LFEE Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: It's reported that the City game and the Wilson injury was a game changer for the decision makers. It's not like Sociedad reached out to us. Isak played that same weekend and scored iirc. We went back determined to get a deal, with a bigger budget and Sociedad came down a bit on price. They got a whole £60m, it's not like we got a cut-price bargain deal. In short, we did the pivot. It was circumstance and desire rather than a "value for money" call. They dropped their asking price from £80m to £53m+£10m add ons. Isak dropped his wage demands by half from £260kpw to £125kpw. That was what made us move. Botman was £50m in winter and £32m in summer. That’s why we waited. Same will apply to future transfers until we improve our finances relating to FFP. So any players linked that you’d fairly guess would already be on more than £125kpw or unwilling to accept that or thereabouts you can safely disregard for another 18 month at least. If we get top 4 this year that will fast forward scope a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He reminds me of Bellamy - he’s fast, annoying, energetic and can play as a withdrawn striker as well as out wide. What’s more he has left his previous club with the fans hating him. What’s not to like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'm going to trust the people that brought us Bruno, Botman, Isak and Trippier. They know our situation with FFP, they know what's around the corner as far as sponsorship etc goes and they know what Eddie wants from his squad.

Wasn't even referring to this deal specifically, even though I do think it's on the pricey side I don't think it's massively overvalued. My point is simply that I think the 'it's not my money I don't care how much we spend' is a little shortsighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is simply that I think the 'it's not my money I don't care how much we spend' is a little shortsighted. I think it sort of goes without saying that the people saying this/thinking this understand that those at the club will have a very good handle on what we can afford to spend. Hence, why worry?
