Minhosa Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 There's also the big issue of sending a message. It might even be part of their strategy to have numerous bids rejected and/or considered 'derisory'. They're clearly not going to throw the cash about in the way Forest just have on that kid from Wolves and, tbh, I'm absolutely fine with that. It's easy to forget, we ended up with top four form at the end of last season with Chris Wood playing every week. We can cope just fine if the deals don't come off. We might have to lose some battles to win the war. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If we are going back in I'm pretty confident this gets done. If we get the total fee up into the £27-28m range it's going to be really hard for Watford to reject now Pedro has made it clear he wants to leave.

The Prophet Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We'll get this done. Watford have gone from "not for sale" to breifing the media he's available for £30 million all in. We'll up it to £25 million plus add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We are trying to keep as much of a budget back to lay onto a loan deal, probably for a Chelsea player.

Tsunami Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 PIF paid a billion to settle the pirate tv dispute to clear the way for a 300m takeover. Money can’t be the issue with transfers. It’s got to be ffp, not being seen as a soft touch and only making transfers that will improve us. It isn’t going to be easy doing business but it is important that we got at least 2 deals done. We’re selling a vision and we’re going to miss out on quite a few targets early on. Sooner we get some proper sponsorship in the better. In the meantime we are vulnerable to stalling and also to other clubs sniffing around Bruno/ Botman (assuming he comes good). Big couple of weeks imo, if only to show that we are here and that we can get things done. It would be easy to look at us at the moment and think we are missing out on targets to other clubs (no disrespect to other clubs) that shouldn’t be competing with us and that we are also difficult to deal with (understandably it could argued). It’s quite clear that fans of other clubs simply think we should be rinsed and that money is no object. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's via this exact method we got Bruno for £39 million and Botman for £32 million. It's frustrating, particularly when it's played out in public, but not only do we want to be seen as tough negotiators, we want to be tough negotiators.

They also just paid £93 million to stage a boxing match, if Howe wants a player really bad that won't upset the others and break the wage structure he'll get him.

I get where you’re coming from but if we have a couple injuries which results in Wood starting alongside the likes of Murphy and Fraser, we’re in for a long season I think. The dearth of attacking quality in the squad must be addressed, at least partially in this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
