Park Life 71 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) If we're going to spend that kind of money then this is the man for our midfield. http://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/noblsp-ten-things-on-rb-leipzigs-new-african-star-naby-keita.jsp Edited May 17, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 £30m gauranteed goals and assists and addresses the huge problem we have at #10, where both options were disappointments even in the championship. I can't think of anybody better that we could get for less tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a good engine and can pass and tackle and burst forward from midfield. He would be a good 10 even though now he is a CM. Even though there are PL clubs sniffing we could guarantee him game time as our squad isn't that sophisticated or deep yet. Think Gylfi would require silly money.

Rayvin 6359 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Have to say we're far more likely to go for a foreign, overseas model. At £20m maybe we can make that work but still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll easily be £20m or more but he's fantastic Expand We're only discussing players we definitely won't get. Have you read the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of Rafa's big money signings were from the Premier League last time and I think that'll continue. Why gamble £10-15m and risk it going tits up? May as well pay the going rate for proven for peace of mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackie92 1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 On 17/05/2017 at 13:08, Howay said: Are they not asking something like 20m for Cairney? I'd rather us spend that money (plus however much over that) to get someone like Sigurdsson. Maybe Cairney could make the step up but I just feel we could attract players who have done it at the PL (or comparable) level. I don't really rate Mooy, from what I've seen of him I think Shelvey is better and as Andrew said younger. He'd be fine as back up (clear upgrade on someone like Colback) but I can't really see us spending 10m on a back up. Expand I think that was the inflated quote because it was the January transfer window. If we bid something like £10m then they would accept it - I don't think he would be worth it right enough.
