Villa have a long list of strikers as good and better than rhm over the years that never made it. His loan spell in league 1 was mediocre at best, and he hasnt managed to go more than a few months without injury to dare. I love your optimism, but you never back up your opinion with anything more than spurious observations that don't stack up when you look at the facts. Based on his performances at senior level he has shown nothing to suggest he is anything more that a squad player at champ level at best and league one also ran at worst. The kid would get eaten alive in the prem as he is extremely naive and we do not have the luxury of allowing him to learn on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t he their star player by quite some distance? I think there’s a sell on clause that Man Utd benefit from, which I guess would influence the price. They sold their right back for £50m, Zaha must be worth about £80m. It's **** nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring free transfers, under-21s and lower league players, here's what's happened so far (some of these fees might be wrong, just based on what I could Google): Bournemouth: Kelly (Bristol City) £13m Brighton: Trossard (Genk) £15m Chelsea: Kovacic (Madrid) £40m Everton: Andre Gomes (Barcelona) £22m Man Utd: Daniel James (Swansea) £18m Wan-Bissaka (Palace) £50m Southampton: Che Adams (Scum) £15m Djenepo (Standard Liege) £14m Danny Ings (Liverpool) £18m Watford: Craig Dawson (West Brom) £5.5m West Ham: Fornals (Villareal) £25m Wolves: Jimenez (Benfica) £30m Dendoncker (Anderlecht) £11m The lowest fee is £5.5m for Dawson, who is 29 and is never going to be anything special. Then it's Dendoncker, which does look like a good piece of business on Wolves part. But you can see that the fees we're paying are mostly at the lower end of the scale. I don't see any 20-30m championship players in that list. #muppetmediaOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 They had him last season on loan so probably doesn't influence our pursuit of Webster at all but Bristol City just signed Tomas Kalas on a permanent move from Chelsea at CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that the Belgian league appears to have the best value for the money at the minute Djenepo, Trossard and Dendoncker all look like they could be bargains for their quality and the price when stacked up against quality of the other deals. Hopefully Wesley too. Next year Trossard will be a good buy of Brighton go down (if we stay up) as he'll end up being available for £12m Edited July 1, 2019 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read when Manure signed Palace's full back for 50m, Palace tried to get Manure to agree to drop Zaha's sell on fee, Manure said....nopeski.

JamesBCFC Posted July 1, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Delphinho123 said: Just been on to my mate who’s a season ticket holder down at Ashton Gate and asked him about Webster. I’ll summarise. Great attitude. One of their most creative players (bizarre). Class above. Played in midfield on a few occasions and bossed it. Great passer. All seems positive. 30m is a bit steep but they just sold someone for 14m and my mate reckons Webster is twice the player he’ll ever be. Reported transfer of Kelly was £13m rising to £17m ITK person on our forum tells us it's £15m rising to £21m plus a sell on fee. The clauses for the extra £6m are at least partially related to England appearances. As a reference for this persons reliability, he told us Kalas would be signed today. Kalas's signing no indicator of anything to do with Webster as he's been a target since the end of the season. However this same person has also said next signing is likely to be Websters replacement. Whether that's an indicator of an accepted bid from Villa or someone else is the next question as Southampton have been sniffing around also.

I imagine that means webster is on his way. £7m real number, so if all of Websters clauses had been met he'd have cost us more. Buying Kalas unrelated to Webster, he was already a target. Cundy was signed from Bath and will likely be out on loan. Websters replacement already being approached if our ITK is to be believed and I'm not sure I've ever seen him get something wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
