tajjuk Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 If we get Barahino and West Brom get benteke Id argue we are getting the worse deal Exactly, for me Benteke is better than Behrahino. If you think we would pay 32m for a player you are supporting wrong club lol what? Doubt he's going to be £32 million for a start, but secondly if the player is good enough why wouldn't we pay £32 million? If the club refuse to buy a player because they have some pre-determined limit to their spending then they are making the wrong noises about ambition and progress.

The club have consistently said that the club needs to live within it's means and has to be self sufficient. That would rule out 32 million pound signings.

Completely different type of players but when you factor in cost of transfer fee and wages Berahino is by far and away the better purchase Berahino wages- 15k per week Benteke wages- 120k per week http://www.whatfootballersearn.com/player/christian-benteke/ just came across this and it shows you how much elite footballers have earned while you're viewing the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just ain't no VVD, who's technically and physically on a different level but Denayer held his own there.

Badger Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 After reading some of the names speculated on here over the last week I was hoping it might be Bruma or Gabbiadini, but on reading up on them both appear a bit too optimistic.

Mallagroth Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 (edited) Does the transfer window close tonight then? Slow clap round of applause for you. For the slower minds and pedants in the room I'll be clearer on what I wrote: There were rumours of a transfer today or yesterday that would be impressive before our opening game of the season and it is disappointing that this wasn't the case and hasn't materialised but not a huge surprise, no biggy it wouldn't have effected much other than some feel good going in. Puel thinks Redmond has comparisons with Thierry Henry, tomorrow is our first game of the season and next up we have man Utd so we will have to have faith that Puel is right at least for the next few weeks. If any transfer does yet happen it is disappointing it couldn't be done sooner because new signings take time to gel, however that is the nature of the transfer season and why they should open transfer window as soon as season ends and shut the window before new season begins.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Where I'm confused is that there seemed to be such a sense of anticipation about there being a new signing yesterday but today is far more sedate. Was the Tadic new contract the signing after all of yesterday's "excitement"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsaint Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Plenty of time left in the window to get an attacking midfielder in. If it is a marquee signing i would rather they got over the line eventually rather than miss out and be forced to bring in a second or third choice target. The team we have to start the season is a very good one. Redmond and Hojberg are great additions as well as the squad fillers McCarthy and Pied.

View From The Top Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 The only people excited about a big signing yesterday were the muppets who believe every little rumour. If you're disappointed that it didn't materialise then perhaps you need to re-evaluate your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 I think we all knew the Tadic contract was going to happen. With all the talk and ITK posts going on , it was a bit disappointing nothing materialised. However, the squad is in reasonable shape for our first few games, we really should be winning tomorrow. I have faith we still have a couple lined up, and although we won't perform as well in the league, I'm absolutely buzzing for the Europa League, and hope we take it seriously.

UpweySaint Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Club just released a PR video - foreshadowing a signing? Probably in a minority but bloody loved that, amazing to see just how far we have come as a club. I still have memories of seeing us being relegated amongst a pub full of WBA fans and having a sense of dread for the club. Don't get me wrong still very keen to see one or two more quality additions but sometimes it doesn't hurt to take a second and reflect on just how brilliant our journey has been over the last seven years.
