ZanSnake 1,211 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If we are signing players, sign them in quick succession so we can bleed them through the team asap. Spent far too long being the cautious and rather tepid approach to signing players.We need a left back? Sign one. Need a winger - sign one.With the amount from the TV revenue, competition success, and the new kit money, should easily have enough to sign players that we help the team suffice, even for the season.

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 What a joke, I remember Di Marzio reported that we offered 15m€ for him in early July and they wanted 20m€, we dragged this with shitty add-ons letting Roma do their talking too. Since then we sold Filipe and now Augsburg want 30m€ seeing our desperation.Well done lads. 30m€ for no-name is a robbery, nowadays every young player who played semi-decent season has doubled normal price based on 'potential' and 'longevity'.We eventually land him I think, we add Marin or some youngster to the deal and 25m€ is too much money for Augsburg to reject. But I think there's good warning for the club that it's better to develop own youngsters with all the factors that heavily influence final price for other young players, who were simply given a chance.

J.F. 1,484 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 30m for him is fuckin insane, fuck Augsburg, go and sign Rodriguez from Wolfsburg, his left foot is better than whole Augsburg, this guy is overrated as fuck, Pedro from Barcelona is available for 30m, and they want same amount of money for this guy?

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Easy. Walk out of this one. He will never be more expensive than this. Rather promote ake who has been solid or kalas who have performed every time when called upon. Not that we can't pay the money. But we shall not be held to ransom. Leave Augsburg with an unhappy player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 We all know Mou has a blind faith for whatever fuckin reason in Bane so I'm afraid I cant see Dave taking his spot no matter who e bring in as a LB. Or we could have just brought in a RB.Im wondering right now seeing as its not going to be our year that we dont pay the blackmail we are being forced to pay for Stones/Baba and we spend the year finding and kissing the arses of the players that we do desperately need,I know both the lads are good and would both probably do ok with us but just maybe we could get better for the same amount or maybe even a bit more. It smacks of desperation now with the other clubs knowing our situation and how we do need these players badly so of course they want to get as much out of us as they can and who can blame the greedy gits.

The Mak 4,459 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 So it was €20m, then it went up to €25m and now they've obviously seen Brana on his zimmer frame yesterday and decided to bump it up again to €30m. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If Augsburg have rejected a £25m bid for Rahman that's ridiculous! I'm still unconvinced this guy is the right mould for our defence, I've never actually seen him play.. I've only seen videos on YouTube!£55m for Stones and Rahman ... £5m more than how much we paid for Fernando Torres in 2011. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Is he better then Bertrand? Sold and English player for 10 mill and spend twice that for someone like him? makes sense how Mourinho and the club do things.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 in certain games Dave should play at RB. Bran has his worth..he adds a threat to get on the end of set plays.against less direct LW/LM he is fine..his ability to play CB is another plus.he should always be in our matchday squad but not always starting at RB. certain LW/LM`s give him kittens and we need another option there. personally I would have kept Kalas around last season and this. but that ship has sailed.we desperately need to bring in another full back..LB is the obvious choice because we have no natural left footers in our first team squad. I wouldn`t up the price for Baba..i would offer a player,possibly even 2 who have no way back into our first team squad. if that fails I would tell them to fuck off and promote from within if no other LB becomes available who is good enough and then look at RB`s.we kinda lost leverage in selling Luis before we had a replacement but Augsburg has a player who they know wants to leave and have already bought his replacement so I`d say that has evened it out.

Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Bertrand at 25 (now 26) and in the mix for England was not going to stay to be back up any longer. I wish fans would move on from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Here is a quick thought, since Augsburg clearly want to rip us how about we go for Lucas Digne, Fabio Coentrao, Kieran Gibbs or even sign back AC3. All short term signings but would still improve our fullbacks without costing much then we can wait for Baba and get him next year if his really that good?
