SecretPro Posted 1 June 2018 Share Posted 1 June 2018 5 minutes ago, Babylon said: Don't want to engage in a debate?... do check your notifications. Hughes went for £8m and he was all the things you just listed and more. No player has gone for remotely anything close to that. A £25m valuation is not justified "whether you like it or not". Agree with Babs. In fact, 18 assists and 12 goals since the age of 17 and playing for teams like Notts County doesn't prove he has ability. Quite the opposite for me. Whats he been doing for the last 5 years? Sure, he might have some decent attributes and he might show promise for the future, but based on what he HAS DONE so far in his career, £25m is absolutely fecking ludicrous.

If someone chucked in a £15m upfront and a £10m based on performance based stuff, I think that's not unreasonable. £25m upfront would be batshit crazy, no matter how great they think he is. You only have to look at players who perform in that league to see that playing well against Burton Albion is no great indicator of actual talent. Would people pay £25m for someone called Bobby Reid from Bristol, or Saint Martyn of Waghorn... not a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bored of the whole ****ing argument now anyway. So, do we think we'd go for him and Maddison? Seeing at JG is playing more as a CM and JM more of an ACM? I'm not keen on our CM options still to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 1 June 2018 Share Posted 1 June 2018 Honestly don't know what I find more hilarious. People thinking he's 40-50 million, saying ' he's proved his quality at premier league level' despite the fact he was pretty shit or that they think showing his goal against us in a game that we ended up winning and sending them spiralling in proves something.

Popular Post LinekersApples Posted 1 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 1 June 2018 If we forget about price (which as fans of a rich club, we probably can), then surely everyone agrees he is a good footballing acquisition and something we don't currently have? 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
