Tomaszk Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Wonder what we're paying. £60m? He's a brilliant player IMO. Massive balls to play when it's difficult. Similar to Kamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Definitely feel this is close. I'd imagine it will break Buendia's record transfer when all addons are considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't announce you have £35m+ and then go and start signing players. You get deals in place before you sell one of your assets for big money. I remember Spur did this with Bale, they signed loads of players, then announced they had sold Bale. Yeah except for the fact that the French press have been speculating for days that Guendouzi is attracting interest from us - and they won't have got that from anyone in Birmingham.

The_Steve Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I’m guessing we are breaking £40m. Will be worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 its very heartening to read the Marseille forum. You go to the Guendouzi thread to see what they are saying, and you are met with chit chat about literally everything except comments about Guendouzi.......recruitment, leadership, the CEO, the directors, other players, profit on players, lack of profit on players, risks of players going on freebies, historic recruitment, the price of bread...... Made me feel right at home, just like Villa Talk, 5000 pages of old wives tales and nothing about the actual player 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be officially undisclosed, but the French leak everything. I reckon £55m rising to £65m if we really get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
