Chris_R Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Can we have some kind of 7 day forum-wide ban for anyone who even mentions Isak on the left? Happy to go first for this post if it sets a precedent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If they’ve been talking to Leicester for a while I’d imagine the bid will just be a formality. That Simon Jones from the Mail writes also sorts of hits constantly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East journalism is the pits. I know they've not got the direct scoops like Gibson and Oliver had up to 20 years ago and the 24/7 news cycle makes it tougher since you're fighting for clicks rather than filling a newspaper that people bought out of habit, but the quality in general is awful.

Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Take away the £25m and we've basically offered nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If we managed to do a deal at 25 million as an initial payment, it would be a steal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 £25M would be a steal. If that's not including add ons and there's £5M/£10M of them to include then that makes more sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I was thinking that 35m seemed alot when Maddison went for 40. Would be a belting signing for that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I'd imagine that's basic fee going to something between £30-40m. £60-70m combined for Barnes and Gordon given their ages, potential, goals, sell-on value is brilliant business. Guessing Ashworth knows these two from the various England youth levels? Class how we seem to be looking both here and still picking up top overseas players.

McCormick Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Yeah, 25m would be crazy for an English player with his kind of numbers, in this market. Obviously with it being an opening bid, you’d expect the figure to be agreed at closer to 30m plus add-ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 A lot of deals are being done for much less than the initial rumoured prices, it seems. 25m for Barnes does seem particularly reasonable given his output, though. That said, if you take away his goals we're paying too much IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
