Thread: We're not gonna sign him, are we? Why get everyone's hopes up and then refuse to pay

    I keep reading just how much of a c unt he really appears to be

    I can't work out if it's sour grapes from other managers, or not.
    Bayern is usually the natural home for Dortmund's elite and they wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

    That silver Porshe is pure Adebayor and look what a c unt he turned out to be.

    I'd definitely still take a punt on the lad.

    tbf Bayern have probably got the best pure centre forward in the world, but Heynckes has come out and said they don't want him as well which was an odd step

    I wasn't referring to this summer. I meant the summer where we were forced to sign Gabriel in the following January because we had left ourselves with only chambers as cover.

    The excellent monreal

    It’s not hard though is it? The spurs model is actually quite clever, new contract for more money every couple of years means you never get to a point where players are running their contract down

    Far easier to do when they are home grown (Kane) or were bought for peanuts (Delli Ali) as you are starting from a lower base. If you pay someone 150 grand from the start you cant jump up hugelyevery couple of years. Anyway, one assumes we did try to get Sanchez and Ozil to sign two summers ago and they refused. I doubt very much that we leave it until the summer where they have one year left. If we do, we are totally ****ing incompetent.

    fancy bidding £40m for a striker like him in today’s market.

    Would price him in the £90m to £110m range.

    Guess Arsenal want him but don’t want to overpay so trying to find the right price.

    If push comes to shove then I’m happy for Giroud to join Chelsea to help get more funds in.

    I'm glad we're telling them that it's 50m or we walk away.

    They'll accept 50m on deadline day and we'll then change the offer to 45m.
    Juventus paid £75m for Higuaín who was also not 29.

    And do you really have to have a pic of yourself in your favourite jeans?
