Does £6 mil go a long way when you're shopping for strikers in the current market. Especially when people know you desperately need one.

not really no, like i said before, you cant' start money on the pitch, it's useless unless you actually get player with it,

if these rumours are true, he'd probably be getting a 500% pay rise
 
I think with letting Sagbo go at £6m, we'd be able to get another foreign striker for say £3-4m who's as good or better than him, considering he only cost us £1.5m.

But with Long, i think we need to replace him with someone familiar with the PL/english football, as we'd want at least 1 who we know would do well in the PL.

Im not sure if that makes sense, but it does in my head.<laugh>
 
Maybe a loanee on a wages only deal if we can't get a suitable permanent replacement. Then use the money in January.
 
I would be pissed if he went but £6million is just too good. We don't usually make that much profit on players we can't really refuse. And we can definitely splash out then.

To be honest we can afford to replace them. Jelavic is not brilliant but I never saw the point in having 4/5 strikers at a club. The most egotisical of positions and you expect 2 or 3 to be bench players, never a good combo.

Also we have too many attacking midfielders. Ince, Aluko, Quinn, Snodgrass. We djust need to get one standout striker who will play every game and have Jelavic as back up or partner.

Nonsense. <doh>
 
More's to the point. Why would anyone agree to put a £5m release clause in the contract of premier league striker.

Find it hard to believe.

If my memory serves it took a few days to get over the line and it's something he wasn't willing to sign for us without having in place. I think I remember Brucey saying something along the lines of it's not ideal but he wouldn't sign without it.
 
one that's never played in the premier before last season.

Yes but you're surely signing him with the expectation he'd do a decent job. Then £5 mil becomes cheap.

Get Sagbo on next months **** thread.
