Shane Long


doggface

Recommended Posts

Prices this season are mental.

 

7m for Ulloa

 

Leicester set to bid 10m for Deeney.

 

11m for McCormack

 

9m for 29 yr old Pelle

 

By those figures 10-12m is the going value.

 

Besides, you can never really tell on reported transfer values. Often the full amounts are never paid/received and its all paid in installments anyway.

What happened to all the talk a few weeks ago that if clubs want to buy players and the selling club doesn't want to sell then they have to pay over the odds? Does it only apply when we're the selling club?

 

No, it's that we've had a bid accepted apparently, surely there are better European options for that price? Hell, get in an exciting youngster, it's Shane Long ffs.

12m is the price we have to pay for seemingly wasting our summer trying to sign someone else who wasn't interested.

 

This cannot be true a terrible player not better than Billy Sharp. If we supposedly have agents crawling all over us with players what on earth are we doing signing this Championship class of player. An absolute disgrace no other word for it and that's if we paid £1m not 12!!!!!!!

Wtf is going on!!!!!!! Unbelievable

Of course not. It's understandable Hull want £12m for him.

 

It's not understandable that we want Shane Long at anywhere near that price.

There were better options than Lallana for £25m, yet I didn't hear too many people complaining when we held out for it.

Maybe we do really want him and that's what we have to pay to get him because hull don't want to sell.

Benteke £6m, Lukaku £15m (when he signed for Chelsea), Bony £12m.

 

They're out there, you just need a decent scouting setup to find them. We've just had a pants pulled down to be honest, want to be positive, I really do...but spending £12m on Shane Long stinks to high heaven of a club with utterly no idea or direction.

What's your point? Not interested in what other clubs pay for our players -if they overpay for them, all the better. Doesn't mean we have to. There isn't some unwritten code that you have to sell high and buy high.

Benteke and Lukaku were two years ago or more.

 

Bony fair enough but after Osvaldo, Mayuka, Ramirez etc it is perhaps understandable that we are looking at someone with PL experience, especially seeing as we already got an unproven player in Pelle.

I thought it would be obvious pal. If we want a player and the selling club don't want to sell, then we pay a premium for it. Just like other clubs did with us.

Exactly. At least some of the old crusties will stop banging on about the cost of Gaston etc. These are the going rates for half decent players with time on their contracts.

Bony's release fee is £18m apparently but no one has bought him yet as his wage demands are HUGE.

After the TV money increase it's a different market.

 

My house was valued at 217k last year, same house is 270k this year.

Would be acceptable mediocre squad player on a free or 1 million.

Can't believe we are going to to give hull a profit on their crazy panic buy last January.

If true board are in desperate panic state trying to avoid relegation.

Certainly not actions of club with ambition, looking to bring in players with ability to develop such as we did when we signed the likes of Rodriguez.

Yes exactly but Shane Long does not fit into the 'half decent' bracket. This is a bad dream - laughable!!!!
