First offers are always rejected. Nothing new there.

 

Have Forest leaked to Ornstein that we've made a bid and if so why if they don't want to sell?

 

Yup. Doubt we're the ones feeding Ornstein on this. Forest just want to posture to get the price up as is their right - same as Southampton did with Tino and Everton with Gordon. Same as I imagine we'll do if we ever sell a player in this range. Such is life!

stats bug the fuckin tits off me sometimes. Wood only scored 3 less than Isak let’s sell Isak and get wood back in

Wut. No stats guy thinks Wood is better than Isak. Stats is also about estimating latent quantities, so literally the opposite of this. Chris Wood also ran really hot so idk man 

[nemtizz]

We’re being fleeced if we pay more than £50m.

You think I was being serious there?

 

also let’s go on assist stats then? Murphy had more assists than Elanga last year.

Can't put a price on that hit of dopamine I'll feel when we get new signing content.

[HayDen Traces]

Its all a smokescreen to bring Gabriel Obertan back

[Deuce]

Elanga is shit and no proper big club would be in for him but he’s also worth at least £60m and I’m furious that our inept front office put in such a crap bid.

Do I think you were seriously recommending, or supposing, the swap? No. Do I think the point was stupid? Yes.

Wonder if this means we aren’t/weren’t in for Pedro.

[Miggys First Goal]

At least we’re making moves.  

[Kid Icarus]

I already think he'd be really good for us, but my motivation for us signing him is more out of spite for other posters at this point.

£50 million seems about par in today's market.

The point was you cannot be too reliant on stats. So the example was maybe stupid (as was intended) but the point wasn’t. Shame you couldn’t understand that but we shall move on

Cant see this being a goer. It will take close to 60m or over for Forest to even consider selling.

[Kimbo]

Seems obvious to me he won’t cost less than £55m, £60m will probably be needed. He’s a star player at a wealthy premier league club with no PSR problems.

Where's our Luke with the exclusive?

We tried

I always assumed we wanted both. 

[Ikon]

Hopefully they ask for 65-70m. Hope we don’t waste our time raising our offer a little here and there while still being miles off.

No chance imo, we can’t afford them and everything else we would need.
