The problem you are missing is that "it" probably doesn't exist right now to spend.

 

Arsenal, a much 'bigger' club, with deeper pockets and more resilience, has just made a whole bunch of staff redundant, citing the effects of the pandemic. King Power has gone through the chaos and uncertainty of Vichai's death (which is a major business issue because a lot of their status and success was based on his personal relationships with people in power in Thailand and elsewhere) and now international air travel has been decimated. Airlines are going bust, there are redundancies everywhere. Have we heard of any redundancies at LCFC? Anywhere in the King Power empire? VIchai and Top talk about their business empire as a family, and while that kind of talk is usually complete guff, they do seem to take seriously the idea that they have an obligation to 'take care' of the people who make them rich. Which means they're sticking with them when times are hard. No lay offs. In the same way that their players who at other clubs would be getting moved on sharpish are here getting contract extensions. That's part of what we like about our owners, but it comes at a price - and the price is that right now, it really seems like they're not in a position to over-extend themselves in the transfer market.

 

I'd prefer us to sign three or four players this window, but (with the exception of Chelski, who have unique circumstances) no-one is doing that this year. So my second preference is for owners who take care of the staff we already have commitments to (playing and non-playing staff), and accept that they can't choose this year to "break the bank" on a marquee signing - because the alternative is the Cardiff / Hull City experience, imploding finances, and a long period back in the lower leagues. Look at the investment in the training ground, and in the stadium, and accept that missing out on the Champions League has consequences. 

I think @Babylon needs to hold a seminar regarding the clubs funding...

Brooks is on the Bournemouth bench today.  Maybe we should aim higher.  Solanke's in the starting 11

Buendia not in the Norwich squad. I feel we will have a punt at him, see if we can pick him up for less than £20m

Hmm strange as he would walk into their starting eleven.  Will have a look at what Bournemouth and Norwich fans are thinking as Buendia is the same!

 

Just checked, Brooks on bench as not fully fit and they’ve a small squad anyway

Loan with an obligation to buy next summer for him or Cantwell as competition with Maddison. Then get Edwards from Vitoria for £15m or Ounas and midfield we are sorted.

We'll sign him on deadline day when Bournemouth give up because United have finally signed Sancho. 

 

The press will report it as our record signing at 40 odd. 

 

Percy will reveal in about six months time that it was actually ~28m and less than YT.

So because he's on the bench we shouldn't buy him?

Don’t think he’ll be seen in anyone’s shirt at that price

That's laughable.  How come we have let our home grown, England International go for the same price as a relegated, injury prone winger?  Absolutely baffling!!

Walk away from this one worth nowhere near that. £20 million maximum.

Maybe they think OGS will pay that as he is supposedly interested . They will look ridiculous when he ends up going for around £22 mill at the end of the window ( assuming this isn’t all newspaper BS of course )

I honestly can’t see them want 50m that’s silly money and they’ll never get it. That Alan Nixon talks shirt anyway!

No he doesn’t. Been spot on with his stuff for us in the past.

Yeah he's pretty ITK across the board. **** there's no way he's worth that. I don't think this is comparable to us asking for so much for Maguire or Chilwell, or Burnley asking so much for Tarkowski either. In those situations you're trying to buy an established international, arguably in the top 5 of their position in the league, from a competitor.

 

If anyone paid that, that's got to be double the highest transfer from the Championship in history, surely? Crazy money.

Because the selling club dictates the price, you can argue value sure but we can’t dictate what they think he is worth.
