I'm no businessman, but why would they even bother making such a daft offer? They can't be that naive. I know there's haggling, but a £2m bid would just send out the message they aren't really bothered if they get him or not. Lazy journalism.
Maybe. We'll need strikers and Hooper's as good as we'll get IMO but aren't we getting a bit light in defense? Robertson's expected to leave.
I think a lot will depend where we are at Xmas, if we are going well then he may stay if there is a good chance of us getting back up.
This^ I can't see anyone taking such a risk this summer. As with Jelavic, if a club decides to sign him, then they will feel confident he will be able to play, so should pay what we and they feel to be fair. You can't ask for a reduction because you think the player might be damaged goods. If you think his knees might be ****ed, you don't buy him.
If we accept a deal at 9million Euros at current exchange rates we would get £6.38 million.....as it is an Italian club it is highly likely any fee would be in Euros If the Euro crashes as a result of for example a Greek exit.....exchange rates go from current levels to say 2 Euro to the £ ....we only get £4.5 million
Any deal like that would have a fixed exchange rate to be agreed before the contract was signed, as is done for virtually all business contracts involving currency exchange.
Any deal we will set in our own currency and they will pay that. That is how virtually all transactions go. We don't go to Italy and buy things in sterling do we? Nor do they come here and pay in euro's.
Agreed John. There are certain teams and you think fair enough if he went to a Boro or Ipswich. If not its just money.
It also says that we are offering him a new deal: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-linked-move-premier-9542943?
The problem with sending him out on loan is that when they have seen him play they proberley won't want him
