I don’t really know anything about him but I do trust Smith, he has a good eye for a player I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If anything is coming its Butland surely: Stoke buying a new keeper, us sending Sarkic out,, Delphinho suggesting we 'strap ourselves in' on Wednesday. Its got to happen hasn't it. Hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Walk away. If Mepham is worth £12m then so is Webster. Not a penny more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Just our luck, we get kicked out of the Premier League when the TV money goes from £30m per season to £100m per season, then we get promoted having let all our players wind down their contracts and Championship players start at £30m.... Its like selling your house for £300K waiting three years to get back on the ladder and the same house now costs £1m and your equity won't buy sh*t. Or, Lerner arriving with £70m when the Saudis land a day later and pump £300m raising the bar and kicking you into touch. Just our luck I guess Edited June 26, 2019 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It stands to reason that we are going to be held to ransom by these tinpot championship clubs It will come to a head in the last few days of the window 30m for championship players is far and above daylight robbery whilst proven players can be gotten for half that on the continent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely try and whack on a few hundred or more and they’ll close it straight away. I'm not willing to find out I imagine it's taken multiple bets of multiple hundreds to get down to 1/8. Surely some people aren't betting £200+ on a hunch. They must know something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Keyblade Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Is 12m really that much for one of the best CBs in the Championship? We paid almost that much for Curtis Davies over a decade ago when the market wasn't as wild as it is now.

I think it’s a ploy to get Mings, Bournemouth now scare themselves and think we are now looking elsewhere and accept our 12m offer. Easy. Well played Smith/Suso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders0223 Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 As a Championship club fighting off vultures trying to sign your prize asset. "Who do they think they are, it's disgusting, PL is disgusting, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and those not at the top are getting left behind., the money should be shared evenly, it's disgusting, a disgrace" As a PL club trying to sign the Championship's best youngsters.

That was a terrible deal at the time And Bristol said no to our £12m offer now and are asking £30m I just don't want us to be held hostage by a bunch of Championship clubs, it's just not value for money most times.

No idea how many bets have been placed, but on Oddschecker it states 83% of the popular bets on him are on him joining Villa, so it could easily be the quantity of people placing bets on him joining over the amount of money that's brought the odds down.
