That's about the third time he's been wrong now. Either we're purposely leaking false information to him or we're just extremely water tight. Or both. Nothing gets out that they don't want to any more so on that basis I really think we'll sign someone who hasn't even been mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low hanging fruits such as Delafeo, Arrons, Cantwell and Dunk just as squad filler. Also you have talent from leeds who will undoubtably fall away again. Phillips won't want another pre season of fell running thats for sure. After that the marquee can begin! Brighton fans will be devastated to hear they've been relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before, but I wouldn't be surprised if we only used this to get other clubs to lower their demands. Would be strange for Villa to want a bid for King to get public after we just missed out on Wilson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he said something like we were ‘close’ to making a bid, like the classic ‘preparing’ headlines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its more likely he's picking up scraps from agents and the clubs on the other end of enquiries. Villa is clearly tight as a drum info wise. I don't think there's any question we want Watkins, as Percy reported, but the issue seems to be over valuation. With King it could be Bournemouth or his agent trying to whip up interest, but we probably have asked about his potential availability. Wouldn't surprise me if it comes out later that we never even bid for Wilson either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are well within their rights to charge what they want for their player. Also I think the tweet in the link was referring to Inter not wanting to meet the asking price for Sanchez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they wouldn't considering Manure were desperate to get rid of him and his massive wages, while Inter are likely less desperate to get rid of Sanchez.

The_Steve Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 27 minutes ago, El-Reacho said: Yeah - I remember one pundit saying that they're trying to break into the top four by buying players who've been deemed not good enough by the top four teams they've signed them from. Delph, Walcott, Iwobi, Gomes, Schneiderlin all prime examples. And I’m pretty sure that most of those names mentioned each cost over £20m each, even before you factor in contracts. Madness. It’s the lack of identity and coherent policy which has blighted us for years that I hope we are now over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the whole, "set to bid" statement lol. Obviously we've been on the blower notifying clubs and media we are in process of making a bid. "Just waiting for the Kettle to boil, but can you let everyone know". Bunch of clickbait clowns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know we've 'weighed' up and 'prepared' a bid before we 'table' our offer. Nice to see we're all set and prepared on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 these ITKs and reporters are amazing at stating who we haven't made a bid for but 'might be interested in' including: anyone any other premier league club might be interested in outside of the top 6 - especially if they know they are the type of player we need i.e. a striker anyone from Brentford anyone we've been linked to before regardless if that previous link was correct anyone any club home and abroad needs to sell any player anywhere ever - because sheer guess work is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory in The Athletic says we have bid closer to Arsenal's 20 mill asking price although he also says Arsenal will not let him go unless they can sign a desired replacement. I wonder if they fancy Nyland or Kalinc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
