MolOverBeethoven Placid I dont blame any player for moving for money Nor do I. But recognise it for what it is. A performance based financial contract only. Fuck one-sided sentiment.
CBIT space We spent £18m on a defender 26 years ago, £34m is probably the going rate now for someone decent
Djpekingman 34 mil to fill an 18 mil hole. I hope he's 16 mil's worth. Mind you, it worked with wobblygob. All we need is a good publicist and a gullible yank billionaire and we'll be quids in. Oh......
king_of_the_slums Djpekingman Pascal is a >30m defender, albeit he goes down to 18m with 12 months on his contract, just like Wilson is a >40m midfielder and we got him for a 6m sign-on
Djpekingman Harvest Was not Massimo in charge of Sassulo when that was signed? I seem to remember something like that. Or maybe I made it up? Who cares. Not me.
king_of_the_slums This Tarik lad's stats are better than Pascal's, one of the best LCB / LB in Serie A, just turned 23 so lots of headroom. Can do a job if we get a silly bid for Gabi too
Raposa king_of_the_slums This. If he does sign you’d hope and expect he’s an upgrade on Strujik. If that’s the case it’s money well spent.
Chopper_Read MolOverBeethoven What's the budget this Summer? We still need a GK, LB, and a CF at least! If we can get rid of the deadwood then that helps, but it is not as easy as that.
king_of_the_slums MolOverBeethoven loving this, brick wall at the back, a la Arsenal, get that right and the midfield have to do less defending
king_of_the_slums Harvest He was a 6m make do in the first year (if it works, great), we need better. The Bosnian now owns Pascal, Barn Owl and in some ways Gabi's space on the pitch, but like Bijol he'll need to get his head around what the PL means
