Good keepers cost money. It should be such an easy position to fill but we haven’t had a keeper that can go into the starting XI without even thinking or worrying about it since Brad Friedel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wezbid Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 Why is £20-25m mad for Butland yet the same for Wesley was being hailed? They're both really important positions. Butland has shown his worth in the top flight and had a good season despite the rest of the team not. Butland is a far safer bet than Wesley yet far more questioned. Is the top league of Belgium that much better than the Championship? I don't say all that to demean the Wesley transfer, more try and put some perspective into things as a whole. Just like Grealish isn't a Championship player despite playing there the last 3 years, neither is Butland. He'd be 30/31 if he signed at the end of his contract. There's absolutely re-sale value there as a keeper since they go way longer. In 4 years time, average keepers in the UK top flight will be closer to £50m. Danny Ward went for £12m, previously and he's barely done sod all. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 At 26, I think the owners are more encouraged by the possibility of a sell on, safety net .....so the money spent may be more, but possibly a safer bet. We have been flirting in the past with older players that have no sell on value and there is no asset value .....I think the new administration are not encouraged by that. Also, the younger players are more on the same wave length with each other and its better for team spirit and bonding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2019 I like the idea of throwing £20 mill at 'spine' positions - seems a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If we can get 5-7m for kalinic then this deal only cost us 13m if we pay 20m for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Considering we paid £5-6m or something like that for Kalinic 6 months ago... Maybe we can buy some £100m player this summer and then sell him for the same in January, then we could get 2 £50m players for free That's how it works right?

Andy Carroll cost -£15m due to Torres sale. Making him the best transfer of all time. -£15m! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
