Ffp was maxed last year and it's had a knock on effect. What's different to what we didn't know already?
Doesn't that actually indicate the very thing we're saying - that young CBs with a decent level of experience should be going for 20m+? THB has less experience but more pedigree, isn't left footed, but Man City have a stronger negotiating position. Webster went from Brighton for around 20m a few years ago for instance.
A few years ago clubs weren't getting points deducted for ffp breeches. I think that the majority of clubs are on the cusp is suppressing this year's market. Disappointing when it comes to fees for outgoings, but we should benefit from the flip side of that when applied to incomings.
Plenty on this board will claim know with100% certainty. The views expressed in posts are not necessarily mine.
From what I know, Ipswich are the only team to put an offer in at the published prices…,that sort of tells me he isn’t rated by the other 19 pl clubs as highly as he is on here. If Ipswich are the only club to offer what they’ve offered then that’s what he’s worth
So keep him then. We know Philogene is going so one big sale should be more than enough to keep our heads above water
Why keep him Ipswich have or are giving us the way to bringing in 2 or 3 decent players for selling him to them my opinion is we have had their pants down.
Philogene is on his way back to the UK to resign for Villa, we get £13m after the sell-on has been deducted.
That is not to bad as we are sort of letting them have him back they may also send others this way if they have anyone we are interested in it's worked well for both sides, they would not have got that amount if he had not come to us as they would not have played him.
We'd get £13m after the sell on has been deducted regardless of who he goes to (I think you realise that, but some people seemed to think him going to Villa was worse for us)
