With talk of bringing in Cahill, signing on and loan fees to plug a temporary gap, makes you think we might have been better off paying the extra 3mil for Ajer.

chicken 2,654 Posted August 2, 2021 Just now, PurpleCanary said: No. This. Also interesting to see that the difference is now £3m. Last week it was £3.5m and it was still wrong. Norwich offered £10m take it or leave it in May, nothing else. Brentford's deal is £13.5m plus add on's that are rumoured to push it towards £20m. £16-18m at least is what I have heard/seen. It simply isn't "just £3m". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It simply isn't "just £3m". Nobody said "just 3m"- 3.5m then to get him here. We didn't offer add ons? Surely it would be worth a few million if he helped us stay in the Prem. If we start with a unfit/inexperienced defence we'll be doing exactly the same as we did post lockdown. A disastrous start is going to cause us real problems and it will be no consolation that we stuck to our guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,698 Posted August 2, 2021 Quite probably - they probably have a macro set up, all they need to do is change the name of the player and a ready-made “links to x are believed to be wide of the mark” story pops up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was Paddy who said earlier we were still in discussions so you’d like to think we’re close with this, there’s certainly a lot of smoke.

priceyrice 124 Posted August 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, Badger said: No idea if it's true. Excellent news if true. I personally know nothing of this player but appears to have a good pedigree and has interested some big clubs. Still young and may take his time initially to cement a starting place but can't see any negatives with this type of transfer. We're not going to be able to buy established Premier league quality wingers or even players such as Danjuma, David brooks or pereira so this is the perfect signing for me. Webber knows he's running out of time now and he isn't going to want to wait until the final day or even week of the window so I'm expecting a lot of movement on transfers this week and next. 3 more permanent and 1 loan still to come after this I suspect.

Branston Pickle 3,698 Posted August 2, 2021 Never heard of knockoutkickoff, but good news if true. …meanwhile, the BBC gossip page is reporting the football insider thing about us being in discussion about Billing, which was rather ****-pooed by David Freezer earlier.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 2, 2021 This news is apparently coming from a outlet called ‘Sportime’ I believe. If the rumours are true then we’ve had to offer PAOK a 20% sell on clause to seal the deal. Could be a big week folks 🙏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,587 Posted August 2, 2021 One can only go by the reports coming out from Greece, but it seemed we were getting so close to an offer PAOk would accept that we then would be willing to improve just a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WSM 62 Posted August 2, 2021 I for one can get too excited with possible transfers, but I’m gonna stay cautious on this development the article which says it’s accepted doesn’t quote anyone - the link to sportime is in reference to his willingness to come here instead of the bid being accepted its nearly 1am in Greece so probably won’t hear anything more from the Greek sites until the morning - fingers crossed otbc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
