    Surely we can get more for a player who wants to stay so the buyers have to intice all parties rather than just going for worst case with a player who wants to chuck toys out the pram. Also as a buying club would you really trust a player who did that?

    Not sure they were doing that as much as finding it difficult to navigate payment at that point.

    I think he's got a point. The number of points we amassed last year in a completely different and separate season means we should give our best players away for next to nothing (maybe to Spurs?) and throw in unlimited hand shandies to the buyer as well.

    When will people understand, that we set these ridiculously high prices, because we don't want to, and importantly, dont need to sell? It has to be an offer too good to refuse for us to even contemplate it.

    Is that so difficult to comprehend?

    In the Premier League centric world it is. They assume every player will trip over themselves at a whiff of premier league interest. They might well be right.

    Why would you let it be known publicly that you can only get to 60% of the asking price? And why would you really expect the first bid to be accepted with no release clause. What kind of negotiation strategy is this ?

    Wrexham are spaffing £10m on Nathan Broadhead. Serious money and a surprising target tbh.

    I guess Moore's injury is quite serious.

    £10 million for a player in the last year of his contract. And West Ham think £30 million is enough for a player like Fernandes with 4 years of a contract remaining.

    Loan market tends to pick up towards the end of the transfer window TBF as clubs work out who can go out on loan.

    Oh I get that. I just wonder if there's one of the 428,947 players Chelsea have, or possibly City, that we have a sniff at.
