Have to disagree as this is what you'd expect all clubs to say protecting their interests but once the player can smell the money in the Premier League it usually only ends one way!

In mid July, football writers revealed that (just) Hull and Albion were competing for Zohore.
I wonder what few would have landed him then?
Now Everton, Newcastle and Wolves get mentioned too.
Contrary to popular myth, it seems that there's hyperinflation of transfer fees towards 31 August. That might be a lesson learned for future windows.

If Dougie and Prince Charming pay Everton's asking price for Niasse, I genuinely believe it will be us doing the smirking. My main Everton source suggests that they can't wait to get rid of him and would have been happy to loan him out until other clubs created what they hope will be a bidding war.

Is that the same Warnock who said he was retiring from football management after QPR sacked him?

It's not Warnock who has to pay Cardiff's bills either.

Or who when interviewed on Radio Five Monday night was a tad noncommittal over departure's
And said in recent interviews that £20m plus to a top ten club is a possibility.
Warnock loves talking and appears to have given himself the equivalent roles of both Barber and Hughton.

You don't have to have the brain of an archbishop to realise this would be the case. It staggers me that anyone could have thought otherwise.

Has anyone actually said prices would go down. The point I have regularly seen made is that more players become available as the end of the window gets nearer due to their clubs signing other players. The idea that the club think prices will go down seems to be something put forward by those wishing to criticise them

Yes. Plenty.

Who? Where? I think it is largely a myth from one person being quoted.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Clubs like to buy new players before selling those who are no longer required, as not to be left with gaps in thier squads. If a club has a squad of more than 25 players, after buying replacements, at the close of the transfer window, those additional players without a squad number are a drain on the finances. So the nearer you get to the deadline, players without a squad number and who are no longer wanted will be open to offers, just to get them off the books. That is why so much business is done on deadline day, Agents hold out for better offers for thier clients and clubs are desperate to shift unrequired players who are on £30k+ a week.
As in any business negotiation, and in poker, you need to wait, hold your nerve and let the other guy fold first.
Obviously I doubt this is the case with Zohore, but it probably is with Niasse at Everton.

Here's the Warnock bit. Essentially Tan wanted to sell him to us after a £13.5m bid. Warnock wasn't having it.
£13.5m seems crazy money, even these days. He's had half a good season in the Championship, and has 1 in 5 this term.
Britt Assombalonga is of similar age and has a far better record at that level, and the Nottingham press reported that the fee for him was just over £10m with the rest made up of add-ons. Even makes Chris Wood look like good value IMO.

I'd agree
Seems unfair on Zohore that he won't get immediate PL experience because of a Warnock hunch.

Good management but then Colin is undeniably a good manager.
