Ric Flair Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Just now, Babylon said: Well I thinks that we expected, the sale was coming at some point whether it was this summer or next. The silly money has just accelerated it. Agreed, we have probably £250-300mworth of desired talent in Maddison, Ricardo, Tielemans, Ndidi and Chilwell that should our ambitions not be realised immediately then we can recoup money very quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Yup, he’s probably worth that in this market. Hence why we offer them Gray as part of the deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have bedded in Benkovic Yeah maybe, but I think it was part of the plan to drive up the price, give the impression that we think he's going to be playing for us come the start of the season etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 It was always going to happen, this is why it annoys me that fee's have to be announced, it just screws you over when trying to pursuit other targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really doubt it? business with 60 million debt that lost nealy 11 million last year and owes it's parent company tens of millions in loans secured against its stadium...

One day on FoxesTalk an ITK posted "Perez!" and 24 hours it was a done deal. Wouldn't be surprised if something similar is happening with new signings as the club has been well organised this summer.

Mistyblue Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 Would love Maguire to have stayed but we got a very good price for him. But imo Ake is at least the equal of Maguire 1) He is a Dutch International and technically better 2) His mobility is far better 3) he is younger but has as much top level experience 4) whilst smaller than Maguire I think this is more than made up by his athleticism. So to pay £75m for an all round equal/better why not? I have been very impressed by Ake every time I have seen him play over the last 3 years. I get that we have potentially got 2 good young CB waiting to step up and I hope that works out for us , just not sure that £75m should price us out of looking at Ake if Club feel it to early for youngsters to step up , particularly if Evans gets injured ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley dropped Perez out of the blue. People like LinekersApples clearly have way less knowledge than they like to let on. Talking in riddles and being as vague as humanly possible in the hope it turns out right, even then, they turn out wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
