Popular Post Jareth Posted August 11, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 JWP would be an expensive but worthy final piece of this summers jigsaw. I’d make that x1 grealish sold and x4 top 6 players signed - hardly a position in the team where we wouldn’t have a top player who all individually bring something special. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Have no problems overpaying when the risk is minimal, proven in the league and improves us instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we overpaid for one player it just restricts us elsewhere. We need to be sensible and measured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy to slam a massive £5m offer on the table for JWP. Arsenal to bid £6m to be paid over 30 years. ESL teams flexing their muscles again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Happy if he came but I dont see him as worth that kind of money. Taking too many players from a relegation battling club always worries me. They are sinking for a reason and the players they have is at least part of it. Danny Ings always scared me when he played against us. I cant say JWP has ever really leapt out at me as special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2021 We out did Spurs on Ings’ wages - makes me think we’re in pole position here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We avoided a bidding war over Ings and Spurs may need the Kane money before pulling the trigger on this. Let him go to spurs. There are plenty of other players out there who are as good as (if not better) for less money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Imagine if we had JWP, McGinn, Buendia, Watkins and Ings playing at the same time. We'd be pressing monsters. Teams won't have a moment to breathe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I thought he was outstanding in that England game before the Euros and would add a lot of quality to our midfield. We have one of those project players for cheaper in Sanson and still waiting for him to get going while we have ended up spending top dollar on our English signings and they've all ended up top players. I was trying to get my head round the FFP thread earlier and from what I understood we might be better off paying for a big signing now with Jack's cash rather than sitting on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With McGinn, Sanson and JWP in midfield, dare I say it, we might not need the fabled DM enforcer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be much harder working though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be sensible and measured. Helps if we sell, no? Talk of AEG, Wes, Nakamba and even Dougie being available if the right bid came in. Could all be paper talk (probably is), but none seem outrageous as suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good in one area but lacking in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
