Id be shocked if we aren't willing to pay more for Mika, hes a topper striker by all accounts. You don't get a lad like that for 20 million euros unless theyre in the last year of contract or playing in Belgium or Holland...itd be daft for us not to pursue a deal for 26 million quid.

I can see the budget being true. We likely can only spend like 50-100m more without starting to push it.

We need a GK, CB x2, DM, Maybe a RW and a ST

And surely they wouldnt be able to stick exactly to that valuation, theres certainly a deal to be done imo.

We may well be negotiating and 20 is our first offer

I believe it will be around 80-90m left to spend without any other major sales:
GK - 20m
CB - 20m
CB - 15m
DM - Free?
RW - loan
ST - 25m

10m to **** around and find out.

So if the budget is only €20m for a striker I can see us signing a young talent who’s played some senior games from Belgium or France. Similar to Talbi. Who can come in a compete with Isidor and Mayenda rather than displace them
There’s a part of me that would like to see us put the £8m or so down that it would take to get Richard Kone. Something about those late bloomer players that come out of nowhere. Could be a bit of a Collymore.

I'm of the opinion we have progressed well past his level, would have been a bit nervous in the champo. But its undeniable players like that are great fun to see rise, althoug are you a late bloomer at 20 haha.
