Werder are desperate to sell and I feel our name is just being used to get bidders involved. Like who? Most prem teams can outbid any other team unless they are a superclub.

MrBlack Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) I'm confused. The issue was never whether we are willing to pay €25m , it's pretty clear we would be, but whether the player actually wants to move to a PL team in the bottom half. If he is half as good as everyone here seems to think he is I'm amazed more teams aren't. That latest article from them dieche stube doesn't add much weight I don't think. If the stage of the window and lack of other interest so far has lowered his requirements then that is a totally different matter.

Especially when Bremen only want £21m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You have to wonder why RB Leipzig or Napoli have not as yet stumped up the cash? Is it because finances are tight in Germany and Italy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) This appears to be the situation, Werder are needing to raise funds, so they neeeeed to sell Rashica we were in agreement with Werder, but Rashica wasn’t In agreement with Villa, because he wanted to go to RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig was in agreement with Rashica, but not in agreement with Werder. A deal was never met soooooo... RB appears to have moved on, so now Rashica seems to changing his mind about other teams. Villa is still in the running, however we have competition from Napoli and Leeds That seems like the current situation Edited September 10, 2020 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same tbh. But I kinda hope I'm wrong just so we get some quality that can cover for Grealish in case he is suspended, injured or something.

I think he's on quite low wages at Bremen and anything we offer will likely be way higher. Seemed to be his main issue until now was hoping for Champions league football and being reluctant to move his young family out of Germany. I don't think money has ever been or will be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just putting it out there. He might not be a starter for the very top teams yet (would still be a useful squad player even for Liverpool) but he'd be a star player for most Champions League level teams. I've seen nothing from him to make me question that. He's certainly better than all but one of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2020 One thing foreign players might be weighing up is that whatever they earn in sterling now with respect to the euro will take a big hit if no deal happens. Or at least their agents and financial advisors will be. Could easily top 20% the cut in value from now to Jan. Like if a player is on €20k a week, comes to the prem on £25k a week, €28k more or less now that could easily turn into €20k if the pound crashes and no pay rise anymore...
