I suppose that’s half the problem, do we spend 1/5 of our budget on one player? If the resale value is say 50m, then great. But do we have a squad so threadbare we can’t afford that outlay on one player. No way will our spending be capped at £50m. You can probably double that. Just buying the loan players will be close to £30m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buying the loan players will be close to £30m yeah, to cover all the gaps in the squad i can see us spending 100m quite easily. i think the minimum we could get away with is 80m odd, we almost need a whole new team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to buy him, but 20m (I think they want even more) is a lot on one player when we have to buy 10 at least. Tough call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on current market I think he is worth 20m on the condition he is fit after his ankle surgery. I’d much rather we sign him than Bowen or Lolley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the late Trevor Hockey? Hard as you like, but an impressive beard and unlike the Snake, I rather liked him. I'm 40 mate so Trevor Hockey was before my time. It does show that it has been quite some time since we had a player like that. I always remember Robbie Savage at small heath, everyone hated him and you wouldn't say he best/most technically gifted player in the world, but he was so important in that sha team. Maupay certainly has that nasty steak in him which i think is so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is accurate it WILL happen!! I hope we just let them keep a slightly unhappy player and move on. There's easily better purchases to be har in Europe. Time for the scouting department to do their job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first sliding tackle was so late the player had gone before he got there! There was an audible gasp. Happy days!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t sign him mate another Premier League club will and we’ll one day be talking about the player we missed out on. Id happily wager a bet on that with anybody.

There's easily better purchases to be har in Europe. Time for the scouting department to do their job. This what i love about the transfer window. Social media is dribbling over some Spanish kid that finished 14th in La liga for a reported £25m but think a kid that has proven he can play in England is overpriced. When we are rumoured to be after the likes of the Brentford boy we get people saying 'why can't we get them before they cost £20m, but if we signed 10 players for £3m each we would be going crazy.
