Yeah, but I was just trying to offer Magdad a glimmer of hope, so that he lowered his guard right before landing the sucker punch transfer announcement.
Think we might struggle to get that for Targett, with his recent injury woes. The others though, yeah. Hopefully more than that for Barnes and possibly even a little more for Dubs, considering we had around a £7m offer for him last year.
Yeah, about £5m tops for Targett I would guess, maybe less. Most likely either one of the newly promoted teams, or as a back up to other PL teams. Maybe even a drop to championship if he just wants to play. Pity, he potentially could have been good here but never really had a proper chance due to injuries. Now he wouldn't get a look in.
I guess that would be more to replace in terms of squad depth - especially factoring in Wilson has already gone. So we'd need a few extra players in. At very least for midfield, if both Longy & Willock did go.
Fans of the cartel clubs can't wrap their heads around us having both Isak and Ekitike and not selling Isak, they better start believing it.
It makes the signing all the better, just for seeing their initial disbelief and then ultimate realisation that we will be a threat.
£69.4 million. Bearing in mind they want £83 million Euros - £72.04 million it's not far off. It's apparently due to the payment terms. They want the full fee rather than add ons.
So turns out Frankfurt have accepted the price - £69.4 million. We have offered instalments with add ons. They want either full fee up front or larger instalments over a smaller period of time. That says to me it's very very close.
Burnley are mad asking for over £30 million for an effectively unproven keeper not matter how good he is.
Sky are reporting at 1pm today that we haven't actually put in any kind of offer. Last night TMC were reporting an agent was in town to finalise the deal. I have little optimism that this will come off. Obviously (thanks to gushings of praise the bloggers have all been stating about the player's ability) I hope my pessimism is misplaced.
Yeah, sounds like they want closer to £40m. That puts him in about the top 5 most expensive goalkeeper transfers in the world ever. He's only played 28 PL games, rest in championship, or lower leagues.
I don't trust anything Sky says to be fair. David Ornstein/ Florian Plettenburg are the ones to listen to.
Yup. We are rightly refusing to pay it. Burnley need to realise that they risk unsettling Trafford as he wants to leave.
Liverpool have "enquired" over Isak, not bid. They suggested £120 million and we have told them not for sale.
