useless Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 If Maguire goes for £80m then he'll break the transfer record for an English player by £31m, which shows that you can't really compare current prices to past transfer fees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated I couldn’t believe anyone was less than thoroughly delighted. You said “ who are these people” I quoted your Post which people can judge for themselves whether it showed you as being “ thoroughly delighted”. I Then also asked if you were indeed “:thoroughly delighted” ( you gave a a rather feeble answer, which, again people can judge for themselves whether you seized the opportunity to express your “ thorough delight”.) Then you told me I’m sarcastic. You didn’t have to ask me” who are these people”....you couldve said nowt. You could’ve stuck by your guns and said “ I’m not thoroughly delighted”. Or you could said I’d misunderstood the bit I quoted and said you are thoroughly delighted. Instead, you’ve tried to have all three, and then had a go at me aswell. Yawn, keep digging. Weird that it's not my money but I shouldn't have an opinion on it yet you seem very opinionated about people being concerned about the amount spent and pretend things have been said that haven't. Very childish behaviour indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I don't have much idea these days about what represents a reasonable market valuation for players, it all seems very unpredictable. From the evidence of the last few months, I think the people in charge seem to have thought carefully about their business strategy, and it really doesn't seem like the random decisions we have seen before. So if they think this is a good way to spend limited resources and won't cause problems with making other necessary signings or with FFP, fair enough. I'm glad it's not my call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its relevant when you highlight certain parts of a sentence to imply something other than was put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well please explain why bournemouth not wanting him should then lower the fee. We either sign him for this amount or we don't. Its really as simple as that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ciggiesnbeer Posted July 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2019 Mings is worth that amount to us. He has room to improve, settled at our club, fits Smiths style perfectly, never panics and has excellent distribution. Where else are we going to get someone like that? Hope its true and he is with us! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 2 hours ago, brummybloke said: 3 1/2 rough years, hes matured and a great player for us but the facts are he cost 8 million and didn't play more than a handful of game in those 3 1/2 years. £8m 3 and a 1/2 years ago is probably the equivalent of £20m now in terms of football inflation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in fairness he’s what I would have classed as a £10m 3 years ago. But I can live with the fee, I think he has a significant positive impact off the pitch to which is worth £10m alone as it will be tough next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 It seems utterly mental that it costs 20m to buy a Premier League reject defender but great news all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
