Considering he was a free transfer and we still didn't match Luton's offer, I think we dabbled looking for a cheap addition. You can have serious interest but if your wage structure is lower then that's that. Link to post Share on other sites

We have a wages budget with it allocated to various positions/ players. For example, would you sign Mpanzu if it meant not getting Payero? Mpanzu priced himself out of a move to us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That would make more sense than being priced out by Luton….alternatively we weren’t seriously interested. Edited July 20, 2021 by Humpty Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I don't think it's a question of if we could match it, more our willingness to if anything. Is Mpanzu a significant enough improvement to our squad that demands pushing our boundaries in any way? Not from my point of view to be honest but then I don't think there are many players we've been linked with this summer that fit that description. Link to post Share on other sites
