Especially nowadays. Once the bid is in the player has likely already agreed to terms. Meaning Hughes for example probably wants to come it’s just get the finances with Wigan right
Probably down to payment structures and add ons. I bet the total amount for Hughes is fine for Wigan but they probably want more upfront in terms of cash flow
There's a world of difference between "Agreed a fee" and "Have signed." Hopefully he wants to come and a "More attractive" move doesn't gazump us on this one.
Just on the last page people were suggesting that these days bids aren't made without broad acceptance of terms with the player, but I do think it's somewhere in the middle and unless another club matches, there's all likliehood he's ours in the next few days.
Agreed. His goals to games ratio at all levels isn't anything special. And he's not tall enough! On the plus side he is an actual striker. And a full Ghanian international. Albeit one game last month in which he came on in the 89th minute
I think it's underestimated this summer how little money for transfer fees is in the Championship. It usually starts with the parachute clubs and trickles down to the rest but they aren't spending. It's quite an advantageous market for us. I think this is far more sensible than Moore too
He might not have the best scoring record but he does replace some of the goals we've lost and by most accounts, beyond the goals is a player who's fast, strong, giving everything in every match and it's always good to have someone like that around.
I think Asante is one of those strikers who brings just as much off the ball as they do with. Like a Shane Long. If he can chip in with another 11 this season I’ll be happy. I was under the impression WBA were quite negative under Corberan so hopefully he can kick on further
