If we'd paid the asking price we'd have made 40m in net value considering Grealish is quoted at 60-80m now lol.

If we'd paid the asking price for Ndombele & GLC we'd be about 60m worse off..... Swings and roundabouts innit.
You know fuck all about what Donna Cullen told Alistair Gold
You say that as if we got them on cheap...
Nah, I say that cos it the truth......
Some would say we overpaid for Ndomebele, but that's it's own discussion.
GLC was extremely expensive as well, Betis got him for like 30% of what we paid a year previously.
We basically paid the asking prices for them so...
Did (eg) Chelsea overpay for Kante, just cos Leicester got him for fuck all a year earlier?
Nope..... It doesn't work that way.
(We're not talking about what YOU think they're worth here.... The talk was of paying the asking prices for players... The starting price if you prefer.)
No we didn't.
GLC: Betis started asking for crazy money like euro100m cos they were skint and had to also pay PSG a big slice of any sell-on.
Tottenham make their first offer for Lo Celso
Tottenham Hotspur are after Giovani Lo Celso. The Argentinian footballer for Betis is one of the most valued players in the Betis team, but Spurs up to now are not even close to meeting Betis' demands.
Even after hard bargaining and Betis generating funds from other sales we were still left being asked for 60m:

We eventually helped Betis save on the sell-on with the convoluted high-price loan fee with option to buy.
Ndombele: reports started at around £80m, but a couple of weeks into the trf window the equaivelent of euro80m was still being asked:

You keep picking the worst examples, as if Kante for 30m wasn't an insane deal. Another difference is that Lo Celso was a well known wonderkid and Kante wasn't but whatever.Did (eg) Chelsea overpay for Kante, just cos Leicester got him for fuck all a year earlier?
Nope..... It doesn't work that way.

not even the point - if we say GLC and Ndombele were good deals, they still were in no way bargains in comparison to asking price or value. We paid a fair price.
What do you mean... "Keep picking the worst examples"? ....It's 1 basic example to illustrate a point.
Whether YOU rate player X or Y is irrelevant to this conversation.
Nah, I'm sorry YOU are dragging things off point... Not me.
I didn't say they were a bargain.
I responded to a comment about paying asking price for Grielish.....
You're arguing on the basis of perceived worth. Which is an entirely different discussion.
The FACT is that we paid circa £100m for 2 players with a combined asking price of circa euro180m (£161m).... When it comes to negotiations; sometimes you get the deal you want (TN & GLC) sometimes you don't (JG).
And yet we haggled over 2 mil over Grealish when he would have been the by far best value for money. That's my point.
You don’t know shit you cuck.
Why are you so obsessed with Ndombele though? Honest question.
Like I say... Something you get the deal you want; sometimes you don't.
You underlying point is that of scouting/talent identificaion, not financial....
Because he’s 64M and world class so that shows how shit and tight Levy is and Poch was begging for scraps
Work that one out
I’m not. He’s a good player and deserves more chances to prove his worth. What is more frustrating is that some idiots shit on the good players the club has.
And Ndombele has received a lot more criticism than he deserved.
But you shit on the chairman for never buying good players for the last manager and never backing him and only spending small money on shit......
How does Ndombele fit into that theory for you?
“This time it was different” in 3...2...1
Poch got 12 games with Ndombele/Lo Celso/Sess
It WAS different, and then we panicked.
So the only time Poch was backed out of 26 players was with Ndombele?
Stop it - you got my hopes up by saying Inter were going to buy him, and then give me nightmares saying that we'll get Eriksen back!!!!
