LFEE Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Always wanted to sign him. Was disappointed we didn’t get him (along with Isak) the first time. Paying double/triple is a bit silly if the prices quoted are to be believed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 We've been talking to his reps since he was at Watford, so we're definitely interested. Feels like we missed the boat in terms of signing him for a fair price though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but you do wonder how bad that fall out was after the red card against Brentford and the subsequent fight with Van Hecke? Has his relationship completely broken down with the manager, and they’ve decided they need to get rid, or he’s decided he wants out? Wishful thinking probably, but you never know.

Yes, you don’t want a thread for every single player linked, but there’s obviously a bit more to this given we were pretty close to signing him at one point.

timeEd32 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 This is one of the clearest examples of PSR hamstringing us in terms of building a squad. He became financially impossible after we chose Isak instead and then went for Gordon and then it was too late. Obviously glad we got Isak over him, but he'd be an incredibly useful player for us.

What is the price for him? It’s how much Eddie sees him as the piece of the jigsaw and how much he puts value on him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be £60m+ - and Howe is unlikely to blow such a massive chunk of his budget on a second string player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Might be wrong but I seem to recall that Watford wanted a big fee for Pedro so we backed out and they then got him to sign a new contract. I think Watford then sold him to Brighton the following window for less than they wanted from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit weird - Romano giving it the here we go prematurely, saying the info came direct from Watford - but I think Wilson getting a bad injury early in the season made us rapidly move on to a surer thing in Isak.
