Sibierski Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 28 minutes ago, Unbelievable said: Seems anecdotal that statement. In general people tend to gravitate towards people they've worked well with before, and that is usually considered a positive thing. It's kind of odd that you don't mind this for Howe (Wilson, Kelly, etc.) but suddenly when it's a DoF it becomes a problem. I'd love for Mitchell to use his inside knowledge of Monaco's academy to try and poach their best prospects for example. I’d say it’s less of a problem for a manager because the remit is often different. For a DoF to go to previous club / specific agents, it’s red flags for me.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Tapsoda is a superb centre half, but I can’t us signing him in our present form - would love to be wrong, of course. I would’ve thought if he left, he’d be gobbled up by an elite club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It's kind of unfortunate that other clubs knows we bid £60+5m for Guehi. Not saying we shouldn't have just because of that, but it can be used against us now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I heard was the total would be 65m if all add ons were met, the actual fee is guesswork and hearsay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not many things that we can know for certain, might aswell close the transfer thread if that's the standard.

Dr Venkman Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 13 hours ago, midds said: I know it's easy to say from a distance but I'd have walked away from this whole deal the second that slimy spiv cunt opened his mouth last Tuesday. Huge red flag for me, going full public on a private sale of a player to pacify his own fanbase - fuck that. Move on. There are more CBs in the world other than Marc Guehi. He's very good but he's not worth this amount of hassle, especially considering the wanksplat we're having to negotiate with With respect, the priority should be whether or not the club get (what they perceive as) value for money on the transfer. Everything else is noise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 For what it's worth, still (as of this morning) I'm told that they're working hard trying to sort the Guehi deal. Still their number 1 choice, player still expecting it to happen soon. There might very well be truth in us opening talks with Tapsoba too, but the Guehi deal isn't dead.

Signing players who have already demonstrated their capabilities in the Premier League is obviously less risky than signing players who've never played in the league. It’s common sense, really. Players are quicker to settle if they’re UK-based and Howe prefers them. For the most part, we’ve done very well in the market by getting a mix of prem experience and high quality established (not cheap by any means) players from abroad. Why criticize this approach when it’s been fairly successful thus far? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why criticize this approach when it’s been fairly successful thus far? We started out getting good players from abroad, but the last 4 windows we have signed PL players only, with the exception of some cheap talents and Tonali. Will be interesting to see how it develops with Mitchell. Edited August 21 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
