The players wouldn't live in Birmingham anyway, they'd live in the lovely suburbs out in Sutton Coldfield or somewhere of that ilk. It’s the bigger than that, it’s the lifestyle, its history, cultural offerings, restaurants, ladies, etc Brum Vs LDN would definitely be a factor to some players.

I reckon London is more appealing for the younger outgoing footballer. For the sensible (Boring) ones or family type Birmingham is just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Steero113 said: Totally totally this. Bought Wesley at 22. Belgian league, came up through the playoffs so always going to be hard for us to do well (most go straight back down). Guy gets 5 goals in 21 starts including 3 winners and is branded as a total waste of time/money when he gets a career threatening injury just as he was starting to look the part (much faster than Douglas Luiz did)... Like anyone we buy who isn't 16/17 years old would be given anything like 2 years!!! Id say with Wesley Its not so much about his goal return for me its the way in which he played, i.e touch, movement and ability to test the keeper and he didn’t impress in either department and even with improvement i cant see that changing him drastically enough where that turns him into a decent premier league forward, i would love him to be the striker we paid for but having a gifted eye for gauging talent and potential he wont reach that level we need him to be. I am happy for him to be the striker we throw on with 15 mins left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Doesn’t sound like we’re in for Aarons then, you’d be able to get Cash for 13-15m. Just get it down, what’s the hold up? If they’ve scouted him and they want him, just sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely 2 people get on the phone. One from Villa, one from Forest. The dude from Forest has a value for what they'd accept for him. The dude from Villa would know what we're willing to pay. Villa: We'll pay £8m plus addons Forest: No we want 12 Villa: We'll pay £9m plus addons Forest: No we want 12 Villa: Villa: We'll pay £10m plus addons Forest: No we want 12 Villa: Okay we'll walk away then. I have no idea if it is how football works, but the press make it sound like bidding for players if a big official process which takes forever to complete. Like, you have to first consider the bid, prepare the bid and then launch your bid. When in reality I've always just imagined it to be two dudes getting on a phone and having a chat and agreeing a price before a bid even gets launched. The whole idea of formally making a bid before you even know if it's going to be accepted is just odd. Unless it's similar to buying a house where you go through a middle agency to buy players? The whole thing is just weird. Ramble over. Edited August 28, 2020 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff will buy him for 15m and he will be worth 25m next summer but he is only worth 10m. Out valuations are based on an FM07 save game. It is embarrassing at this point. Business last summer and last Jan gave us 30 odd points and here we are again dicking about with insulting offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
