I don’t think I believe that

So the mail says we have been quoted16m for Eze meaning you can get him for slightly less.... how much more enticing could a deal be for a player that good for gods sake

You would assume we spent the absolute maximum last year and again you would assume that with a higher wage bill the total would have to be less than last year but then we have an increased amount we can lose this year because of the change in division. Then of course it’s about how the owners want to move forward, way too many variables to know what the figure is

Yea but it could be the same as last year or it could be less. We really didn’t have a clue

No much of a risk when you have four keepers And he isn’t out for long

I definitely want him in the middle with 2 new wingers. also we don’t know what the budget is

Riiiight so someone who has so far succeeded in Spain at a top club will suddenly move back to England for an inferior team for what must be a fee similar to what Aarons would be and for wages of what? 150-200k?

McGinn has been a success in the league we can’t judge him on the period he was carrying and recovering from an injury.

Huh? McGinn would be a good example of what I was saying.

I have not watched Eduoard but he is apparently very good according to the media people and people on here. I can't get THAT excited though as its the Scottish league, I don't buy into the whole he could be a hit or a miss because it is that league if you watch him you can make a very educated guess. It could be a very important buy for us if he is as good as people say.

Oh FFS just sign or don't. I'm so over this now.

I would say to him we are going to start talking to other targets and give him 48 hours to decide. I do think he would be a great buy but we can't let the alternative players move like Eze.

Barcelona – £438m Man United – £332m Man City – £315m Real Madrid – £312m Liverpool – £310m Bayern Munich – £292m PSG – £290m (2017-18) Chelsea – £285m Juventus – £281m Arsenal – £230m That was 2019's top ten wage bills Our wage bill was way above 18 million as well, not sure where you got these figures from and 120k isn't a crazy wage now but the calibre of player is higher than him if you aren't just pissing the money down the drain. Look at the wage bills on that list.... you can't just commit massive wages willy nilly its where most of the revenue goes.

Just seen that Everton are offering Doucoure 120k a week I’m no longer interested if that’s the case I’d rather have McKennie

I’d check but I can’t be bothered

I thought it was for an illegal signing?

We want none of those types of players!

True but the buying club doesn't know how much money they need, if any.

They do have a lot of saleable assets they can do without though.

I would be happy to get that for him a million is the best we could expect

Rashica, Buendia and Watkins is quoted at 65m. You could get Eze and McKennie on top of those for the budget you mention at quoted prices

Depends on the formation you play I want 4231 so in that 6 players who can play or wide forwards or at 10. we have Jack who can play in all three of those roles and Connor and John who could play as 10. If you want to play the latter two as a 10 in a game you need a further midfielder for the 6/8 roles. You then need two wide forwards and keep the existing two.

Page 552 no signing... have I missed any news today?
