I can only feel for the lad if there's been an agreement in place to let him go for the right money and the goalposts have been moved because multiple clubs are interested, that isn't fair. I'm sure we would've all liked more money for Tav but he wanted to go so we allowed it. Suppose it's a different sitch with no concrete interest from others clubs though. Who knows! I'm more interested in what the plan B is if we can't sign him. If we are looking for a target man with that amount of athleticism and link up, I wonder if Adebajo would be the next option.

Zlatan will now in turn disrespect those who have disrespected him by laying down Zlatan’s tools until he is once again respected. I am Zlatan and I will be heard and I will have my satisfaction.

I really don't think we bid again though, I think it's just a waiting game now. It's going to be a long two weeks! I doubt we go higher, three bids seems like you'd probably be at your maximum. What I could see is a potential restructuring of the same bid, moving some more money up front or whatever. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We do seem tough negotiators of late, apart from the Tav deal but I believe we let him go out of respect for him especially if we had promised. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon either especially given the akpom resurgence and the forss, hoppe signings. I would say the power is slowly transferring to us in this situation.

Tudders80 674 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Imagine if they came back to us and said 9 million euros and akpom. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Steve Bruce admitted in his post match interview that the club had to let Mowatt come to us on loan because they needed to reduce the wage bill, wow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kentucky 341 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Wilder as a problem, both Fry and Lenahan can't play left side CB , I think Fry has told him he's not playing there , he's refusing hence the cold shoulder , you can't blame him , his form would dip , and from being one of the better CB in the league to an average one, with less of a chance of a premiership.move, Is a move on now.?

Humpty 3,243 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think Wilder certainly prefers Lenihan probably because he’s his signing. That’s his prerogative. It all depends on whether the club are happy to let Fry leave. I don’t imagine Fry will be happy sitting on the bench but I don’t imagine Wilder will want to lose, who he see’s as, his back up centre half. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Is it not more Fry has told him he cant play there with his performances in the pre season games and cup game on Wednesday? He has been given a decent chunk of minutes to prove aptitude in the role.

EstonSmog 128 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I sometimes get a little bit of info at games. It’s been spot on all summer so no reason to doubt it. Apparently Greaves has/is very close to signing (I was told he signed yesterday), but that seems a quick turnaround from playing for Hull on Saturday to putting pen to paper on Sunday. But he’s keen either way I think. Before we signed Forss, I was told we’re hoping to invest £20m+ in the squad. So we’re trying. Obviously I don’t know on who etc and if that includes wages, just something I’d heard. So seems there’s money there without having to sell Fry. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DocMartin 682 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 He is a young kid still, hugely ambitious and clearly driven, that is a good sign for me. I don’t see him as being disrespectful, especially when we do not know the full facts, only the snippets (sorry) translated. Culture comes into it too as someone stated. But, if we do sign him, maybe we should appease the Norse gods and burn him anyway, just to be on the safe side. Link to post Share on other sites
