Woody1000 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think we missed our chance to sign him last summer, with Spurs and Chelsea interested I don’t fancy our chances with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very sceptical of these so called "talented players", not slagging off talent by the way.....but when they get in the Prem, that talent dissipates.....that is my overall worry. I think we are smitten with Brentford and I think it is possibly a mistake. Totally agree with your view he also turns 25 in a matter of weeks, he isn't some young kid, he doesn't seem to have pace of any note and then you look at the price tag and think who else can I get for that? Those players have less flaws and more virtues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly did miss the boat due to allegedly not wanting to pay our asking price, as it has now doubled, but If you believe the latest press reports AC Milan have now entered the race for his signature, Where did that come from? do journalist have nothing better to do than make these stories up, so far the following clubs have shown an INTEREST in signing him: Celtic, Villa, Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, W Ham, Leeds, if true, he can now take his pick of who is going to offer the best financial package and terms, because at the end of the day that's what football is all about, MONEY!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The asking price last summer was reportedly between twenty-five and thirty million, I doubt that that's doubled, and can't blame anyone for not paying that for an injured championship player, I wouldn't pay that much now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I actually hope we don't sign him. Don't feel this at all. Let Brentford sell him to whoever they please as long as it isn't us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, supporters enjoy watching their team no matter what div they are in, I should have added it's only the clubs accountants that like making money.

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Is there actually solid link to go in this thread yet? It's just that it's always been the impression that everything "Speculation" needs a link, I could be wrong though.
