More made up scenarios. There's always a one which counters any argument. It's pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Should give us the £60m to spend on James Tavernier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Just now, Elliottman said: Well we’ll be about £30-£40 million better off for a start! (Assuming we don’t blow the lot on one player) There’s no decent argument for waiting until after the WC if there’s decent money on the table now. It's not decent. It's very average.

Why on earth would you take such a risk when there’s no suggestion you’ll get a better deal? Why stall your whole summer, it’s nonsense man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Dokko said: No, you alluded to me saying he would be worth more after the WC, which would insinuate performances dictate. 'Worth more' was your comment. I never said that. I just said hold out and stop making up scenarios, which you did with injury comments. 😂 He's still going to be worth £70m before, during or after the WC, it's not a great fee to accept right now. If £70m is the offer now and you don’t think that’s enough and want to hold out until after the WC, then you are saying you want an increase on £70m, which means you want more after the WC. Which means you think he’s worth more if we hold out. Otherwise just sell him for £70m now. I never said anything about his performances at the WC increasing his price. I wasn’t insinuating anything. Which bit of that have I got wrong ? Edited May 27 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Think looking back, as much as we didn't think it at the time, getting Isak out at the start of the window would've been infinitely preferable to what happened. We might've got an extra 10/15m for him or whatever but look at the damage it did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why stall your whole summer, it’s nonsense man. So you know this is the only offer we'd get? We've apparently got 2 teams bidding for him and another 2 or 3 interested. But aye, drop your pants at the first sign of a bit of interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said what if we sign a player for £50m and he gets injured for 9 months at the WC. I said what if we sign a player after the WC for £50m and he gets injured for 9 months in preseason. Same end result. Edited May 27 by Joe1984 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 You can't want us to move quickly on incomings and hold out for months on outgoings. We're also dealing with a player who clearly doesn't want to be here anymore. I agree the fee surprised me at first but I think we're all a bit anchored to the Isak money and some other transfers that happened years ago. If Barcola is in the £60-70m range and Diomande around £85m then we're probably in fair value territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
