Willow Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I don't give a fuck about the amount we spend on any player, as long as we get what we need to improve the team, that's all that counts. Really, really hope we can get this one done asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Times reported last week that they weren't interest. The thing is that we don't know how interested we are either. Ormstein reported we'd had discussions with Palace and the Ronny claimed there were further discussions yesterday. It could have been as simple as: "£70 million? We're not paying that. OK, bye". I'm sure these things happen all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually, for about the same amount of money, a late switcheroo for Branthwaite would be pretty hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly if Liverpool genuinely go in for him I think they’ll take him over us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the sounds from the player are positive which is another big battle won. I've got faith in this happening. Usually you can sense when its bullshit, but this one feels more likely.

Casemiro improved Man U for a season, now he's a £60m + old DM with no legs on mega wages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been reporting on more speculative stuff this transfer window, probably because there's not as much going on. He loves the "club x are exploring a deal for player y" line, covering all bases.

Signing a player at the end of his career for mega money and mega wages is a different discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I totally agree, but the previous poster said 'any' player I was just referencing that unfortunately the cost of players and FPP is such a burden and limiting factor for a team improving. I admire him for never giving a shit, but for example I'd be gutted if we signed a CB who improved us for huge money and then we couldn't afford a RW etc Not saying that we will do this or Guehi is gonna bankrupt us, just a hypothetical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 -St James and unique atmosphere (which he’s commented on) -Working and developing under Howe - Playing with the likes of Bruno, Isak and Gordon - Decent chance of top four qualification and cup run ….are all reasons why he might be keen to come.

We don't buy older players on long contracts anymore, and if we are to spend a lot on a player, it'll be the right fit. We will get the odd one wrong, but in the main we'll be very good. I say that with Tonali's gambling not found out about until too late, but with Mitchell in now as well, I think our buying will on the money, pun intended.
