BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Kyle Walker has gone to City for about £50million record fee for a defender Crazy bonucci cost 10 million less Crazy Bonucci, isn't he an Italian mafia boss? I seem to remember he had small part in the Goodfellas movie Ah that's right. He was the cousin. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If they've matched our bid it will be out in more reputable sources very shortly. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Translation say Burnley have now matched our bid and its up to the player. Few hours earlier this account said that Britt was set to sign for us. Dont think that accounts well connected. Previous tweet said he would sign for us in the coming hours. Prob just going off the newspapers Hope not, because surely he'll pick PL over us even if it is Burnley and they off him less wages. Guess we'll see soon Not sure many Championship footballers would turn down £60k a week. Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 So with Roberts in the defence roster, currently we have: RB - Christie / Roberts CB - Ayala / Baptiste CB - Gibson / Fry LB - Friend / Fabio Still feel like we are a CB short. Are we after Bartley? We have that mahmutovic as a backup also, but still seems a little light unless a few kids really step up. That Mahmutovic lad looked pretty good against Oxford. Early signs are he could develop into a canny little player... Link to post Share on other sites

FTR I do understand your point of view as well; I just feel that footballers careers are so short the vast majority of them will take the money where they can; especially with agents whispering in their ears. I'm not saying he WON'T take no extra money for a guaranteed year in the Prem, I just think it's unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The problem with that scenario is that Gibbo doesn't like paying agents their cut, which may work against us. Link to post Share on other sites

Guess we'll see soon Not sure many Championship footballers would turn down £60k a week. Not sure many Championship players would turn down Premier League football. Why do people think money talks so much when choosing between leagues? The difference isn't like the PL and China. It's not that significant. I used to get paid a ton to do web development. The financial aspects would have grown even bigger over a short period too. But when it came to doing what I actually wanted to do, games development, I sacrificed all the financial benefits. Because when the options are there, you want to ply your trade where you feel you're challenged the most. Link to post Share on other sites

Raf smog 651 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 They are playing games i personally dont think they have any intention of selling to us. I get the impression we are being used to get premier teams involved we need to move on now. Link to post Share on other sites
