Yes. It's what he's worth to us that matters not what he's worth to someone else.
All the time a PL clubs get £100m+ for staying up, it will never be worth a bottom half club selling. Zaha is too good for Palace, Grealish is too good for Villa. St Maximan is too good for Newcastle. Bissouma...
Agree with this.
A lot of deals where the headline figure is £35m fans in fact it's £10m up front, £10 in a year, 10m the year after and £5m if they play 100 games. (this is as good a reason as any not to sell to Palace)
We're in a strong position. Any proposal like this, TB can tell them to...
Clearly there will be huge interest and there are lots of unknowns, but I agree insofar as it's not the foregone conclusion everyone thinks it is
My thinking.
Transfer budgets from the big UK clubs will be down this summer. I reckon maybe two thirds to a half of what they would have been two...
I suppose the question is whether todays money is less than the money of 2 years ago.
I expect derisory offers at first and possibly transfer day brinkmanship.
Could be bad news. The fewer clubs bidding means a lower price
Could be good news. Liverpool might decide an alternative option is better value and so it increases the chances of him staying.
If we refused to sell White to Leeds, surely the same principle will come into play with selling to Arsenal?
They are now a club we have a realistic chance of finishing above aren't they?
Forget their history. They'll do well to make the top half next year.
If we're going to make top 10 and...
Nothing official.
Just a working assumption.
It may happen, but I'll bet that many of those stating that it has happening as fact, also stated that White was definitely leaving last summer and Dunk the summer before and probably won't own up to posting as such now.
What I do believe to be...
Will be interesting if Arsenal bid first, with a decent bid we'd accept (I suppose £45m+)
Would Yves accept personal terms with them? Knowing that better options are likely to show their hand?
Liverpool or PSG I think
Love that video. Love Bissouma. One of those rare players that the entire fanbase took to from the word go. Very much hope he stays and he's happy staying.
Will be wishing him all the best if he does go
A number of clubs are being linked yes, and let's say for a moment that the newspaper reports are accurate, that's still a world away from a bid which is likely to be accepted. These clubs will be operating a cluster policy, Biss will be on a list alongside Rice, Goretzka (sp) and certainly a...
