shefcanary 2,383 Posted February 1, 2013 McNally has just tweeted this: davidmcnally62We did have interest in strikers. Our main international target was available for 20m euros. We don''t have 20m euros #ncfc I am assuming, given RVW was the only "international" target named by the club, it is him. That''s silly money in anyone''s book. those third parrty owners need a reality check. Still now can look forward to doing some proper negotiating with them come May. Let''s hope the pound recovers and we can get some value in the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SYG 0 Posted February 1, 2013 If that''s what his club value him at, then yes!Realistically, no... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted February 1, 2013 He has the potential to be £16m player without a doubt - however right now I would not want to go beyond £10m. I think they really expected E20m but being january thought they would chance their arm. Would love us to go back with say E15m bid in May - he has far more potential than Hooper and worth the extra cash IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zak Van Burger 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Not for the first time recently I find myself grateful that the transfer negotiations were conducted by a professional businessman and not by any one of a number of posters from this board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted February 1, 2013 No idea. Never seen the guy play 5 minutes of football, let alone 90. But for that kind of money he must be half decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only transfer dealings approaching £20m pound that I want NCFC to be involved in in the forseeable future are those involving us selling players. It is with regret that I fear that John Ruddy could be this player. I hear that big clubs like Liverpool are sniffing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 1, 2013 No. He has potential, as he is in the frame for Holland, albeit well below RvP and Huntelaar in the Dutch pecking order, but at 23 he is still a work in progress, and I see anything beyond 5m on him an unjustified gamble. For such a pricetag one might expect top performers of top leagues. I often use Adam Szalai (Mainz) as an exampe, robust 6ft4-er, would make Kompany think twice, Bundesliga topscorer. His buyout price is 12.5m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 1, 2013 If memory serves me right that was Berbatov''s price. Danny Graham to Sunderland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 436 Posted February 1, 2013 You think Berbatov would come to Norwich? Danny Graham probably had the chance to come to us and chose...............The Mighty Sunderland Next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 1, 2013 Last season Berb sounded desperate enough to go anywhere where he could get first team football. If a player would come to NCFC only for an irrationally inflated price, there is not much point talking about it. Leave that for QPR. If Sporting manages to sell RvW, I''d be truly interested about the price, but I seriously doubt it''ll be anywhere near. Btw. RvW is not a proven goalscorer in the Prem either.

chicken 0 Posted February 1, 2013 [quote user="Budapest Canary"]If memory serves me right that was Berbatov''s price. Danny Graham to Sunderland?[/quote]First off Berbatov may well have cost £5million in a transfer fee but we know his wages will be high. I am suggesting that high means £50k a week or more. So the transfer price is one thing - but considering that is £400k a month-ish, you can understand why we wouldn''t be able to afford him.Graham wanted a move closer to home. I think that is proven by his move to Sunderland, a team he would have down as bitter rivals as a Newcastle fan. But having no offer from them its the next nearest team he received an offer for in the prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
