the whole approach.

Aye, not sure bidding high on your opener is ever a viable strategy when you appear to be the only buyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I’m good with that as a final offer. Much higher and we’re entering (reported) Ramos/Paqueta territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Interesting that Fab is specifying that it's verbal, rather than an official bid. He does have good connections at Watford so maybe they're keeping him in the loop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford are fine for players. They already have other prospects that will be introduced into the team. If they do go into the market it will be for players much better than anyone we would give them.

Yeah, left to some folks on here though, we'd be doing that every time. And clubs would just push the price up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they have been verbal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple journalists have said “there was no second bid” due to it apparently not being submitted in writing. So I think this is just Romano covering his back.

I think the owner wants the full fee for Paqueta upfront, which is causing the issue. I believe we paid Bruno's initial fee all upfront too? If I'm not mistaken.
