He is talking shite, £40 million would make him the joint 7th highest fee ever paid by a French club, so Marseille and Lyon aren’t fishing in that pond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund couldn’t afford the £30m for an established player in Sancho. No fucking way are they spending an extra £10m on a largely untested kid. They sell sketchy youngins for that amount, they don’t buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1224 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I can't think of too many non premier league clubs who are spending £40m on a untested kid other than Real, Barca, Bayern and PSG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7008 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Apparently we value DCL at £20mil and Minteh at £40mil. Thats taking the piss tbf Probably about right for DCL, but not for a kid with one season under his belt in a farmers league. Also makes me worry how big our PSR hole is!

This is the Swiss Ramble from last week where he went through every PL club in a really long, detailed post, and said who still had work to do, and to what extent. See the number at the bottom - he has us about £44m short. The fact that we're valuing Minteh at around 40m would suggest he's not far off.

aimaad22 4145 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 7 hours ago, David Kelly said: I get what you're saying there, but even then we're essentially taking a risk that we took when we had no money or prospects to hope that we get someone who can replicate what Wilson has done for us. Surely there are better options out there, especially if we're talking £35m? And yes, Wilson or DCL, is not enough backup for Isak alone. We need a 3rd choice striker too. I'm under no allusions that we can get players like Sesko to come and play as backup, but Gordon/Joelinton/academy players aren't up the job. Of course we're very early into the transfer window so we may well have a plan for this. But again I'd prefer not to be replacing a crock with a crock. I wasn't aware they were asking for 35M for DCL I was thinking maybe 20M for him and shipping Wilson to Saudi for 25M would be a shrewd bit of business. And aye, totally agree we need a 3rd striker, especially if the first two have a history with injuries. An up and coming young one from Europe or South America I suppose.

Howmanheyman 32824 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Yesterday we're apparently in for DCL and selling Minteh to them. Today.... It's so transparent. Didn't see much about hotel sales? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see much about hotel sales? To be fair, Villa and Chelsea have been selling academy players to one another for £20m each the past few days. I think it's in response to that, although no question we were planning on doing the same with Minteh/DCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7008 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Odd that Lyon are interested in Minteh. They've got an agreement to sign this Ghanaian RW for €25mil apparently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Nuamah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10776 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Another problem with PSR is that because everybody's financials are publicly available, it massively weakens the selling club's position. If everyone knows we're in the hole to the tune of £40m they can hold us to ransom, and the sharks will circle for our star players. If we need to sell in the next 5 days to get under our PSR limit a bid on the final day of June for Bruno, Krafth*, or Almiron* is more likely to be begrudgingly accepted. * just in case any top DoF's are reading 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1224 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 What is the penalty for not complying? If it's a six point deduction, we'd be better off just taking that rather than selling Bruno. I mean since he's signed, how many games have we won when he's not played? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
