Luton may well value him higher than we do. If we think he's a, for example, 5k a week later and they offer 10k, then it doesn't mean we weren't serious, just that we have a different opinion of his value. By some accounts we were in negotiations with him and made an offer. That's serious. If we wanted him, we would’ve signed him. We’re a Championship club in competition with a League 1 club. He clearly wasn’t high on our list. We’re currently spending serious money on a South American midfielder. That’s someone we’re seriously interested in. Link to post Share on other sites

In my mind I was thinking of Wycombe. With the exception of that, my point stands. If we were seriously interested in him, we would’ve signed him. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,444 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Luton seemed desperate to hold on to him and probably gave him a higher wage they they planned. We were obviously interested but clearly have numerous midfielders on our list so once his demands got to a certain level we just moved on, its not as simple as saying 'if we wanted him we would have got him'.

Humpty 3,261 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It is. We’re clearly better resourced. He wasn’t at the top of the shopping list. He’ll have been 2-3 players down the list. No biggy. Move on. Link to post Share on other sites
