[Albion] Charalampos Kostoulas - 2007 Greek forward

[Flounce]

Who knows if the young kid is worth it? Quite a few on here thought we’d had our trousers pulled down by Leeds in the last summer window for Rutter

 

[Machiavelli]

Didn't Wolves pay £50m for a teenager that failed badly a few seasons ago?

Watford paid c£30m for a teenager a few seasons ago. Name of Joao Pedro.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That's a lot of money for a 17 year old!

Crazy money, just hope he doesn't do an Evan Ferguson, and his form falls off a cliff.

 

[Justice]

Yes.
He is a PROVEN striker in the EPL (and Europe) and he has broken into the Brazil squad. He's 22. He has shown leadership qualities and clearly has a will to win.
How much did ManU pay for Hojland? Pedro is a better player. If Delap didn't have a £30m release clause Ipswich would be asking double. We were talking £100m for Ferguson a year ago.

Anyway my point was the club NEVER divulge what they believe a player to be worth, hence this is made up bullshit.

For £80m I’d rather have Marmoush than Pedro up top.
As for Manure they always over pay for middling players not a great example.

 

[southstandandy]

Sounds expensive.

 

[Mellotron]

Of course, there is always the danger we could land him but then do a Gyokeres on him...

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Apparently, the deal is in jeopardy because they are waiting for a feta offer.

 

[Machiavelli]

More Greeks. £30m Euros for this one.

"very close...negotiating bonuses"

Pretty sure you started a thread containing details of player contracts. Any chance that you can bounce that please? It'll be a helpful guide to clear up any misunderstandings over the next few months.

Now also being reported by Ornstein, who says Olympiacos are expected to reject the bid of £30m plus Sima.

 

[Bakero]

I hadn't heard of him before this morning but now I want him with all my soul and will be devastated if we miss out.



Well, mildly disappointed.

We'd not be offering Sima if he didn't want to go and if Olympiacos weren't interested in him.

I hope we are getting close capturing him but the fee will need to be higher.

Watford paid c£30m for a teenager a few seasons ago. Name of Joao Pedro.

Are you confusing "Watford" with "us"?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Didn't Wolves pay £50m for a teenager that failed badly a few seasons ago?

Not just them. Every time somebody mentions the name Rhian Brewster, I remember that we were supposedly in that auction too, and feel somewhat grateful that we missed out.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Watford paid c£30m for a teenager a few seasons ago. Name of Joao Pedro.

Palace paid over £20m for 19yr old Matheus França, who has made <checks> twelve appearances in two years, scoring one goal against...er...Southampton. The deal includes a clause that says Palace have to make additional bonus payments to Flamengo if he wins the Ballon d'Or.

I'm not joking about the clause.

We bought a highly rated Polish wonder kid a few years ago. 17 years old Rated one of best in Europe. , never played for the club.
Now with a random Turkish club

So huge gamble on this 17 year old.

Don't worry about it. Wait until after the game on Monday. All the body language experts will be able to tell us who's staying and who's going.

We bought a highly rated Cameroonian wonder kid a few years ago. 18 years old. Rated one of the best in Europe. Played for the club 57 times so far and is rated one of the best midfielders we've ever had with potential to be even better.

Works both ways.

If the club doesn't land him, heads should roll.

Going to be completely honest here and say this seems excessive. I don’t know what proportion of the summer budget this constitutes, but it feels a bit mental that we’re spending this much on another child attacker given the state of our defence. That is where the bulk of the money needs to go.

Who else on our books attacks children
