Wymsey Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 (edited) If Perez falls over and scratches his knee slightly, some on here will fear it's a 'serious' injury and would worry for his playing future.. Edited 3 July 2019 by Wymeswold fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on FT... Yes. Wasting big money on average to poor players is a trend I would like to see ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our focus seems to have shifted in the last couple of windows. We need it to remain like that. No doubt Perez has potential and may increase in value if he has a great season with us, but that is what he will need to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez has played on both wings behind the striker and up front, I don't know what he is supposed to be. Surely having a player who can play several positions is a good thing? I think £30m is a lot but we know he can do a job in the prem as hes done pretty well for Newcastle. Cant be easy either playing in such a defensive team so he could improve for us playing in a more attacking team. There's always risks with players when we pay high fees, (Slimani, Silva, Iheancho) and others have mentioned we could have gone for sarr but we don't know how good he'd be in the prem. Im sure there probably are better options out there for that money but there are always risks attached with signing players who haven't played in the prem before and you can't get a proven prem winger for any cheaper than £30m. Even Townsend, Redmond etc who wouldnt necessarily be any better would cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I am a fan of the football club that is desperate for it to do as well as possible. To that end the way the clubs spends its money matters to me. Its not my money but it is my football club and the way it spends its money has a direct impact on its success. In your weird world its pointless having an opinion on any of it because we're not part of the entity of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Nacho Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 I think £30m isn't a bad fee. Bournemouth paid £21m for Solanke that's what you call a bad fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 This argument about "it's not my money" is just a bit daft. It's so simplistic and it just totally misses the point. I'm not saying that this is a terrible deal, but it does change the parameters somewhat if it's potentially our record signing as opposed to about half of that. It also gives off the impression that this is our big attacking signing of the summer which, if I'm brutally honest, I think is slightly underwhelming - that isn't to say he's poor but it's slightly over the odds for me. I think it's a good addition providing you get more of what we've seen in the past six months from him, and I do think stylistically he's probably going to suit a Rodgers side more than a Benitez one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could be excited or optimistic about this signing but it just seems like we've paid out too much for this guy and we should have been aiming higher for £30m.

HighPeakFox Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 @murphy is right. But it is utterly futile worrying about it one iota, as we cannot affect it. I know, I know, that renders the whole forum pointless. But discussing how players play, might play or played, formations and so forth is interesting and worthy of debate, whereas speculating about how rich people spend feels a bit like having a 'they've had our pants down'-off - and by the way, that's one of those tropes that truly annoys me.

I think that is more down to Newcastles lack of investment and quality personally. Time will tell if he's VFM, my gut feeling is he'll thrive here under BR.

FoxonMaui Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 For me this a very shrewd signing. He’s going to get significantly quicker service in our side than he got with Newcastle. Maddison and Tielemans will benefit from having him moving around across the front and Vardy will get more space. Getting a twelve goal second striker who is familiar with the pace of the Prem , thus takes the risk out of signing a player from a foreign league or the championship is good business especially when it’s important that we get Europe qualification this coming season to keep this young and talented side together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
