35-40m for Thiaw? Is this the “value from abroad” everyone was asking for? 


Could literally spend even a tiny bit more and get someone a lot more proven for the money imo.
 

 

Brother you realise this is because we dropped the ball?Como had if done at 25m euro the difference is the cost of our own incompetence. 

 

To add on Palace got Lacroix for quite cheap and did forest with Milenkovic meanwhile Wet spam paid 45m pounds for Kilman.

All strikers. Leads me to believe that money would be Isak money after he’s sold. 

 

I think we would've been shopping in that market regardless of isak blindsiding us no?

 

I certainly expected/hoped we would move on a striker, and of the ekitike ilk also.

 

Dunno, maybe I'm being naive.

Urgh. I genuinely think our finances PSR wise aren’t as big as some would like to believe it is 

Budget was between 100-150 if we believe the media. At a push closer to 180m maybe with the Longstaff sale.

We've clearly had our eye on this guy. Think something about his style is deemed to be well suited to how we play. Think he's going to exceed expectations considerably.

 

He also signed for Milan when he was quite young and inexperienced so is on less than £20,000 a week currently, and so he will easily fit into the wage structure at very good value you imagine.

Why's that?

. We wanted Guehi or scalvini but they are clearly too expensive. This guy was about to join como a few weeks ago and we didn’t move for him? Seems a desperate & cheap choice to me

Maldini wanted Botman and Thiaw together. If it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me.

Wasn't that deal part of a bit of dark arts trading between Como and Milan?

Guehi is going to Liverpool clearly and all a bid would do is flush them out and embarrass us again. We’ve no idea about Scalvini. We need quite a few defenders in over the next few windows and they can’t all be superstars.

Must say, despite it being an awful window so far, everyone’s new found hate for Romano has been entertaining  :lol:

If he was tweeting loads of good news for us it would be different but it is funny

Desperate I'd currently agree with.

 

We've clearly liked the lad for a while and we seem to keep going back to players previously scouted.

 

Not sure what the craic with Como was, but it's obviously kicked our transfer team up the arse.

Based on everything i've read this summer I think this is just a coincidence of how slow and quite frankly inept the management team ( or lack of) has moved than it is a cheap choice. Now granted if there are no other signings outside of Wissa or they go for a cheap option in midfield (without an Isak sale) then you are probably right, but I don't think there's enough information to suggest this is a cheap option yet.

I’m aware I’m moaning but everything seems underwhelming at moment we went from Trafford to Ramsdale, Ekitike to Wissa & now Guehi/scalvini to Thaiw. Just want one signing to get me excited.

Guaranteed if they knew we were interested too, Como’s offer wouldn’t have lasted a minute. Serie A clubs treat Premier League interest like a green light to charge whatever they want. 
 

Don’t think it’s massively on us here, Milan knows they can squeeze more cash out of us. That’s the game, plain and simple.
