My point was the general concept of losing out on a player (or anything) and so you should immediately rush out and purchase someone/something else as a "reaction". Its very literally the worst sort of fiscal policy a person or a company or a football club could have. It wasn't specific to the players.

If Juve want us to buy outright, they can absolutely fuck off. Option to buy should be the only deal considered, no way should we be taking him off their hands without knowing if he can recover form away from them.
I'd say around £60m but is that better for a proven quality prem player in a position we desperately need to fill than keep buying £25m types that need to be replaced a few months later? All i know is our current strategy, if it can be called that, isnt working.
I haven't argued that.
I also have repeatedly said we won't get him.
What exactly do I have to get real about?
You're living in a fictive reality where we haven't bought Neves because we never met the asking price.
I am living in the real world where we never made an offer because we don't have the ambition.
Keep telling us about how when we sold Walker to City they were ahead of us in the standings. We need more pearls of wisdom like that from you!
Keep telling yourself that Wolves won't sell players to us after all the Traore discussions, the Jota sale. You really are on the right path here deluding yourself into thinking Wolves don't sell players to bigger clubs.
The fees being talked about are absolutely stupid, agreed. Then again Paratici spent the equivalent of £60m on Emerson and Gil, so these dumb fees are in line with that.
Why on earth should we offer ~£30m for players who have flopped at a lower level than the PL? This is crazy stuff if it’s true. We should be taking these flops on loan with zero obligation not spending big fees. An option to buy is fine, anything else is negligent.
City paid £50 million for Walker in 2017, that's why we sold him to them.
Be like us bidding £70 million for Neves now to get him.
Do,,,,...you,,,,,,,un-der-stand?
I'm genuinely surprised by that, he looks way older.
They owe us one for buying Doherty!
I have always understood even when you lied about what has happened.
It is you struggling here.
Levy would always prefer to risk losing a player for the sake of a few million off. Strange tactics when you need players badly.
OL have signed a midfielder from Brest. Presumably, this is going to scupper the GLC to Lyon loan(?).
Anyone with more info?
Anyone with more info?
Apparently Brendan Rodgers was at the Celtic game today looking at Cameron Carter-Vickers !
The times we;ve sold players to rivals they've usually paid over the players value to persuade us.
We don't have the budget to do that.
It's simple, just take a deep breath and think. Now you know why we haven't bid for Neves because Wolves won't sell him to team directly above them in the PL, unless we go OTT with the bid.
Sorry I can't put it any simpler for you.
You can continue to put it wrong all you want it doesn't change how wrong you are.
ollie tanner couldnt agree personal terms wonder if the backlash about those tweets affected it
Assuming clubs will willingly abandon their own goals and sell their best player in January just cos peeps on TFC want them to is willful ignorance on your part, Iggy-babes.
