skarroki Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I don't think it's that much, I don't trust McNulty with fees. Even if it is, as long as it doesn't stop us getting other targets cos we overspent here, it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, Mat Kendrick's Dentist said: I don't think the market is 'Ollie Watkins for £33m' level of insanity. Quality strikers have been moving for £15m this window. We seem to be limiting ourselves to the Championship, spending the best part of £50m on Cash and Watkins alone! Neither of them have played in a top-flight. Nor have either of them ever been capped at any age level! Obviously I hope both players are successes but this is a bonkers way to spend so much money Bold part a) But the fee is £28m? Bold part b) Who?

KentVillan Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) We’re reaching that point in the night where you accept you might be going home with someone you’ll regret in the morning.

Rodders Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I mean for that fee it's really not unreasonable to insist they take Hogan back too Edited September 8, 2020 by Rodders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 I'd rather have Watkins up front than not, we are in no position to walk away here! 30 odd million...then so be it! I'd hope those add ons are connected to solving world hunger or discovering the meaning of life though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned before but Wolves paid £35M for a youth the other day. Watkins is about 30% of what we needed this window, getting him for less than £30M is going to be a steal if he bags 15 goals this season - I think he will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 100% something about foreign players rather than players from the Championship that people are happy with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 Given that we’ve had competition for most of our targets (assuming at least some of the media stories are true), I guess the fee is understandable. Demand goes up, fees go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
