Come on - Harry isn`t worth what Utd paid either.

urban.spaceman Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Ake has an absurdly high valuation for the same reason we've sold Maguire for £85m - Bournemouth are well run, they don't want to sell and probably don't need the money. That's not our fault, this is the world the big clubs and the Premier League have created. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it when we slapped a silly price on Harry and got it, but now up in arms that another club that doesn't need to sell their centre half is daring to do the same to us. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will claim that their defender is worth that sort of money now. If we want a decent replacement for a good price then we need to go abroad. The likes of Ake, Tarkowski and Dunk will all be over 50m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Best chance we have is a foreign signing, but then it's a case of what's the point? They come with the same "are they up to it" tag as Benkovic and Soyuncu. Are there any other free transfers floating about other than Cahill? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 12 minutes ago, Benji said: Surely if Rogers has always felt we need a replacement given the Maguire saga has been going on so long we have lined someone up and agreed a fee in advance? We are going to get fleeced if not. We never bothered doing that when we sold Mahrez after knowing he was leaving for well over a year and still paying the price now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nnfox Posted 5 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 5 August 2019 I can't believe the cheek of Bournemouth. Who the hell do they think they are???? Do they not know about the football pyramid and where they sit? We should offer 40m and they should be grateful that a far superior club like ours is willing to do business with them! Ake isn't worth 75m. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapero82 Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 We have 2 injury prone defenders, 1 who is getting on and then Soyunco who the jury is still out on, this is not enough cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Don’t quite get this “money burning a hole in the pocket” thing. We’ve already spent it on earlier signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Well done to the club for sanctioning an £80m sale in the final week of the window without lining up a replacement first. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheppyFox Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Who cares about defence? Let’s get some quality attacking players in. We haven’t got a single quality winger. Barnes is our best and he’s still got to get to the level we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 (edited) As expected - I thought we did expectational to get the price as high as we did for Maguire. However, if we have actual plans to replace him we were fools not to have something agreed in principle prior to Maguire's departure. Personally I don't have an issue with giving the Soyuncu and Benkovic six months to prove themselves. Edited 5 August 2019 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius. you know this for certain or just because Sky are telling you this. Calm down jesus, if we go into the season as we are we have enough to challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 I think we have enough already to cope until January, would like to see us get this attacking mid/winger and wait it out until January. Confident that Soyuncu or Benkovic will be fine, and if not we do have Morgan as a more than capable back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 The game commences... Bournemouth come out with a big figure... the week rolls on - the player thinks he'd like to work with Brendan Rogers. The media make out like we only have the Maguire money to spend so we are short at least ten million. Wednesday comes and we sign a new CB an uninspiring CM as cover and no winger. FT members commit mass suicide due to hope and rope. (Optional) Season starts, we finish 9th after talking about what we could have achieved with a £50 million quid winger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too late to take one of Man Utd's as a make weight in the Maguire deal, just as cover, they offered a few. It would lessen Hull's cut too.
