CONFIRMED Cameron Archer signs for the Blades - 4 year contract

[Davalon]

How far does this date back out of interest because I’m wondering if you are infringing on my intellectual property rights. Or vice versa.

My lawyers have instructed me to say no comment

Like Aaron ramsay who went for 14m?

I think Archer has performed at a higher level than Ramsay IMHO, hence you’d pay a premium.

 

[Blade58]

2 of those are defensive midfielders

Hopefully then we break up play and therefore have more possession to try and create something?

All teams have creative and defensive midfielders. We’ve hopefully improved in the middle to enable a bit more creativity.

It was always going to be tough staying up but perhaps we give ourselves a chance now if we can bring a striker (or two) in

He never ever nails it.

You've got them mixed up pal. It was Eric the Eel. Eddie the Eagle was the ski jumper.

Yeah I remember Eddie the Eagle. I just thought they’d changed the animal

£18 million seems steep for a player proved at championship level only with limited experience. If the prince is happy to spend that then surely better experience available in the foreign market, for example Elye Wahi, or that Mikautadze lad.

 

[Wards]

We.Wont.Pay.18.Million.

People need to get real this is the Premier League now not the championship.

We are up against many of the best teams in world football unless we want to get embarrassed we are going to have to invest in our squad.

If the signing guarantees we stay up….then it’s a great piece of business.
but if we’re relegated at best we’d break FFP rules and face a points deduction, at worse we’d go into admin/ bust.

Pleased you’re not doing the deals….its too much of a risk.
Makes me feel like saying would you gamble your house (as a deposit) that we stay up?
Think 99% of Blades, would say no way. Gambles should never be foolhardy just in case the gamble fails.

However do appreciate that when it’s someone else’s money it’s tempting to demand they take the risk and gamble
but we heard all the ”pay Liverpool whatever they want” and ”player the player what ever he wants” for Brewster.
Apparently Brewster was going to be Harry Kanes strike partner for England. Look how that turned out.

In case you aren't aware that's how negotiating works, we offer 10million they say no we want 18m. We say we'll give you 12 they say 16 and we meet somewhere in the middle.

 

[Blade58]

We.Wont.Pay.18.Million.

No we won’t but as Flatulent Bob says that’s AV’s starting point just as ours was apparently £10m

Hopefully we can agree on somewhere in the middle?

Agree, weve got 2 of em already.....

Because we could never just sell the player?

Not sure about that mate.

8 goals and 4 assists in 21 starts last season, from midfield.

Welease Camewon!

 

[DronnieBlade]

Just me that thinks we need more of a stereotypical English CF with power pace and height ?

[Thrice]

There should be a way to lower the price with add-ons and maybe a sell-on clause. If both teams as well as the player want a deal, there should always be a way.

That would be nice. Those types of players who are Premiership quality will typically set you back 4+ times what Archer would cost.

Souza and Hamer in the middle. Traore and Archer off McBurnie?

And he goes by the name of McBurnie!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

My dad used to have a viola, it was lovely hearing him play. Just brought back good memories.

Can't spell froggie words

 

[DronnieBlade]

And he goes by the name of McBurnie!

Power and pace .

I guess one out of 3 ain’t bad !

UTB

 

[Blade56]

We paid £23m for Brewster 2 years ago, no 1st class goals or 1st team experiance. Just sayin

 

[Colombia Blade]

Well, compared to the top 4 scorers in the Championship, when taking into account minutes/goals scored, McBurnie outperformed 3 of them:

Chuba Akpom - 28 goals - 1 goal every 118 minutes
Viktor Gyokeres - 21 goals - 1 goal every 206 minutes
Carlton Morris - 20 goals - 1 goal every 185 minutes
Joel Piroe - 19 goals - 1 goal every 200 minutes

Oli McBurnie - 13 goals - 1 goal every 171 minutes
Cameron Archer - 11 goals - 1 goal every 141 minutes

The same stat also looks very favourably for Archer as well

 

[BladeInIreland]

18m isn't ridiculous in this market. I don't think we should pay it but it's hardly mental. If we can get him for closer to the 10m than the 18m then great. If not unfortunately we are not in a position to "just sign him" and will need to look elsewhere. We need to make sensible decisions considering we will very likely be going down and a takeover isn't a sure thing.

We also sold Brooks to a newly promoted team after one good season for only 12m.

18m is steep for Archer imo

 

[Champagneblade]

Oh dear!

Next

PS: Who is next? Can’t think of anyone?

Morelos

Right price.

Can drop deep like Ndiaye.

Good shot on him.

Walking red card and possible fitness issues aside, he could be an underrated signing.

175 goals and 75 assists in 354 games says he’s not the total liability some would have you believe and he’s able to do it when he knuckles down.

He’s a no right now. But if we start getting knocked back, he could be this season’s Mousset without the 10m fee. He might also be second season Mousset too of course!

Linked with Santos right now though not strongly yet.

I like Archer but I'm a bit sceptical of these Middlesbrough players who played in a very attacking, fluid team. That's not going to be us. A bit like how Peterborough or previously Brentford always had an expensive striker for sale because they played in a way that created lots of chances.

 

[DronnieBlade]

That would be nice. Those types of players who are Premiership quality will typically set you back 4+ times what Archer would cost.

The lad at Stuttgart was £12m and worth every penny from what these mincers can tell !

This is the “type” id be going for. Would work well with an Archer.

That was 5 years ago. Even the price of bread has doubled in last 12 months.
