What u talking about? They want 70m euros which is 60m pounds right?
Im talking about transfer fee, idgaf about wages!
All I was saying is that for a 60m transfer fee people are EXPECTING a bonifide top quality player from day 1, Paz is not that player YET.
Well if we sign him I’m more than happy to admit I was wrong, but as it stands I don’t see us signing either Paz or Savinho for the reasons I’ve already stated in this thread.
I’ll be ecstatic to be proven wrong.
That’s why I think we should be targeting realistic transfers without all the associated tripwires.
Are you mental, Sancho an upgrade on Johnson, beyond belief, Johnson pisses all over Sancho.If we stopped pretending we are going to spend 130m on Paz and Savinho and went and got Nkunku (loan/option), Akliouche and BEK, we would massively improve the team/squad. Even fucking Sancho loan/option would upgrade Johnson.
Would be fascinating to be privy to the conversations behind the scenes.
I find it impossible to believe that we'd still be trying to do a deal for him with a week left in the transfer window in a key position if we didn't have some kind of encouragement from his entourage (and Como). Surely we can't be that incompetent as to go on a wild goose chase after MGW and Eze.
But perhaps 1) we are fucking morons, 2) we know BEK is ours at a moment's notice if we want him, so can do one last roll of the dice for Paz.
No, surely not the first one. We've got a plan. This is aaall going to planBut perhaps 1) we are fucking morons, 2) we know BEK is ours at a moment's notice if we want him, so can do one last roll of the dice for Paz.
But the transfer fee is only part of the cost to buy the player. You understand that, right?
Don’t evaluate a player based only on the fee.
Levy should get on a flight to Barcelona, slap €100 million on the desk, bosh, come home with Olmo.
Then get the train up to Birmingham and meet with Villa, slap £100 million on the desk, bosh, come home with Rogers.

Fcuk him.
I dont believe we will get Paz. It's the sort of transfer Levy can't do. Savinho is not coming either. Transfer fee, agent fee and wages just too much for Levy to swallow. He still has a nasty taste in his mouth from Ndombele transfer. It'll be BEK or Damsgaard. If not them two a cheap loan of Garnacho is more Levy's cuppa tea.
Did Bayer 04 just lose more than the season opener against Hoffenheim?
After the match, Piero Hincapie gave a clear indication of his departure. It wasn't the only one on Saturday.
Is Bayer 04 losing another pillar of its 2024 double eleven? On Saturday, after the German runners-up's 2-1 defeat in their Bundesliga opener against TSG Hoffenheim, signs grew that, along with many other stars like Florian Wirtz, Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, and Jeremie Frimpong, Piero Hincapie would also be leaving Leverkusen before the transfer deadline on September 1st.
The Ecuadorian World Cup participant wept as the team lined up in front of the North Curve after the final whistle. Tears that were interpreted as a farewell from the central defender. A defeat on Matchday 1, no matter how sobering, is no reason for such strong emotions.

I'd love Damsgaard tbf. Think he has a bigger immediate inpact than both Paz and BEK (maybe lower ceiling). Want nothing to do with the united outcasts outside of Mainoo.I dont believe we will get Paz. It's the sort of transfer Levy can't do. Savinho is not coming either.
