AntrimBlack Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Delph is definately worth 20 million. Even rubbish English players get close to 10 million. Hes still 25 and has a four year deal. I have a feeling some team has met the Benteke clause (probably when it was initially announced) and have agreed to keep it quiet until we do our business like Tottenham did before they eventually sold Bale. Its too quiet.. even from Bentekes side/agent. We are bidding big chunks of money at a fullback (Amavi) and a goalkeeper (Begovic). We have a team to rebuild and Tim and Tom probably know they will only get about 15 million to spend normally. So if they get 30 from Benteke.. 40 million to spend sounds reasonable. So then what do we need? Were obviously in the market for a goal keeper and a full back. Goalkeeper 7 million. Right back 7 million. Left Back - 5 million Centre back 4-5 million. Midfielder 10-12 million Striker 10-15 million. Second striker 5-6 million. Will that be enough? I would think if Benteke goes we need two strikers. Austin and maybe a potential overseas gamble like Benteke was. So thats possibly around 50 million to spend. I assume we will sell Guzan for a smallish fee. 2-3 million.. probably back to the states. Gil 2-3 million. Senderos very minimal fee. 1-2 milllion. If Benteke isnt sold.. then we are in trouble... Of course all this changes if we have a new owner who wants to spend say 25-30 million. Either way.. it will be an interesting summer. Now that is what I call real speculation. You are in the the right thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If lollolna and henderson are in the 20-25m bracket surely delph is at least the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2015 Delph would be mad to go to Man City in a euro championship year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wonder if Southampton are interested when Schneiderlin goes to Man U, and if Delph would go there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I worry about the message that will be sent out to potential signings that the sales of Benteke and Delph will send. May do a lot more damage than just not having them two in the team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm clinging to the rumour announced about a week ago, about Liverpool bidding 12 mil plus Borini and Ibe (on loan) for Delph, as hope that there isn't a 10 million buy out clause. Unless they were paying the unnecessary 2 million for us to take Borini off their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What is Nursey's track record like? Because I consider the Mirror as a whole even less reliable than the likes of goal.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What worries me is that it's such a random thing to have (value wise) in is contract that it seems true. End of the day the Delph has the option of not wanting to go, what annoys me is that these journalists/pundits just assume he'd want to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May do a lot more damage than just not having them two in the team next year. Awful of late. He had an "in" under Faulkner I believe, or perhaps exclusively Lambert, but I don't think he's nailed anything under Fox/Sherwood. Percy is the man these days.

dudevillaisnice Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Spurs supposedly in talks with Victor Moses. I'd take him. I'd take him over Townsend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted June 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2015 Its odd because I don't think he is as good as Townsend. In fact, I don't rate him highly at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Fair enough. Game of opinions etc. For me he is better and works harder for the team. I think he will be a good signing for Spurs. Chelsea might command a big fee though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm surprised some people wouldn't want Townsend. Let's forget the fee for a second and remember he is 23 years old with 9 international caps. Surely he is not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Tottenham have apparently told him he isn't for sale and is part of their plans next season so hopefully we move on and look elsewhere anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Moses is better than Townsend. Although he can look very bad at times, he is decent technically. That's why Martinez liked him. He is capable of better end product also. Townsend lacks any intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
