I was just about to say I'd be interested to see if Maddison goes for a set fee, or a fee with add ons, but Hercules has cleared that up above. £25M is a ridiculous fee for a Championship player with no Premier League experience, but I suppose from Norwichs' point of view they probably don't want to sell him so soon after selling Pritchard so have named a high price. Fair play to them really.

You are so wrong! :unsure:

There is at least 2 players, not even mentioned in the media (up and coming) both here and abroad. As much as we want British talent, the VFM is excessive, becoming high risk. Look at the Swans CH (we know who I am referring to). That was a deal ready to be done, even his dad thought it was a done deal. His club was asking a ridiculous amount,not too different from Sanchez. Ajax wanted over 50m for him, but came to their senses at a total package of circa 43m, not including wages, but his wages is less than what this particular CH wanted through his agents, as well as unrealistic agents fee.

There is the dilemma. Great example; Maddison allegedly 25m with sell on fee, or Kluivert (example only peeps), at 20m with add-ons. But fee at say 18m. These are the discussions right across that take place, before we finally commit on our final choice. Always leaving room for that extra special signing in the budget. There goes a hint:rolleyes:...

Love the info, thanks @Hercules

Sanchez over Mawson was a total no brainer, and great work from our transfer team.

If we could get say a Frenkie De Jong ahead of Maddison for a much better deal I'd go for that too. Ajax have been good to us. Kluivert like you mentioned (and have before) being another quality player we should be looking at, very skillful.

The inflated market for English talent means we have to really look after the likes of Winks and KWP and integrate them properly to keep our homegrown numbers up. It's also more reason to pay what it takes to get Sessegnon who looks 100% the real deal.

I guess we are leaning towards no first team (or threatening 1st 11) signing coming in during this window..

Prices have doubled since Neymar.
Superstar 100m plus
Special player 50m

In that light 25m for one of the hotter prospects seems a lot less extravagant. We have to get used to these inflated prices - or rather, Levy has to...

Still all positive, either now or summer!(y)

What we need to understand, Poch knows the spend budget he has for purchases, and add to that, he knows the wage budget. I can assure you it is a very good one, without selling. Though Daniel loves to get that out to get the selling club to cave ino_O

If Poch wants a player that had a budget value of say 20m, and we find out it is 30m, the club will back him. However, he knows that an excess 10m has been knocked off his total budget. Daniel will ask his views if he still wants to deal, making him aware also of his budget, if Poch still wants, we will do the deal.

Hope that makes sense.
People need to read this post over and over as it gives a simple explanation on how we operate as a club.
