Spend all the money on an attacker.
PEH is 28, a full international and a regular first team player who is playing really well.
£20 million would be daylight robbery, no way we are accepting that.
Bit OTT. He was wrong to rate it 2/3 out of 10 but lets keep family out of it.
12 months left on his contract i'd be amazed if we get much more, £25m max but no one has any money.
We're close to clearing off the 19-20 buys, most of whom have one year left. Do they want to stick out a year or sign a new long term deal elsewhere? Low transfer fees but enough to free up amortisation and cash flow. Getting them out then allows us to use loan slots on project players rather than flops.
More centre-backs can only mean one thing ... it's Sam Allardyce after Ange goes to Liverpool.
He’s worthless soon, his contract is up
Throw in the tighter FFP rules, clubs' preference to buy young and PEH's reluctance to move to a smaller PL club and we'll have to take anything we can get.
You were at 2 or 3 after Werner & Drago...and now with Bergvall added to the mix you're at 7? Quite the jump
At this stage, I'd happily take a cock to get rid of the fat bastard.
Gonna get me some fowl votes that.
Well I said many times before I wanted one or two prospects brought in and I was disappointed that wasnt the case, the club did what I wanted them to do and my score is a reflection of that.You were at 2 or 3 after Werner & Drago...and now with Bergvall added to the mix you're at 7? Quite the jump
Not really. It seems that PSR has now put the brakes on ridiculous valuations for players, if this window is anything to go by. I still think it will all come to a head about half way through the Summer window, and we'll see prices drop fairly significantly.
PEH only has what, 18 months left on his contract right now? We'll do really well if we manage to squeeze more than £20M out of anyone for him. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we even managed to get that for him.
Fuck those rotten criminal bastard chavs. Levy should give them 20 quid for both CG and Colwill...and force them to take Ndombele in return.
Then I'd lock Colwill in a room with Udo, Cuti, Drago and Richy so they teach him some manners.
My man, it ain't about being right or wrong...the vast majority of convos on here are about opinions, not facts (yes, even your self-described uber eloquent & classy posts, LP).
It's about being realistic, about judging things in the present and not based on previous years/decades.
When you rate the TW pre-Bergvall as a 2, it don't make you right/wrong. But it does make you unrealistic and as if you let your longstanding frustration dictate your agenda.
It's Mount all over again. His HG status is taken for granted and he's forced to sit back and watch all these unproven newbies failing to deliver and yet rake in more money than him.
Running his contract to zero is probably the best solution for his wallet in the long term.

I think the whole 2/10 thing is bollocks, but sort yourself out... There's no need to go down that kind of path.
If there is no right or wrong it's not unrealistic, neither was it unrealistic for the club to sin a prospect like I wanted because they went out and did it.
I think the Gallagher Ship has sailed. Problem is he wants £150K a week.
