I was looking for feedback on Aarons but seems like he hasn't been great for a while. Let him try his luck at Bournemouth. You really haven't. He would've been a good signing for you.

It leaves the door to try and get Hamer as they want about £15m I think but Phil Hay says we were slightly short of meeting their valuation(that could be with the Aarons move of £9m plus add-ons. We are set to lose Adams for £20m. Ayling is a liability so and by all accounts Dramah did well in that position last season so it maybe a case of that. To be honest Max's name has only just come to surface in the last few hours so no big loss at this stage Performance of Aarons does have a lot of mixed feelings on here though?

Branston Pickle 3,732 Posted August 9, 2023 Overall package will be the same but with more ££ now, so makes perfect sense. Max would also be nuts not to go to the PL rather than risking potentially not getting promoted elsewhere. He’ll want to prove he’s a PL player and hasn’t done so yet, with two relegations under his belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,375 Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I'd **** myself if Webber was looking at doing a deal with Leeds and big Rob Newman walked into the office, held his hand, pulled the phone down to the desk and uttered "He's going to Bournemouth matey, we don't trust you no more!". Oh... It'd be like a Netflix doc wouldn't it! I think this is a bigger sideways step for Max than Leeds personally, but at least they are PL currently and it's a club he'll probably do well at. Don't mind taking less if we're not selling to someone else in this league, have no doubt that Max would've preferred Elland road. Could just be a big ploy though, and Leeds stump up the money after this announcement.... We've been trying to get a bidding war going for him.

His heart was clearly set on the prem and anything else would've been second best and when your spending a few million it's probably best to find out now. Had it have been Luton at the last minute he would've done the same. Can't blame him but it seems Bournemouth is probably the best option he could have ever got by the looks of it. No sleep lost and will have other options. Probably wouldve been easier for Farke though as he has worked with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it is not that as if you check the accounts City owe millions in transfer staged payments and are owed roughly the same. No club ever 'pays up front'. The difference would be what the respective clubs were offering to the player. PL wages with the expected bonus if B'Mouth stay up And to be honest Leeds have already got a right back from us (Byram) who is well suited to that ferret fancying bunch.
