Wes Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) VG.No reports that 28 year old Norwegian international Omar Elabdellaoui, who plays for Galatasaray at right back, turned down an offer from us. The same report says he also turned down offers from Fiorentina, Augsburg and Schalke,. Edit: This news appears to be a week old, but I hadn't seen it mentioned before. Apologies. Edited August 27, 2020 by Wes Looks to be an old report - sorry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less what they bid for Grealish. In fact I hope they keep low balling. We'll never accept them and laugh them off. I was only asking because 6m is not pocket money. I honestly dont know much about Swift but why say 6m is an insult? Is every player 20m at least now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play with 1 of the two best players in the world, be managed by one of the most legendary players in the game, and compete in the most prestigious club competetions etc? Yeah, what were we playing at? Well we tick the first box, the next two are a bit of a stretch for Jack and particularly for Dean, and he will only compete in one more prestigious club competition with Juve. We can't have wanted him, after all then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmirch Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Jed Wallace and Swift as squad players would be astute business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If we signed John Swift it would be to rival John McGinn nobody else. Personally, if it is less than £10m I'd be up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we're not able to attract the first choice players that we want. That is pure speculation though. We just need to keep improving every season really and slowly work up the table each season to attract better quality. I'm pretty positive we'll go into next season with a better squad than we did last. I don't think we'll be signing many exciting players though of a similar status as Rashica. But we'll see I guess.

Not if they turn out to be fantastic for us and double or triple in value within a season or two. Remember this is our model. We might not make the sexy statement signings we all want, but might still do some tidy business all around.

est1874 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 On the other hand, "on the verge of submitting a bid" is up there with "poised to test the resolve" in terms of utter speculative bollocks, so it could be totally baseless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering how that “model” is working for us so far. Just been mulling over the number of players so far that have (a) turned out to be fantastic for us and (b) doubled or tripled in value? Is this actually a model it just a pipe dream? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
