Norwich wanted £50m for him last summer.
Exactly.
It's what the market will bear, no use blaming football for it. We have no right to Norwich's player unless we meet the valuation.
You have to be flexible and creative in the transfer market these days.
Levy has an eye for the market, and a good understanding of what sorts of players are promising assets and what sorts of players aren't. The rub seems to be that he's absolutely obsessed with winning a high-stakes poker game on every transfer, when the money flooding football makes those contests harder to win, and plus everyone on earth knows his strategy now.
Maybe these weirdo clause-ridden loan-to-buy schemes are Levy's pivot. We shall see.
Was it 30M? Transfermarkt has it at24.3M. Were there addons they are missing? I've been referencing the TM number. 30M slightly changes my perception of the deal.
The thick end of it anyway....
My understanding was 28m.... Maybe the diff in amounts is Omonah (who in straight cash is prob worth more than 3m).
Why does that piss you off? It’s not your money.
See you in 3 daysWow yellow card I’ve received!
Weird, a lot of my posts have received anywhere between 5 and 30 funnies the last couple of weeks.
Plus a couple hundred agrees.
Cant remember being out of order, so it’s one of two things:
1- Arcspace is out the bin
2- I didn’t suck off Poch
What a fucking bizarre cunt of a place this is, should have just stayed away when I said I would.
Shame because I was actually having a good laugh here this time.

We have been linked to 2 main strikers, Piatek & Willian Jose, out of the 2 I'd want Willian Jose, he's played with Lucas, and Jose loves a big fat lump
I agree. The won't let him leave now. I think we should make the deal now, loan him back and bring him in after this season. Probably there is a small issue, hope. They still have hope. And the knowledge that in summer there will be a bidding war.
Tottenham ‘edge ahead of Real Madrid’ in Kalidou Koulibaly transfer battle
Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid are losing to Tottenham in the transfer battle for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly
And why not buy now and leave him to develop until the end of the season?
I think Mourinho is probably on 7 out of 10 thus far.
Not much you can do as a manager about injuries and still tweaking and turning here and there but I alsi thought he would have made us more solid.
On Eriksen I think he is just being pragmatic.
Hopefully better to come once he has a whole pre season.
The guy is very smart and still, along with Klopp the most savvy and interesting with the media.
That said he will have justification in kicking off if Levy does not back him with 2 signings this month, on permanent or loan deals.
We are in serious need.

If we buy from Real Sociedad we should buy Isak. He's a real prospect with a high ceiling, probably cheaper than José.
Was bought by Dortmund a few years ago, had trouble getting game time. Was loaned out to Willem II in January last season and banged in 13 goals in 16 games.
Now in Sociedad not a starter, but still scored 7 in all competitions.
And only 19. Not sure he's a hoofball 9, but with Lo Celso in form and Ndombele on his way back, maybe it won't be hoofball in the near future.

The transfer fee is often one the last things they agree on, personal terms etc with the players tend to be negotiated earlier on.
Anyway, why would we start bidding tens of millions of pounds on a player before we know if they’d actually come to us or not?
Use your head son!
Really? I thought he was their best player. Made Sessengnon look like a chump every time he tried to get forward and also ran him ragged in an attacking sense. Also shackled Sonny very well on the left and made a few quality tackles on him. He’s going to be an excellent right back, but I fear we’re going to fuck it if we don’t sign him this month because everyone will want him in Summer.
Any young player who has 15 good games and season in the PL is a 40-50 million player nowadays, look at that Ponce Declan Rice his passing makes David Batty look adventurous yet he'll go for 35 -50.
Could do.
But I assume we want a striker over anything this January.
