They reckon £5m straight cash will get our man.

Have you all added an m after the figure by mistake? There is no way he is worth anything like a million pound especially if Uwe is nearly back I would say about £750k top whack. Tommy Elphick went to Villa for alleged £3m and he is not half the player Tommy is about the same standard as his brother Gary.

Just curious, but how many times have you seen Duffy play?

We need somebody in quick, Argus are saying Ince is cover for the CB position and that will cost us dearly judging by last nights performance if he was to play there (or anywhere).

Not many but what I have seen has left me with the impression that he is overvalued.

Just like every experienced player at this level, including our own.

They are over valued because people are prepared to pay the price if nobody paid those fees the prices would drop by the supply and demand criteria.

Very odd potential signing unless Dunk is off or Goldson going to be out for 2-3 months longer.
Effectively spending 4M + 20K a week for someone to be on the bench.

Thats what u have to do these days for proper strength in depth
Having a few 100k signing for the bench is not strength in depth

Is there another Goldson lurking in the lower Division worth taking a chance on rather than spend £4m on a possible bench warmer
squad game.
need good back up even as a sub to go up from this div.
He'll get game time over the season.
Lets move on from this small club mentality

Cant argue that that is what is killing the market plus must win supporters and chairmen out to provide it.

He's never worth 4m,would rather we went after Mawson at Barnsley,or back in for Martin.

How is it odd? Granted 4m is over and above my valuation, but then that is the market we are in.
You must remember last season? We had to bring in Caldy and Ince, we brought Goldson in for wolves/boro and beyond where he thankfully stepped up, we played Murphy as a no.10 when none of our strikers were fit, we had to bring in GG at the tail end despite not getting a game for months on end, we were playing Wilson who looked knackered after a 30 yard dash and the absence of Kayal or Stephens usually meant a point was a good result even at home.
We need strength in depth, and that means players like Duffy on high wages sitting on the bench ready to step in if necessary and/or part of a rotation. It would be nice to be able to do what Burnley did and almost play the same 11-13 all season, but for most clubs vying for promotion it's not going to be possible without squad depth.

I know I will get slated but wouldnt we be better off with an old head like Wes Brown just to sit on the bench or be backup if needed or go to Arsenal Spurs or Chelsea to see what young players they have available for a loan rather than pay £4m. Why did we let GG go if that is the role that is envisaged for Duffy.
