Sky have been all over the place lately though. They reported a second bid rejected that has never been made.

Now I've heard come and get me pleas before, but he's basically spreading his butt cheeks.

 

[HC]

Yeah I know but that's standard media bs during negotiations .

It's very different to going on and air and saying that's that , there will be no deal .

 

[gene hughes]

Just remember, if he's any good he'll do the same thing to us in two years.

 

[Mystic]

Unfortunately I believe they're right, however this could equally be us and Shaktar having a blinking contest, the only hope we have here is his agent is actively pushing for the deal to happen, its getting more and more unlikely by the minute though.

If we're selling him for 80m thats okay

Him saying "Some great players have passed through there" kinda confirmed that he sees us as the step up before on to something better.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Exactly. Even better, he'll be 28 then and probably ready for a new contract just at the peak of his career. Sounds like great business to me.

 

[Atlas]

United had to pay £55m (or was it more) for Martial
City had to pay close to £50m for Sterling
Benteke cost £30+m

There are some very very expensive overpriced players out there but then clubs are also picking up million upon million of pounds more for the TV deals
this will push up prices for players.

The main reason we should be saying 'Na don't wana sign this guy' is cos we think he is a bit pants and not suited to our play (like many of us said re Benteke/Balotelli/Carroll).

THIS WHOLE THREAD HAS BEEN A MASSIVE MEH!!!!

So, curious to see if our leaders have a back-up option this time, or if it is the typical "all eggs in one basket" amateur operation again.

 

[Buddha]

We'll get him on deadline day.

Why should we?

There isn't always a viable plan B, would you rather we did what we did when missed out on Sanchez , or Costa two years ago , there's always a shit; over priced player waiting around the corner..

Sometimes it's just better to go without and regroup in the next transfer window

 

[Glen C]

Why's that? Aren't these things always drawn out?

With us it's drawn out and then nothing happens. We seem to take longer over deals than any other club.

 

[cloggypop]

Shane Long? For 20 million?

 

[superchimp]

tbf, if they are showing zero signs of negotiation on 38m we are doing the right thing in walking away....

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced this is us holding our nerve waiting for them to give in as the window approaches and the pressure from Teixeira mounts, that's what I'm hoping anyway.

Sky know sod all

The potential for a plan B should at least be investigated. Wanting Sanchez and ending up with Ballotelli is amateur stuff.

Well, obviously, no one wants to repeat that, but that is not how it necessarily needs to be.

If our scouts were worth their salt, there would be options between the extremes of spending on shite and an actually viable, decent plan B.

 

[Markeh]

all sounds a bit Konoplyanka to me

 

[Athens]

Sky know sod all

They know how to squeeze money out of suckers.

A bit like what's happening here.

 

[Holle]

Fuck this and sign Xhaka.

Is that rhyming slang? 😉

sadly no

This guy is literally born to play in our team: Alex Teixeira: "I've played with Coutinho since we were 10-years-old. It would be a lot of fun to play with him again." #LFC
