Herman 9,760 Posted March 3, 2019 Being a S*n rumour I am sure everyone will take this with a massive handful of salt, but I'd happily see these sorts of players as genuine targets, young and talented and achieveable if we go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted March 3, 2019 I can’t see us spending up to £20m on one player in the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted March 3, 2019 Contract is up in 2020 so I can't see anybody paying £20mill for him. Great player though, and certainly one that would make sense for our business model if the price was right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 3, 2019 Just waiting for the usual wags to turn and say they'd rather sign Jim Bowen. I'm sure there's room for a 'Super, Smashing, Great' comment too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,760 Posted March 3, 2019 Having just reminded myself on how much we sold the Murphys and Maddison for, you may have a fair point. As KIO points out though, with his contract situation he maybe cheaper, but if there is a bidding war I doubt it would be as achievable as I initially thought. Still, better to be looking at these types that may have future value, in a hard headed business sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 3, 2019 Someone out there with first-hand knowledge of scurrilous player rumours must also be able to make use of the 'nothing in this game for two in a bed' catchphrase? Please.😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hucks6 169 Posted March 3, 2019 I think most of our midfielders would be ok if we win promotion,why spend all that money, think he would go to a bigger club than ours otbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,163 Posted March 3, 2019 I clicked on the link Drazen but it wouldn't open - I presume that some sort of internet filter that blocks offensive images has kicked in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted March 3, 2019 Surely this only comes into play "if" we were to go up....you'd expect him to be on the radar of any newly promoted team who would want to take the best players from the championship up with them. Our better signings since Farke/Webber have been here have been from abroad rather than domestically, and you'd expect us ro continue in that market, the fee required for Bowen may well get us 2 or 3 players from the bottom end Bundesliga/top end Bundesliga 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 319 Posted March 3, 2019 Nothing to do with game next week trying to influence Bowen to keep his powder dry to allow City to the PL and to become PL player with City. Cynical maybe Ii guess. However sure he would love to fit into the City side. Also sure he will not be cheap and investment not on Delia's radar,penny pinching the watchword. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,605 Posted March 3, 2019 Bowen has got 32 championship goals in a season and two thirds and is only 22. £20m is probably reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,517 Posted March 3, 2019 I would imagine we might go into European markets somehow for the better value (Germany? 😉) But then, Bowen is a classy player and would enjoy signing someone of his quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlikely with a year left on his contract. I'd imagine he's going to be around the 12m-15m mark in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hull have an option to extend the contract until 2021 - so £20m will be the going rate. I imagine Norwich’s name in this story is just to try and drive the price up for whoever eventually does get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just don't see players of his record and age going for that price these days. Bobby Reid went for over £10m on the back of one good season with a year left on his contract and being a few years older. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted March 3, 2019 Josh and Jacob each went for around £10 million. Unless a mid or upper tier Premiership team wants him, I can't see him going for £20 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
