Over to you Ollie to force the move.
We won't want to pay above £15m, and understandably so.
This one is going to the wire.

Must have been an official bid then...

Oli McBurnie: Swansea City turn down Sheffield United bid
Swansea City reject a £15m bid for striker Oli McBurnie from Premier League new boys Sheffield United.www.bbc.co.uk
Genuinely, do we want a player willing to force the move??
All to often we cry foul play and berate players for taking up a move from us - when really we want players to force moves to us.
We’d have no right to cry if he came in scored 20 goals and then demanded a move to an Everton or spurs for example.

Yes, of course I bloody do. And 'force a move' doesn't necessarily mean "I'll not play again for you".
It's more a case of "I want the opportunity to play Premier League football, so can we please sit down and discuss options."
They are trying to create a bidding war... but let's hope it backfires and Oli requests a transfer.. then again I don't think he's that kind of lad
A bidding war with who? I thought Mcburnie was more likely than Maupay because we were the only Premiership side in for him.They are trying to create a bidding war... but let's hope it backfires and Oli requests a transfer.. then again I don't think he's that kind of lad
Fine.....leave it on the table and move on.
Such a lot of money for untested player at the highest level however I guess that is the climate we are living in .
I wonder if the Cadette will update us on this development ?
UTB

Football is bonkers, Celtic have turned down a reported £25 million for a defender who I have never heard of, Baldock must be worth £30 million in that case.
Celtic want Baldock for 2.5mil off us but their defender is worth £25mil.![]()
We are going to have to splash the cash I’m afraid to get our targets.
Double M are also gambles to be fair and you have to say enough is enough at some point. We can't just keep throwing another £2M or £3M into the deals, this is how the market just gets worse and worse. I appreciate though that it's a bit cutting your nose off to spite your face if we do end up missing out.Move on to who? If we don't get Maupay or McBurnie, who's our third choice? Presumably we'll buy someone already in the UK, so unless we can find someone with a year left on his contract or has a clause, he ain't going to be any cheaper than £10m. Unless we're going to start looking in Scotland, League One/Two?
Personally I'd rather pay £2m or £3m over the odds for Maupay or McBurnie than go for a bigger gamble from the bargain bin.
Exactly. I can imagine they are trying to stir up some interest from other clubs to see if they can start a bidding war before settling on something lessA bidding war with who?

Guess this suggests maupay is a no go then.
Shame.
Bid rejected
