chapero82 Posted 27 August 2020 Share Posted 27 August 2020 Just now, jeffschlupp said: Dorsett put a very similar tweet out about Ake and Tarkowski, which is a little bit worrying. I hope that's City not publicly saying 'look, we tried to get the top tier player but it wasn't worth it financially' so they can settle for a cheaper and likely worse option. It happens every year so I think you are onto something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Mclintock went to Exeter to buy Bobby Saxby and came back with Lammie Robertson - it's a miracle he made 7 appearances Not his fault, as he was completely out of his depth and had the pace of a snail with angina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, these boneheads wouldn't last 5 mins in the real business world. How the hell doesn't Susan Whelan get involved? It beggars belief she wouldn't know this Do you really think we haven’t sounded them out and established that they are affordable before now ? More so, do you really think we would release such info (which has obviously come from a source within the club) and state £40 million or whatever, is within our price range ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 27 August 2020 Share Posted 27 August 2020 The Dorsett tweet does rather bring back memories of last summer. Lets hope for a different outcome, ie we actually get one of our top 2/3 targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty98 Posted 27 August 2020 Share Posted 27 August 2020 I'm with the club on this one, paying £40 million for a 28 year old full back is ridiculous especially when the likes of Reguilon are available for £23m. However we shouldn't have sold Chilwell without a replacement lined up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up with Alan Waddle, older brother of Chris but unfortunately not it the same class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not necessarily good for us though, if the club want us to know they looked at top targets but have been priced out then that's pretty disappointing. With Tagliafico in particular, though, I wonder if the club instead want to make it look like they're prepared to walk away given Ajax don't have much interest aside from us.

I'd like to think so anyway. Hopefully, but we saw Dorsett say the same about Ake and Tarkowski and we then we ended up looking for loans on deadline day because we genuinely had been priced out of those deals. When Dorsett says they're way apart in terms of valuations it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that's a gap that can be negotiated down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reported there was interest and as you say no deal could be reached. No harm, no foul. Very often happens especially when shopping domestically from PL rivals.
