That's only 16% of the Suarez fee. We should show them how good a bunch of mugs we are by offering 20% (£15m) up front and even help them scout their perfect replacement, that will be a considerably better player at a fraction of the fee they receive. Davies FFS
I'd take Barkley in a heartbeat if he became available and EFC would consider selling to us. His talent is there to see for anyone with eyes and a brain in their head. I predict a massive season for him this year.
So we're torn between paying double for Davies or a couple of million over for Moreno? I know which I'd rather do!
Saw somewhere wages were an issue as he wanted an amount which would make him their highest paid player. Not sure how true that is though.
that much is patently obvious. Its not quite so simple of you are thinking its 18-20mil for moreno when in fact it could be 22mil with add ons or something silly. but for me to pay 12 for a player worth about 6 in davies is silly but if you bank the 12 mil saved and spend elsewhere fine.. the thing is though... we don't need to do we....
Then use the brain that you are supposed to have in your head and look at the number of young players of his type who have failed to fulfil their talents. Then use your eyes to actually read what I have been saying. There's a good boy!
We don't need to what? I'd say that it's a priority position. Who knows if Enrique will be good enough after a year out. He had his weaknesses anyway. Top notch full backs are worth their weight in gold....The real question is, do we think he's that good. If yes, get the deal done....buy him and move on. If no or not sure, wtf are we doing there anyway!??
I don't understand the way the committee decides the maximum value of a target. I have no idea why we would sanction spending £25m on Lallana, a very good player but in position we already already have talent but not go in with a £25-30m offer for someone like Ricardo Rodriguez, who is a top, top class player, only 21 and plays in a position we really need filling.
--------Ramsey---Khedeira------ -Sanchez------Ozil------Cazorla- --------------Giroud------------ Plus Walcott, Wilshere, Arteta. DAMN! BUT! It still lacks goals.
Rodriguez would be a great signing. Am not sure we actually had anyone for Lallanas position...who I also think will turn out to be a great signing. Moreno is our #1 target obviously, it's just a game of cat and mouse I hope. I'd hate to have to settle for second best in key positions!
Or you could drop Giroud and play Walcott, and either have him with his pace upfront or play Sanchez up there and have Walcott on the wing. Either way it looks scary, especially if they're able to add a top quality striker.
