Im not even mad at him if he’s the one that wanted Wissa at that price. He shouldn’t be able to make that call. Elanga too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We can't expect much more for him if we want to make his wage demands tolerable for potential buyers. I doubt at this stage of his career he is willing to take a wage cut from a contract that runs until 2029, so we need to finance buyers in a way. No club that can afford him will be interested.

The Prophet Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I get we live in an SCR world, but we fo get way too hung up on transfer fees (myself included). In today's market, the benchmark suggests Elanga was a £55 million pound player. Wissa due to age and contest length was not, but we grossly overpaid due to our desperation. While I still think the former could turn out to be a useful player, he's never going to be a world beater. As good as our talent spotting has been, we've been incredibly lucky not to have a dud until last summer. We've got plenty of flops and overpays to come, it's just the nature of the beast.

He shouldn’t be able to make that call. Elanga too. Why can't we keep a sporting director? Our third under Eddie knew to not disagree with him. Amanda Staveley was the beginning of the end. Time to start fresh with a new group and a goal to create stability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 14 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: I'd say it's the definition of an overspend on a player we already knew we wanted. Panic buy to me has to be a sort of 'quick we need someone!' scenario. Wat. 55m? Not a panic buy price? You sure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I'd been clinging on to the hope he might still have some impact next season. Maybe even still have a couple of seasons in him as a half decent rotation option. I have no idea how reliable that report is, but if it's anywhere close to true, then that's terrible. I'd really like to know what's gone on behind the scenes since he joined. Considering reports that we may need to sell to buy anyway, that sort of loss and also getting nothing back on the pitch would make this doubly bad. On a positive note, errr... Oh yes, I know, the forum is back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alreetworked Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I don't know what year you all are living in acting like 55m was some outrageous fee. Going on like he's 35 or something too, 29 isn't that old. Edited April 24 by Alreetworked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I will still say the biggest mistake Howe made was not selling Wilson two years earlier. Another striker would have been brought in and we would not have had such a weak hand in transfer negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
