Thing is we aren't paying what they want, so what are the "talks" about? Telling them how good a player he is?

I think the only guy that is rumoured to be available and would be at or near that level us Laporte but he might be like Kounde and not wanting to come here.
The biggest issue is this should have been addressed a year or two ago so we didn’t get to this point with zero starting level PL CBs.
Another way maybe to consider woukd be get a guy like De Vrij and pair him with someone like Botman. Neither are elite but De Vrij is very good and steady, he would provide a base level of competency that is needed. The hope would be that he can help develop Botman into a top level CB.
They should, but some people look at them as if you're trying to pay with Monopoly money.
In fairness the other Scottish currency is shortbread.
Can you give one example of the Spanish government "helping" Real Madrid, Barcelona or any other team for that matter?
So they want £46m and we're going upto around £38m. Surely something can be done there. An extra £4m or £5m should do it. Hardly going to impact on other signings.
Do they not get it if this happens with this transfer and we walk who’s to say it won’t happen with the next one & the next one? Just do it nail it and get on with preparing for the season.
it stinks of the same old thing with Levy, we spend time on a target who is probably not attainable due to price, and will end up with a shit option (Vestergaard) two weeks after the season as started by which time we have 2 losses and a draw, with Sanchez and Dier at CB...
The old, well we tried our best....
Ok, so what is proper value for Romero, wise guy? Transfermarkt has his value at €35 million. Not saying that's the correct value, but how do you know it's €60 million and not, say €45 million?
I actually just discovered a remarkable bit of trivia.
Bank notes in the UK are not legal tender. They're promissory notes.
Therefore technically anyone in the UK can refuse payment in bank notes, Scottish or otherwise.
Like we doubled our money with Sanchez, right?
we got hard done there, shouldve got de ligt
No disagreement there. The point is, how do we know we're not getting another Sanchez? No player outside of a select few are a sure thing, especially at that young age. And especially when coming from a weaker league to a stronger one. So we need to be prudent.
Hmmm... pretty sure that's not accurate.
winning top serie a defender is decent, could be a one season wonder sure, but id rather get him then the alternatives as i think he has a good future
Maybe not, but this is what it says on Wikipedia:
"Scottish banknotes are unusual, first because they are issued by retail banks, not government central banks, and second, because they are technically not legal tender anywhere in the United Kingdom – not even in Scotland,[2][3] where in law no banknotes – even those issued by the Bank of England – are defined as legal tender.[4] Formally, they are classified as promissory notes, and the law requires that the issuing banks hold a sum of Bank of England banknotes or gold equivalent to the total value of notes issued.[5]
The fact that the notes are not defined as legal tender means that they are not withdrawn from circulation in the same way as the Bank of England notes, which cease to be legal tender on a given date. Instead the Scottish banks withdraw old notes from circulation as they are banked. Any notes still in circulation continue to be honoured by banks,[6] but retailers may refuse to accept older notes.[7]"
Agree - Davinson and Dier deserve a clean slate I guess. Who knows, after 5/6 years they might finally develop into Baresi and Costacurta
Who is prudent? Ben White is £50m, Vestergaard is 29 and terrible, Milenkovic was apparently dreadful last season, Wolfsberg aren't selling Lacroux, Kounde would cost even more and is going to Chelsea. Every signing is a risk but just going for 3rd or 4th choice cheap punts is a sure way of ending up with this seasons Fazio or Stambouli.
Not disputing their status as 'promissory notes', but that doesn't disqualify them from being legal tender.
