We have pulled out per the Argus. Someone else must be lined up.

 

[B.W.]

Argus out of line with other (more dodgy) sources... I'm unsure TBH...

SSN were still reporting we were after him yesterday, when they could be bothered to talk about anybody other than Chelsea, ManU etc.

It seems as if both Reading and Sheff Utd are taking TB to be a mug with their valuation of players. Perhaps we are having 2nd thoughts and looking elsewhere.for better VFM.

Iran? Ben White?

Or maybe more likely somebody none of us have ever heard of!

I really doubt that any Premier League club would take TB for a mug personally. They’d have to be mugs to do so.

That's their right. If you want to keep an asset you put a price on it which is too good to refuse.

So perhaps these Championship clubs are mugs!

Good point

If you want to sell you set a price that is too good to refuse!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Not always true

if you WANT to sell then you are more open to negotiation.

I don't WANT to sell my house at the moment so If a man walked up to me and said he'd pay the market price I'd say "not now. Thanks". Now if he came back and offered a stupid amount then I may sell as it's too good to turn down.

If I get to a point I WANT to sell then someone meeting it's market value may well see me sell.

Sunderland currently WANT to sell 4 players. They will take a much lower fee just to get rid of the bad eggs.

Yes, they will set (or accept) a price that someone regards as a bargain that is too good to refuse! If you don't want to sell, you set a price that anybody (in their right mind anyway) would refuse.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

If you don't want to sell, you set a price that anybody (in their right mind anyway) would refuse.

Again, not true.

The selling club's 'too good to refuse' is down to their circumstances, in no way can it be guaranteed that its too high for the buying team. The selling teams 'too good to refuse' will be what suits their balance sheet or the market that they operate in if they are looking to buy replacements.

If a League One team don't want to sell a player, they will set a figure which is MASSIVE to them......but someone like Man Utd could still quite easily pay it.

Say Peterborough had a talent they didn't want to sell. A £10m bid from Man Utd would probably be 'too good to refuse' but still affordable for a team like Man Utd financially.

Perhaps they have adopted the attitude of ' it is known BHA want another CB they will pay whatever we ask eventually' as TB is wealthy and throwing money around at the moment.

Going round in circles here. " If you want to keep an asset you put a price on it which is too good to refuse" is exactly the opposite of what you'd do! If you see something at a price which is too good to be true, you'd buy it, so it would be the last thing to do if you wanted to make sure nobody bought it. Think it through!
Anyway, I'm out of here.

 

[Wardy's twin]

If you don't want to sell you get a bensgrandad like character to sign on the club's football forum and just keep rubbishing the player.

I'm talking about from the sellers perspective. You're talking from the buyer's.

I don't want to sell my house. If someone asked what I would sell it for now I would quote a stupid figure which I simply could not turn down. Only someone desperate would buy it.

As you say, round in circles.

Quite possible.

I don't think Mr Wilder wants to lose his CB... not exactly a shock is it... if his Chairman likes our offer, JOC will be reporting for a medical at Lancing...
