tomsdubs Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sorry but at these prices I'd take Wells over Vydra all day, 8.5m is way too much for a guy who didn't fair great in his last season down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did signings always take this long to sort out (I know in this case, the news only 'broke' a couple of hours ago, so not expecting anything to have been sorted on this, just over the last few years there seems to have been a much bigger lag period between rumour starting > seeing player at local estate agents > signing). Getting impatiant. I'll have to move to the West Stand with my razor blades. No Snowdonia isn't concrete, its el natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatonram Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 And some people talk of lettin Martin go for 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It seems clubs are taking us for mugs when it comes to money imo Hendrick is being touted for 6m, yet we're being asked for 8.5m for a player who scored 3 f****** goals last season, tell them to f*** off. He'd be a decent signing if used right, but you've got to question our club if their willing to let Martin go for below 8m and then sign someone with a lot less goals for 8+m.

Exactly. and people want shot of Hendrick and Martin for less than that... its ridiculous I'd probably sell Hendrick for around that but not Martin.

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Is £8.5m really that crazy for a guy who has proved in the past he can bag 20+ in this league? It's not like we're talking about a journeyman either, he's only 24. We turned down £8.5m for a midfielder that probably won't even be able to get in our starting line up. You have to pay a premium for strikers these days and he scored 9 goals in a team that struggled to score goals last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we land him it takes the 'highest fee paid' stigma from BJ and hopefully he will flourish too.

Eatonram Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Please be brave enough to walk away rather than pay over the odds. I know prices have gone a bit mad but its all relative to the value of our own players, plus at that fee he will probably lead to being highest paid and we saw what that leads to at the Wendies.

DCFCArmy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We need to sell before buying, not just because of FFP but our squad is already too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players we have are pratically refusing to play another system or can't play another system... ship them out and find players who can and will. Or… y'know… use the system that gets the best of them all and build from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satty atwal Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Lets sell hughes martin ince keogh weimann.... then sign vydra.... to appease all those screaming biut ffp amd bloated squad. Mel morris is an astute and very successful businessman.... im certain we are well away from any ffp issues so will everyone please drop that line. Also if we were looking to sell before buying then our 3rd-4th best centre mid would have been sold when burnley bid for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ITK but it wouldn't surprise me if a fee hasn't already been agreed for him and we are just waiting to get someone in before we let him go. Might be why Wolves haven't come back with another bid or moved onto someone else..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
