It’s a tough one to criticise the club on this though given how well we’ve done. I think we have standards compared to most gross prem league clubs. Wish we’d signed him but also think if there was a club / agent being totally unreasonable we’d walk away. So that’s my guess - nobody mugs is off...
I meant that’s only average so obviously we can go higher if we feel the player is worth it and match the likes of WHam. Similar averages. Similar wage bands.
Really hope we do what we have to to make this happen (within reason) tbh. Maybe even a Mac style release mechanism if we absolutely have to. Even if he’s mustard for 2 season then gets poached cos of it, it’ll prob be worth it and make us more money…
Yep - pretty sure as per Naylor / Argus etc it was a £35m up front mechanism type deal - so we’d have hopefully got some likely clauses in there for the additional £20m. That contract was before the WC stuff remember too. We’d prob only ever do that type of ‘clause’ and very rarely if ever have...
Tried to search the Internet and the main stories don’t say it’s off - but NSC seems to have multiple posters saying it is - is there any actual update today from a good source?!

Dunno if it’s cos I’m not on twatter but since this X thing you click on an account and it gives you tweets in a random order?
Anyway, this was at the top and never happened so like you say not sure he’s ITK at all - guesswork 2+2…
Where has anyone said the fee was agreed in July? Thought it broke yesterday? Either way, don’t believe most of what you read - it’s mainly guesswork / bollocks!
I think the 8-10+ European games are being a bit forgotten by many. We need a much deeper squad to compete this season in all comps. Two decent players for every position. Right back and possibly left back still to fill at present for me too.
Despite Dwayne saying every 2 comments he’s shithouse (which is good news) 😉, Chelsea and Arsenal have been interested in this fella allegedly. Sounds like he’d be a great signing and the marquee signing of the Summer for us… 👀👀👀👀
