Huli Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 2 hours ago, sylofox said: Jones will have a value in the deal. So we will still pay hull the full amount Jones value to us is negative 20m so Hull won't get so much. 2 hours ago, desertfox2 said: Sounds like Martial may go surely we should be all over that if possible instead of Jones. It would be Way less money for Maguire but then less we would have to give Hull and we get the Wide left player it looks like we need and if god forbid Vardy gets injured he can play central. I like this idea but Martial wouldn't want play for Leicester and his salary too high. However many Manchester players are not wanted by Ole. Who could we want and take?

Gerard Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 2 hours ago, ROB-THE-BLUE said: I'd take £75m + Jones personally. We'd owe Hull less of a cut and pick up a decent squad player in the process. Pretty sure it doesn't work like that. For example we couldn't just swap Maguire for Lukaku and expect Hull to get nothing. It would go to some sort of arbitration to decide the value of the player and then Hull would get their percentage still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VVD would need a superb sense of humour to voluntarily want to look like HM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 Watching man u vs leeds and they are being cut open so easily. They really look like that they need a cb (and lb but that's only as the hopeless rojo is playing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 3 minutes ago, FoxinNotts said: I’ll put my tin hat on before I say this, but I’d accept £75m + Marcos Rojo! Rojo is a horrible player, but he’s entertaining if nothing else, and i kinda like him. He’s Happy to sit on the bench, can be used across the back line, plenty of experience, a few international caps and still in his twenties. Must be horrible to play against. Stick him in the left centre back position for cups, and watch the fireworks. Also, if you have him on the bench as defensive cover, CB and LB, it frees up another spot in the 7 for another attack minded player, which we have a few of. I appreciate he’s a walking red card, but as I say, it’s entertaining, and that’s ultimately what footy is all about Happy to sit on the bench at Man U collecting upwards of £100k per week. He also goes through periods of lunging in 2 footed and evading referees - with VAR coming in and him not being with United anymore he isn't getting away with it anymore. He's technically alright, has a fighting spirit and is just above average as a defender but you've got to expect more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever see the transfer years ago where Monaco got round something like this? Not advocating this or anything it just popped into my head, iirc it was when they signed James Roudriguez and Joao Moutinho from Porto for some silly combined fee. Anyway, can't remember which one it was but one of them had a chunky sell on clause and the official fee for said player was £100k or something and the other player officially cost 50 odd million or something as a way to circumvent the sell on lol!

mozartfox Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 Cash only please. No useless make-weights. We have enough deadwood as it is without expanding the Forest with more sick trees. This endless rumors are truly scary - Dunk, Townsend and now Jones. These are bottom 6 signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like we did with man u for Drinky and james. But im prety sure rules dont allow it now. So jones has to have a realistic value. Plus his signing on fee would be affected if we under valued him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain we've done the exact same thing ourselves. Matty James/Ritchie De Laet signed at the same time from Man Utd for £2m combined, iirc, but RDL had a clause from his time at Stoke or something similar so rather than a £1m/£1m split it was something daft like £1k / £1.999m. Edit: Took way too long posting and was beaten to it haha. But it was definitely James/RDL, not Drinkwater. Edited 17 July 2019 by Xen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsocks Posted 17 July 2019 Share Posted 17 July 2019 (edited) Phil jones was the great white hope of england when he went to utd. He massively under achieved. Roy keane said he needed to man up... every time he say him he was on a stretcher.... and indeed he is injury prone. He is crap. He is a liability. He would take up a spot in our squad that could be filled by a football player. It's a no from me. Edited 17 July 2019 by foxinsocks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
