The article would imply that they did want him, but then lost interest after Arsenal put their price on his head or found somebody willing to pay £7m plus add ons for him.?

Fine if that's your viewpoint. Dissection of that quote would indicate to me that they weren't interested to any level, as 7 million would be chump change if they were to a club of that size, especially in instalments If they had been interested he wouldn't have been here.

I like Mars bars but if I went to the local shop tomorrow to buy one and they wanted £10, which I could easily afford or chump change as you put it, I would lose interest and buy a Topic bar elsewhere, installments or no installments.

Not if you wanted a Mars Bar specifically you wouldn't. Especially if you had enough in your pocket to buy 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think that we should get back on topic, looking at the Whoscored stats, Bielik is only rated 10th out of the blues players who have played at least ten games. He has received 7 yellow cards and has just the one assist. Combined with his world cup performances and his salary, you could understand Derby being reluctant to cut short his loan.

cannable Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 15 hours ago, Crewton said: £7m basic plus add-ons is the most reliable figure I've seen and with money from the playoffs and compo for Lampard, it didn't seem so outlandish, because we didn't spend much more that summer. It wasn't clear at the time how rapidly the club's debts were accruing, nor that Mel was running out of money to invest and all the rest. With the knowledge we now have, it's clear that the priority should have been debt reduction and low cost additions while preparing for the gathering storm. A fit Bielek, like a fit Thorne or Barnes before him, could have earned us anything between £5-10m profit, but the ownership never considered what would happen if he got injured. I found it absolutely staggering when the former owner revealed that the Rowett compensation paid for Lampard and the Lampard compensation paid for Cocu! With how often managers get sacked you bank the rare occasions you get compo ffs! jimtastic56 and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Just watching the Brum v WBA game to see how Beilik is doing . Both teams kicking lumps out of each other . Forgotten how fast and furious the Championship is. 1-0 Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
