1 in front of both fees. That's not unreasonable, is it? Martinez went for 20m, sameish age, after half a season. Leno's a proven German intl.
And how did we have a deal for the wops to buy LT for 15m and then they just say no?
I get the squad's being rebuilt, and this is looking like a 2nd decent summer window in a row for the first time in ages.
But I think these dastardly foreigners are taking the mick. Do they not have Cheese & Onion Discos over there?
I imagine the club just don't care about the money and would rather just give these players away.Quote:

That's the point.Quote:

Would be nice to get most of the clear out done. I still want another MF - that's where we're weak, and have been ever since we decided to ditch Gwedndo, Ozzy and LT and only buy Partey.
Leno deal…
£3m up front
£1m for number of PL appearances
£2m if the stay up
£2m if the stay up a 2nd time
So at this stage it’s only £3m for a top class premier league proven goalkeeper.
Lol
Pat Vegas Maths says if he plays every game for Fulham we will get £38m for him.Quote:

Definitely not a sellers' market for the big clubs
What did you think of the Aubameyang deal LA? I thought it odd at the time but perhaps it was correct.Quote:

I think Tielemans will come - not too sure if he is the right player but Mikel seems to want himQuote:

Yeah - Edu said as much about Aubameyang, just a case of shifting him on. Thing is it hasn't seemed to be impinge on our ability to buy this summer so we can't really argue.Quote:
