Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[FriethBlade]

Club cant win, pay 10m and its "too much" walk away and its "we shd have signed him and now we will have to play McGuiness"

Hard i know but I think we have to get over the fee and go with Wilders judgement. All of us think its pricey but it may be even more "expensive" not signing him.

One thing is for sure Wilder has big balls nailing his mast to 2 very expensive aging players with injury records!

 

[NathTheBlade]

Is he coming or what I am reyt confused what’s happening

There might not be another CH as tall or as aerially dominant, but there are many more options out there good enough and notably cheaper.

Who else is bidding with us at the current supposed price?

[Jan Age]

Russsel Martin giving it the big un I hear… put our full and final in the table and start to talk to other targets…

It’s clear we are the current only bidders and Leicester are dragging it out in the hope someone else comes in …

It’s gonna take Harry to tell them he wants to leave and only to us to get them to shift now…

But we must definitely need to move on other targets as once again as predicted we’ve done our business slowly and we aren’t fully prepared for the first games of the season

So he’s Coming

 

[Kenilworth]

Against a piss poor Mansfield side…

Can only beat what is in front of you.
We couldn’t beat a loss poor Birmingham side in the first round last time.

 

[Kenilworth]

Fanny wi pes? New Dutch winger?

At least we know which posters buy Femfresh at the supermarket but the final destination is not their Mrs

 

[Drachblade]

.

How reliable is this guy though?

 

[luffenhamblade]

Must have watched a different game too me, let's put it this way i won't be rushing to Ladbrookes to back Mansfield for promotion.

I guess it’s about expectations.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

At this stage I would go in with £12m+
I would wait for Russel 'dross' Martin to accept defeat that his captain is on his way and then pull the plug and stick 2 fingers up at them.
For £10m, we could get a quality CB and Winger, if this isn't done by close of play tomorrow drop the interest.

 

[coolasanidiot]

I loved Souttar first time around but 10 million feels 6 million too much. They had our pants down over Cannon and now this, I would be tempted to tell them FO.

It's a huge gamble - boot on the other foot Souttar would be in Leicester first thing and we'd have 4 million. Makes you feell ill.

 

[Davalon]

Fuck it , let's bid 20 mill for the laugh.

We can flog Peck, One, and Seriki to fund it.

Just stupid to put this amount of money in a player with no resale value and being the only bidders.

Like we did McGuinness and Chong?

It’s more annoying that we fanny around when signing players, but seemingly takes us no time at all to sell em. Only took 2 bids for Hamer, and about 20mins of negotiation for poor Brooks. Amount of times we start a season ill-prepared is bonkers.

It’s called ‘every time’

 

[sportsmanblade]

10 million feels like were being robbed for a player who was out for a whole year its got car crash written all over it putting all our eggs in one basket

 

[S64 Blade]

Need to walk away from this now.

Again United are in a negotiation with a poor hand.

We see it time and time again.

We’re in a bidding war with ourselves, having doubled or thereabouts our initial bid.

yeh they would have counter offer so if we want him then we have to pay up

Poor hand when we've offered 10 million!

 

[Balti Pie]

Mad how you can just say no to selling your best players though. We really ought to try it one year

We did, and it got us promoted. Plus a two point deduction once we dropped back into the Championship.

 

[sportsmanblade]

see how jamma plays at weekend, hes earned a chance this pre season looked very assured nice passing range and put body on line .
who could we get for 5 or 6 mil of a souttar stature which is realistically what we should be paying for league 1 players from teams desperate for money! I understand a add on of 2 to 3 mill if we get promoted would make sense. could take a risk on adam webster as a free agent who's recovering from ACL

 

[de g.]

They are not convenient omissions as you allege.
I was talking about player trading in the sense of buying & selling.
What our academy produces has been very good and more than justifies its existence - I can't fault it.
But other clubs but players on their upward trajectory and sell at a profit.
We have barely ever done that , which is a shame and limits our success

Outside of relatively few clubs, most of whom are established PL teams, how many do as you say though?

I'm struggling to think of any clubs that our kind of level who routinely pick up up-and-coming players which they then sell on for big money. With the restrictions on foreign players and the success or bust mentality of the league as a whole, it's just not a workable model.

 

[Proper Blade]

Not quite sure how Leicester are in any kind of a financial position to be demanding £10m for anyone! They're bleeding cash and not a million miles off administration yet are rejecting £6m bids for players. Make it make sense!

 

[S64 Blade]

Poor hand when we've offered 10 million!

You’re taking poor in the literal sense.

I’m saying we have a poor hand to play when we have gone from an initial bid to one that’s double that we set out with, with no other bidders involved.

What’s Leicester’s incentive to sell when we keep upping the bid? We’re about double where we started, for a player who’s played very few games for his age and is returning from a serious injury.

When there’s someone daft enough to pay it, it’s easy to demand it.

 

[Brownieblade]

Maybe Leicester aren’t in as big a deep hole as many think

Maybe there aren’t many or any really cheap CB left, less than a week before season starts, that all other clubs have passed on

Because they know we are desperate to sign him. Similar situation to Gus we should have said to Coventry start at 10 million. We would have got it. Sadly we are bad at buying and even worse at selling.
