Pretty much this. We created nothing in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Not sure if this is old news, but just seen Chelsea and AC Milan links to him. Apparently a " strong target " consideration to replace Giroud. Via an Italian publication and Birmingham Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 There is zero chance that Milan will stump the money required to buy him. And Chelsea won’t see him as the right profile to sign either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Twitter today suggests we are some way apart: the club has offered 4yrs at £100K pw but Ollie’s camp are holding out for £160K pw. On this basis he is being sold. Edited September 23, 2023 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 It would be utterly stupid to sell him for the sake of a 60k differential unless we get a ridiculous 80m+ fee. Give him 130k a week with rest loaded on goal bonuses and everything will be fine. It’s an entirely reasonable request when others like Digne, Tielemans and Kamara are earning similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this basis he is being sold. He better start scoring if he wants that payday. Could understand his camp getting carried away during his run... But realism strikes again. Wants to be the highest earner. Club have to balance his demands against where it puts them in any other negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a point of contention, because Ollie has the history, but not the form to back it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he stays he's been class for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I wonder is Unai’s plan to spend big on an elite level striker next summer. Paying Ollie that level of wages might impact on those plans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a point of contention, because Ollie has the history, but not the form to back it. It’s actually not a lot of money relatively. It’s circa 3m a year x 4 year deal = 12m. To protect a very important asset easily worth 60 million+ in the current market. Give him 1.5m guaranteed and the rest on bonuses and everyone is happy. Club has zero wiggle room after paying Tielemans and Digne similar amounts and strikers would get more typically anyway. Get him wrapped up and then we should go and buy the striker we really need and keep Ollie as the perfect rotation option across all forward positions.

andym Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Against Palace, the missed chance when put through on goal by the defender was talked about a lot, but the worst thing of his in that game for me was when Cash whipped it in across the 6 yard box, and he just stood there and watched it. It went about a yard infront of him, get anything on it and its a goal. Just shows the lack of anticipation and awareness in the box compared to the next level up forwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is only about 5 in the entire world and we are down the food chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
