RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Barkley is out for six weeks, and don't think we're really after him though. It seems the only CM who is close now is double D. If we manage to get him around 25m, I would not complain. Better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else feel sad that it's coming down to this? Having to get bodies in purely for the sake of having bodies as opposed to getting in players of top quality to strengthen the team. Awful scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,903 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 £40m for Deinkwater is about as laughable as £45m for Siggurdson. Think about the class of player you could've bought just a few short years ago for this amount. Staggering how out of control things have gotten.

They've literally got infinite money. But smaller, midtable sides like Everton being able to spend £45m on an average player or small clubs like Southampton or Leicester being able to ask tens of millions for their players now is the most staggering thing. In order to compete for the title in the PL going forward you'll almost be required to spend mega money every summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matuidi is ramires mark 2, and he isn't homegrown, partnered our best central midfielder in a title winning season, and isn't a premier league player who garners a larger fee.

Pizy 18,903 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Doesn't Sergi Roberto have a release clause around that amount? He's on another planet talent wise than Drinkwater. The hell don't we go after him!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you know that around turn of century Betis and Lazio paid ridiculous fees for players? Betis broke world record for Denilson, they paid more money for him than Inter for Ronaldo9. And Lazio bought Crespo and Mendieta for around 40m euros each, unbelievable scenes. But look at Lazio and Betis after...they ultimately failed with their attempts to be super clubs. You know funniest thing however, there is more money in football than ever, specialy in PL. Everton can probs afford to pay 100m plus every summer from now on. However we act like we have same or even less money than 10 years ago lol. Its obvious that on long term, we wont be competitive anymore if we insisit with same strategy. I agree we shouldnt be throwing money away just like that, but we will simply have to spend more if we want players that can make difference.

Rapkun 668 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well, that's what happens when you try to buy players so late in the transfer window. Also, we should never have sold before getting a replacement first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were links, enquiries were reportedly made, but nothing followed. No point in making a bid when you know it's a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We are doing this window so wrong IMO. Would be better if we bought foreign midfielder and target someone like Redmond if we need more homegrown players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
