Idk guys. If Vlad is off, that means we need 2 center halves. We're really going to be bringing in 6 new players this window, if Schneiderlin and Rodriguez do come? I say no to both. Keep Sandro. Sign a left winger who isnt out until October at the earliest. Keep Vlad, sign anoter center half. Object is to settle! Not try to blood in another 6 players after our 7 last year struggled a bit to get settled!

Feel a bit sorry for @Archibald&Crooks . None of this has anything to do with actual ITK but all this has happened so quickly that this thread has become uncontrollable :p:D.
Nah, I understand when it gets like this there's nothing to do but let if flow (up to a point), but it's HOW it got like this. If it is all bollocks it'll be a very long time before whoever brought the offending tweet into this thread sees us again :)

Now, do I have to trawl through and find the perp or would someone care to bubble him up? :sneaky:

Me neither. Davies, Schneiderlin, Rodriguez and one new CB seemed far wiser. 4 new players and Vorm.

This is post Bale era, hence players valuation has gone up.
You're saying that the Bale transfer has set a new precedent for high transfer fees? Never thought of it like that :) . You're probably right as well.

Interesting (y)


There you have it.


Daniel Levy fucked up the transfer market :LOL::ROFLMAO:

£30m still buys you a World Class player, lets put a bit of perspective on this. J-Rod is effectively worth a couple of million in his current condition, so we would be paying well over the odds for Schniederlin. For that kind of money I'd want a player that really is a stand out talent. Anyway, lets see what the fee really is before we continue the debate (y)

lolololol

And the Sky tv money, even the minnows are 60m+ better off now so the market has inflated upwards

Let's remember they just got £16m for a kid who had only played 21 times at senior level.

They've all played PL though. Huge difference. They are all proven, I might add.

Transfer valuations have been going up each year. World Cup years especially! Look at the amount Liverpool have paid this summer, a ton of money on several players. If the selling clubs know you're going to be getting a lot of money or already have that money then the valuations go up by just that alone. Several clubs fighting for said players, the selling club may ask for a lot of money to ward off interested suitors. Valuations rise for a number of reasons, but in general they have probably increased with every summer that passes.

Not sure if we should be going for Rodriguez at this moment. Should wait until January atleast. We need someone on the left who can play straight away. Good news on Morgan if true.

If we sell Chadli (please NO), I'll agree with you but until then, we have a more than capable player to play on the left.
