How can he issue a warning over a player we don't want to sell. We are reluctant to sell so the price is 10 million. If you aren't happy with that Pullis then do one Would be more appropriate if headline was Rangers issue warning to Pulis. 10m or feck off
I agree with the above on both accounts, but if Matt Phillips is worth £10m based on half a decent season, then my word! It's borderline sickening how the valuation of these players can be so high. But then again, if we benefit from it who am I to complain? I certainly would not pay £10mil for Matt Phillips, especially when Stoke are getting Xherdan Shaqiri for £12mil.
Who cares about what WBA say, nothing boring club. Pay up or **** up, same with Newcastle and Leicester.
Unless you know what the wages are, comparing transfer fees alone is misleading. Plus if one player the club is trying to get off their books and the other a club is trying to keep hold of.
Just seen this comment on West London Sport: "You don’t go into McDonalds and say “I’ll have a Big Mac Meal for £1.50 please … and if you won’t sell me one for £1.50 I’ll leave.” Or maybe that IS what Mr Pulis does!"
They are comparing QPR to one of the most identifiable and successful Global franchises? We've made it!
Trouble is QPR have generated a culture similar to TK Maxx so it's a big brand sale He has to be worth 10m in this crazy shop
It was more of a point of value for money Damage. I'd much rather pay £12million for an exceptionally good and proven talent than £10mil for a player who's had half a good season.
I'm a fan of Phillips but £10m looks ambitious to me. I'd like to keep him but I wonder whether we can afford to and I think that doing so, playing Championship football, might damage his medium term value. Equally, £7 million is probably a bit light - room for a compromise if we have to sell? £8.5 million anybody? Good to see we aren't getting shafted in the transfer market like we seem to have been in the past. So far.
One is a fully fledged Swiss international and won the CL with Bayern Munich and other is Matt Phillips who can't dribble a football. When it comes to what you actually get for your money....christ that's an enormous difference. No wonder Pulis baulked at the asking price.
But my point is that the transfer fee isn't the end of it. Say hypothetically Shaqiri signed on a 3 year deal for 70k a week and Phillips signed for 30k a week on a free year deal. Then as a package, Phillips is £14.5m and Shaqiri is £23m Those are hypothetical sums but my point is that looking at transfer fee's alone is misleading
Well Phillips is a Scottish international and obviously he can dribble. Senderos is also a Swiss international and Jesper Blomqvist won the chamions league. Just because Shaqiri is for different reasons going for less money than you might expect that doesn't mean a player who we aren't looking to sell has to have his price adjusted. Shaqiri won't go to West Brom so they have to shop in a different market
Really? I'd love to see a compilation of these dribbles because anyone with two eyes just saw the guy cross the ball at the first attempt every single time. And a Scottish international? with only 2 caps and no appearances since 2012? He's as much of an international as Jay Bothroyd was for England
If Matt Phillips gets sold for £10million and only gets a 30k a week contract; his agent is abysmal. Damage you could pick an argument with yourself in an empty room. You're trying to make a point by debating 2 completely separate points. In my opinion, 10million is probably overpriced for Matt Phillips in today's market. £12million for Shaqiri (in comparison) is better business. Also, on a separate note, saying WBA can't get Shaqiri; I wouldn't say they are a gulf in class below Stoke?
If players like Shaqiri were commonly available for 12m then you might have a case but that isn't the case. It's an anomaly. As has been mentioned, £8.5m might make more sense. But as we aren't looking to sell a premium on to of £1.5m isn't crazy. And after gettinf over his injuries and back in the side and playing it's a safe bet it will add to his caps.
I don't think it's an anomaly. Nani just went from United to Fenerbache for £4.25mil and had 3 years left on his contract.
