Mickyblueeyes Posted 29 September 2020 Share Posted 29 September 2020 1 minute ago, Collymore said: You've mentioned Benko twice now but he's surpless to requirements it seems. I don't disagree with anything you've said there but in your original post you just listed all our players as if they'd all of a sudden come of age. No mate, you’ve missed the point entirely. I probably should’ve used the word “potentially” in my final sentence to make it easier to understand. However, the point is we look stronger now then we did a year ago. That’s potential progress. A club our size, attracting the level of player we do, it’s always a risk as to how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans fee £32mil (22yrs), Praet £24mil (24yrs), Castagna £22.5mil (24yrs), Cags £18mil (22yrs), Madders £22mil (21yrs)...and on and on. Now we are potentially considering a £40mil bid for a 27yr old or a £35+add ons for a 19 year old with 20 odd first team games to his name. Neither of these 2 players are remotely as yet proven or capable for the fees mentioned in relation to the above players and the results they bring. I hope city have an ace in their pack of cards. Why would a 27 year old be any less effective than a 22 year old? Man City's oldest player went off and they collapsed after. Dont underestimate experienced wise heads, and how old is Vardy again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair its still the same, we massively lowballed, they told us from the start 40m. We wasted weeks to end up paying what they asked The seller sets the price, its up to the buyer to meet, it same as what we were saying with Maguire, it works both ways.

dannythefox Posted 29 September 2020 Share Posted 29 September 2020 So the deal could actually be up to 30m that’s a hell of a lot better than 40m. Hopefully he’ll be good for us after the players we’ve got in lately you’ve got to have faith in the recruitment team 👌🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis1 Posted 30 September 2020 Share Posted 30 September 2020 They could have given us a few more days to get the page count up! Long gone are the days where paying 5m+ for Matt Mills seemed like an overspend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12345 Posted 30 September 2020 Share Posted 30 September 2020 (edited) Happy with the ambition shown with this signing, but where does this leave Benko and Amartey? I wonder what has been the problem with Benko. I thought Rodgers rated him at Celtic? £32+ seems not our style and a bit risky for a 19 year old, but we need to trust our recruitment team. Also is this to pave way for Evans to leave as he has yet to sign a new contract ... Evans probably has another two or three years in him and we need to keep someone like him to keep the ship steady at the back. It seems Morgan and Fuchs would likely not play anymore. Our B team can probably end up mid table if they are allowed to compete in the EPL! Edited 30 September 2020 by Tom12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benkovic just can’t seem to get fit,hopefully with this signing he’ll now go out on load and get a full season under his belt.Amartey will continue to be a good squad player on the showing last week a more than able 4th choice CB. I don’t think big Wes will start for us again, good option for the last 15, but I think that’s all you’ll see from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s without mentioning the lack of depth we have at centre back. As for Benko I think he gets one more chance with a loan for the season. The club will basically say show us you can stay fit for a season, with high performances. If not I think we will try recouping some of our money next summer.

Personally, I’d find it a bit weird if my photo was going around with my head on a different body (not that I couldn’t do with a different body!). From the legs, I thought this might be Wes Sr although the long sleeves look like Gray - is this three players?!! Can we paste the next new signing into Gary Taylor-Fletcher? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
