I imagine that any first bid going in for any player is a bargaining chip towards both the selling club and the player.

Let's take Berahino as an example. He probably wants £100k a week and a £2m sign on. West Brom want £20m.

We offer £10m to West Brom and the package he wants to Berahino. West Brom say no, so we go back to Berahino, sorry our hands are tied... Unless you go to £60k a week, then we can give West Brom what they want. Players head is turned, he agrees, we up our offer and he signs. Total package over five years is the same either way.

And I know we aren't supposed to talk to the player before a bid is accepted, but I'm sure we're all grown ups in here?
It'll probably wind up somewhere in the middle with incentives added to so that if he really explodes WBA get their 20 million.
 
I'm expecting the "Disagrees" for this but this is my genuine fear and opinion which i'm entitled to,

I hope in 9 Months time someone is coming back to this and saying to me "Told you so you fucking mug", unfortunately i cant see it.

I feel the way things are going we will be struggling for a top half finish this year never mind top 4-6, Top 4 is DEFINITELY out of the question there is not enough creativity,fight,experience in the squad to live with the "Top Teams" i feel we are being looked upon now as an Everton/Stoke type of club and this will also mean losing some of the gems already at the lane, Loris/Erikssen/Kane because them 3 are the only ones for me that would get into a top 4 side, all the rest have things to prove this year (Mason/Bentaleb are young enough to warrant being excluded from this)


Anyway hit me with the dislikes for being a realist :)
Thats not a post worth a disagree, its more of one for the bin
 
Do you agree/disagree with it? Any counter arguments for his points?

Don't be a pleb.

Check everyone out with the insults, forgive me if i am wrong but i thought this was a public forum for opinions to which everyone is entitled to,
Not everyone agrees with everyones opinions but there is no need for the "Fuck Offs" or name calling.

There is only around 5% of this thread from 785 pages that is not full of shit
 

Really? £10 million is a joke Levy.


Almost as much as a joke as taking a Daily Mirror article seriously.

You don't know what realism means. That's the only proper info we can take from this absurd comment.
 
Is it meltdown time yet?

So you come on to a public forum, post something quite obviously inflammatory and expect everyone to say "aye, young Jamie, you're right on the button there mate. Great post. Come round to mine and fuck my sister"?

Not really how this whole thing works is it?
Inflammatory because you dont agree!!!!!!

I also wouldnt post on here fishing for the compliments which reading through this is quite obviously what certain folk do

Oh you martyr cunt, fuck off.

Don't feel he raised any to merit a detailed response. Also, I have better things to do.

I think we are a decent back up striker and a starting DM away from actually being a top-4 contender. I think Pochettino's system works when the players are appropriate, and I think that we have a good, young squad which is going to be a lot better this year than last. Bentaleb especially.

I don't care who would, or wouldn't make it into the teams that finished in the top-4 last year. A team is an organic whole. I think ours can be good enough. It will require self-improvement, and will require everyone giving it their all, but we finished 5th last year. This team is not shit. It has flaws, but if those are addressed (and I think they will be) then the team which ravaged Chelsea, comprehensively beat the shit out of Woolwich and stomped all over WBA can be the expected level of performance, week-in and week-out.

Come at me bro.
