Yaser Asprilla - signed for Girona

[AKCJ]

£25m is too much. Would have been very Leicester City to pay that much for him while not bothering to go after Summerville for the same price.

Summerville may not have wanted to come to us in the first place... 

[Leicester_Loyal]

25m + add ons? A lot of money that.

[dbtcity]

We all really need to stop getting sucked in with these links to exciting young players… we all know Rudskid is going to spunk a shed load on past it players we won’t be able to shift for the duration of their contract

Very ambitious to think Summerville would have fancied a move here, staying at Leeds would have been a more attractive proposition

Im convinced that we are skint and just using agents/papers to make it seem like we're interested/bidding on players to keep fans happy.

The reported fee wasn't £25mill+ though was it?

 

Not sure if the fee was reported before. But regardless, it was the agent fee which ruled Rennes out.

Being linked and then not happening is the opposite to making fans happy

No chance Summerville swaps Leeds for here…..

The guy is out of contract in a year, I heard 10 million is the asking price

Why would we pay 25m for his, miles over his value.

[Pliskin]

£25m for a player with a year left on their deal is stupid business. For a club like Rennes who probably have less cash than us, it seems a mad decision.

he's already done that with Vesterguard and Nididi he is working on the basis that Enzo is still manager, failed with Souje etc useless.

 

just go and sign Szmodics

Rennes forum say a new flight has been booked for Monday (with evidence, dubious or not) so could be happening it seems..

Genuine mess

I very much doubt the reported price of £25m is going to be anything like correct but it could be that Rennes will pay Watford an inflated fee and Watford will pay all the agents fees  cos Rennes can’t

Summerville isn’t all that 

[James_lcfc]

£25m + add ons for a player in the last year of his contract seems like great business by Watford.

 

Only slightly above average stats at Championship level. Fair play to them.

[mozartfox]

Get Ayew in to lift all of us on FT.  At least 3 years please Rudders. Then move for Andros Townsend and Waut Carthorse and we are sorted.

[Sunbury Fox]

Cooper must think he is in some sort of parallel universe working with our "recruitment" team after his experience at Forest where he was presented with a new player daily for a whole summer.

If we're looking to The Championship for a RW, is Asprilla any better than Morgan Whittaker who had many more goal contributions last year, is apparently cheaper and made the EFL team of the season ahead of Asprilla?

Ok, moving onto this....

 

Will certainly help Morgan get himself a move.  Where to, who knows?
