I agree that if you look at a few other fees it’s a little lower than some but we come out of this looking pretty poor if we don’t let him go to a bid like that. I don't give a flying one what we look like, he should only leave for what we consider him to be worth. I'd hoped we would have offered him 200K a week to extend his contract and put a buyout clause of £100m in it.

The player buys us added time to find the right solution though and can be used in a variety of positions. Yes, I know that but I'd prefer £70-80m up front to replace him and other areas. 1

Ted Maul Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 It gives us plenty of time to work on our own signings, but £50m + some kid who had a good season in a pub league isn't a good deal for us- I would have wanted £70m to bring in a proper replacement and a quality number 10. £50m will get us one of those with change as long as we spend wisely, but we've already got Diabate, Gray and Albrighton as wingers in the 'certainly not the first name on the teamsheet' category. Is Roberts any better than them?
AjcW Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Roberts has the same agents as Adrien Silva so it's nice to see they still want to do business with us 1

In a transfer window where its crucial that we get in the right players of the right quality that's exactly the sort of attitude that would see the kind of up and coming talent turn us down. 1

But Hazard is a better player than Mahrez and also plays for Chelsea, whilst this isn't fair, it does increase the price.
Innovindil Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 All these people saying he's worth this he's worth that. If he was worth more, we'd be having bids in from more than 1 team. 1
FrankieADZ Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 (edited) im just hoping there are add ons in the deal and we are getting £50mil up front dont get me wrong i think hes worth £100mill tbh Edited 22 May 2018 by FrankieADZ

tsintskaro Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 if club gets roberts,it means they have 3 young wingers and none of them is solid enough to be starter for pl team so no thanks
RowlattsFox Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 I just think we want it sorted, if that means taking a lower offer than we want so be it. We don't want to be pissing about when he comes back to training. Not sure about Roberts, just another potential player for us. Unless we're expecting a good bid for Gray we are going to struggle to keep 3 youngsters happy. Can Roberts play as number 10? I'd assume Roberts coming in means the end for Barnes.

Ric Flair Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Just now, Costock_Fox said: What if Roberts is a replacement for Gray and we are still after a replacement for Riyad? I think if Roberts comes in then we'll look to bring in a much more gifted right footed winger to play on the opposite side and you might be right in Gray being moved on. I don't see us having Diabate, Roberts and then another Mahrez replacement all vying for that right sided role. That's why if we get Roberts I think we'll go big guns for Elyounoussi who is a very strong attacker that plays left or right but would work best as an inverted winger on the left.
