Signing players from abroad is too big a risk though

They'll probably get both for the price they sold Andersen.

[Bimpy474]

Look at them cunts low ball bidding, hope they get told to feck off 

[elbee909]

If we don't get Tapsoba, maybe try Tapudon.

[TheHoob]

Get the Tapsobas on for a transfer bath.

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.

Did we though ? What I heard was the total would be 65m if all add ons were met, the actual fee is guesswork and hearsay.

That's what it said pretty much everywhere, £60m that could become £65m. There are not many things that we can know for certain, might aswell close the transfer thread if that's the standard.

Chomp.

 

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.

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.

[Shadow Puppets]

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.

[J7]

Get them both.

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?

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.

This is lush because now Guehi won't be happy with Parish. 

[The Prophet]

Playing some games of our own, I like it.

How much did pretty much everywhere have us paying for Miggy etc ? Seems like they almost always get it wrong.

 

Keep thebthread going for players we are linked with but take with buckets of salt the prices "quoted".

[gdm]

I don’t want Guehi now. Don’t think he’s worth £70m and sick of it.

- We made a pretty sizeable bid for Guehi (after having other bids rejected)

- Other clubs knows we've made a sizeable bid

 

Do you agree with this? The exact number is not so important. Or are you suggesting that our last bid may have been about £40m or so?

Nobody knows feck all, just be patient and it'll all work out nicely (And I don't that either). We all know nowt basically.

That's better . The number is important though.

Absolutely yeah, I was just commenting on it from my own personal perspective, if the club have got enough faith that it can still get done AND it's the right decision for the club then they should continue with it. Fully aware I'm a bit of a prick but I'd have walked away. Then again I'm not in charge of handling a multi million quid operation...
