Chindie Posted January 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2022 1 minute ago, John said: They will get round FFP. Citeh did and so will they. The question is whether Bissouma will fancy taking the chance of spending a season in the Championship and rocking up at Small Heath and West Bromwich next season for his "big" games. They will be sponsored by Saudi Blood Barrels for the market rate of £1trillion a season next year. To augment the gates at the training ground being sponsored by Saudi Gates for £100m a year, their socks being sponsored by Saudi Warm Feet Co for £100m a year, their mugs being sponsored by Saudi Coffee and Tea Receptacles Ltd for £1billion... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If he goes to Newcastle, or anywhere I deem to be a club lesser than ours, I’ll be really annoyed. He’s such a good player. Yes, he might cost £40m, but you know what you’re getting for that and he’ll be so, so good in our side. So frustrating if we don’t get this over the line if there is even a whiff of it being a genuine opportunity. I think we’ll regret it. Provided he stays out of prison!

Supervillan78 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Why fanny about offering Brighton £25m, everybody knows he’s worth more and Brighton are never going to except such a low offer. I actually think it makes the club look like amateurs, just pay the £40m they want and just get it done. I don’t think Bentacur is anywhere near as good or consistent as Bissouma Edited January 23, 2022 by Supervillan78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying £40m for a midfielder who isn't a 6 (because our management don't want one of those) would be moronic when you can just get a better player (stats wise at least) for how we want to play for 12 John McGinns less.

You’re comparing stats of players who play in different leagues. They mean nothing. Bissouma is by far the better option of the two and will hit the ground running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see who comes in for him then. FWIW, I also categorically do not agree that Bissouma (who cannot pass and is not a typical 6 that so many on here are clamoring for even though our management have no intention of signing one) is a better player than Bentancur. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll sell him if someone pays the money they’re requesting. That much is obvious otherwise we wouldn’t have bid. They obviously want top dollar. If he doesn’t get sold in this window then fair enough, but if he does and it’s not to us I’d be disappointed. Pointless arguing over who is better between him and Bentancur as it’s just opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think for the money being touted, Bentancur seems a steal. Both good players and we're being run slick as hell these days so the trust is there.

Supervillan78 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Every time I’ve seen Bissouma play, he has been absolutely brilliant and completely dominant in midfield. Exactly the type of player we need. Bentacur is a decent player, however he can’t impose himself on a game in the same way that Bissouma does. Bentacur’s playing style is actually very similar to that of Sanson’s IMO. Edited January 23, 2022 by Supervillan78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messi11 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Seems strange that we bid 25 million for him, and we're not going to go in with another offer. Maybe Brighton told us his price which put us off? or Maybe we will wait until deadline day see if Brighton Panic sell him for lower, Would be a great deadline day if that happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
