AshVilla Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 8 million could be used to put in a bid for Milner as he's only got a year left on his contract? And his 120k/week wages? If we somehow found buyers for Gabby and Bent that'd free around 100k a week? Good point. I wonder who is in the market for underperforming/shit strikers. Arry is interested in everyone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sure we will let Warnock have Bent for free. I'm sure Bent would love to move back to London but I doubt Warnock would be stupid enough to sign him unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sigurdsson Holtby Mutch Just 3 players that would have benefited us more than Cleverley and gettable. We penny pinch for years and have to pass on decent players and then spend £9m on this guy? I can't believe we would be that stupid. It is such a ridiculous waste of money. Throw the £8m at Spurs for Holtby FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've always felt that our midfield moves the ball too slowly, having watched the video, i can see that Cleverley moves the ball, and runs off the ball, quite quickly.We need that kind of player, whether Cleverley is worth £8m is another question, but even at that price it wouldn't be the worst signing we have ever made. Whether Gabby, N'Zog and Andi in front of him are good enough is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Would Holtby really be worth £8m? If we offered £8m for Holtby I doubt anybody would be debating about the price. He is a very good player and exactly the type of player we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I do wish we had bought Sigurdsson, or had Michu on loan though, good point rodders. Not over convinced by Holtby tbh, would prefer Cleverley to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Would Holtby really be worth £8m? I believe so. They only paid £1.5m for him, so they don't need to push it too high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If we are spending 8m pounds on Cleverley (highly doubt it's that much) then I don't understand why we didn't go for Sigurdsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 No point trying to buy from Spurs, they rip you off. I remember them wanting £10m for the likes of Krancjar, Jenas and Bentley. A loan for Holtby or Dembele would suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
