Skeletor Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The MacAllister transfer has already set a bench mark for quality of player to fee and wages. MacAllister would have been exactly what we needed and has gone for what seems like a bargain price. Hope he has a bloody miserable career at the self-martyrs. That being said it's deals like that which I'd judge our own business against. McTominay for anywhere near a similar fee would be a shambles. I still hope to be pleasantly surprised by the business we will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a very good keeper for £10m, I'd be very surprised if the clubs in the top 7 don't spend double at least for someone good. If we fancy a player we might pay the asking price even if fans don't agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocunar Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I have a very strong feeling that he is coming here. I also have a feeling that he will cost more then Mac Allister. Oh well, I hope we do bring in 2 midfielders with him being the 'lesser' one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 This is exactly how I feel about it: https://twitter.com/nufcsanjay/status/1667270353314250752?s=46&t=JZ8c671x9oEsAzFgMcFNxQ I can’t actually believe the prices being quoted for him and would feel sick as if it’s my own money if we spend north of £30m on him.

simonsays Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Apologies for bumping this, but I do wonder if the club see McTominay not only as a midfield option but also someone who can cover central defence. He has played there a lot for Scotland and he's right footed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 From Hope's latest piece: Quote James Maddison remains of key interest - but not at the £60m Leicester want - and they have again asked about Scott McTominay, although Manchester United’s asking price north of £30m is also prohibitive at present.

timeEd32 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 We probably thought he would be a reasonably inexpensive addition and then couldn't believe the prices being quoted by Man United. I can understand our interest at a certain price point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 If we sign Toonali and Maddison instead, this thread will go from being diabolical to delicious within the space of one window. Oh how we would laugh at Froggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Good article on the BBC website today about him, from reading that you can sort of understand why Howe maybe wants him, almost had me sold then came to my fucking senses. West Ham all day long with a 100 million burning a hole in their pocket. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65969204 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 To be honest, now we've got Tonali, I could live with McTominay joining to bolster the numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
