Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[Roygbiv]

The problem is, we need him to last 46 games.

He will likely miss 5-6 games due to the Asian Cup. We definitely need another centre half just to cover us for that

Wilder said he wanted 2, and we absolutely need 2 if McG is surplus to requirements.

Let's see what happens.

Leicester must love us. £10m for Cannon, £10m for Souttar, be £10m for Choudhury next.

If true (big if), then 10m feels like too much for Souttar.

In a world of SCR we should absolutely be concerned about the club over-paying for players, especially for a depreciating asset like Souttar. This is a big commitment of the playing resources for both this and future seasons. It impacts our ability to build a competitive team for both this and future seasons. Its a big punt from the owners that will only pay off with a promotion.

Chuck Hamzah in and call it a deal … if not walk away

Maybe the people financing the club (the detested COH) have decided that Souttar is worth it and are prepared to pay the required fee.
Presumably they have a better take on their investments than any of us fans - no matter how much we want to slag them off?

It's not a case of "can we afford it". It's more "we're desperately short in 3 positions and shouldn't be spaffing all our budget on a single player".

When Norwich lost Nunez, they were smart and rebuilt their entire attack for £10m. Wilder chucking big money at a "statement signing" never works.

He’s not played over 30 league matches in a season since 20-21, it doesn’t seem likely he’ll play a full season any time soon

It costs less to stop other teams scoring against you than it does to guarantee out scoring other teams.

If money is tight, it's best to spend what you do have making yourself hard to beat. Half arsing it at the top of the pitch, at the expense of securing your own area, only guarantees that your shite in both boxes.

It can happen though.

Souttar’s appearance record is far worse!

 

[Champagneblade]

We bought young players based on a poker players recommendation, who happened to have investments in the clubs tje players played for

I like souttar but 10m for a player thats barely played a season in 6 is just madness.

Leicester paid 15m for him.

You can understand why they want around 10m.

Part of the reason for that is Leicester didnt pick him not that he was injured

Whatever the reason he wasn’t playing, I struggle to get my head around how we can value him at £10m+ when he’s barely played regularly in 5 years

Ok, £8m and McGuinness for Souttar and Hamzah. That's my final offer. I can't say fairer than that. I can type it, but I can't say it.
