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

The North East press pack have been really on the ball of late, I get why we'd want confirmation from them.

 

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.

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.

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.

Really weird no Edwards comment since it was his paper that broke the story 


Because I think he’s been burnt twice already blowing his load this window and we’re not even a month into it.

I was thinking that 35m seemed alot when Maddison went for 40.

 

Would be a belting signing for that price.

I was thinking 35m sounded good when Sancho went for 73.

How do they know 'what' we're planning to do if we haven't done it already?  It reminds me of the Joao Pedro saga.

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.
