RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Yeah you'd think we'd give him a 3-4 year contract. Link to post Share on other sites

I may be getting all of my valuations wrong but a player coming into the last year of his Blackpool contract cant be worth more than £250k max. Likewise Dijksteel. £2m may in time prove to be a bargain but I think they are taking our eyes out. Fair enough if loads of teams are in for him but its only us isnt it?

A player is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them...ergo, Bola is worth 1m and Dijksteel 2m. Link to post Share on other sites

You would think that if he does well over the first 18 months he will be offered contract bump and extension, if not then he will be low risk and sold or released Link to post Share on other sites

Kent will cost 7m, Bamford cost 10m and they have a mandatory buy price of 15m for Costa next season. Tell me how that is the same as Britt? Link to post Share on other sites

This means he can I understand that, but that would leave them very, very light on CFs. They would only have Bamford (who has had a fair few injuries) and Tyler Roberts who has no track record. They would need another CF, and they are expensive. They could loan one, but then it would likely be a young CF. Maybe they want Gestede haha Link to post Share on other sites
