I tried making one a few years ago:
 

 

I'd love to remember who broke what last summer for this sort of thing.

 

IIRC...

 

Wolte: first broken by Hope

Wissa: interest first reported by Hope or even Downie?

Ramsey: Ornstein

Thiaw: fucked if I can remember who first said we were back in

Ramsdale: can't remember 

Elanga: think this was Edwards regrettably, but a broken clock and all that 

 

Only confident on Wolte and Ramsey there

I think one of our resident Meelan fans was saying we should go for this guy a while back 

 

One of three players in the entire Serie A for whom it would be justified to spend a fortune... he should have been bought 6 months ago, in the January transfer window, when no one abroad had noticed him. Now his price tag has skyrocketed but if you want a 20yo Cafu he's the one to take.

Ah, Cafu became Cafu at 25/26 years old; Palestra at 20yo plays like a veteran and isn't afraid of anything or anyone...predestined.

Another young talent from abroad to scrub off the list.

In time I may look very stupid here; but this reads like Lille desperately trying to drive the price up. I don't see a £60m player in him right now. 

 

He has some nice attributes but he still looks incredibly raw. There's not a great deal of subtly in his dribbling. It's a lot of kick and rush and he appears very one footed. 

 

In numbers terms, he got 8 goals in 41 games last season. For comparison, Gordon was bettering that for about £20 million quid less in his first full season here at a similar age. If you're adamant he's a £60m player then he needs to be surpassing Gordon at his best (10 and 10 in the league) and I don't think he'll do that anytime soon. 

 

They're demanding a 'what he could be' fee instead of a 'where he's at + bonuses'.

Definitely not a 70 million player at this point. 35 at most but that's paying for potential. If the cartel clubs really are interested then we should steer clear as his fee definitely goes way beyond what we should pay. The cartel can afford to splurge 60 million on potential, we can't. Too risky.

I’d be surprised if we’re shopping in the £60m player market this summer at all - too many positions to strengthen or replace.
