you're right, they don't. one thing to be a top class player, but a top class number 9 is a different level of valuable. therefore, his price will have to reflect that. there should be at maximum around five clubs who can actually afford him, and if there's more then we're selling him too cheap
would just point out that you become a lot more likely to do your second ACL once you've done the first. happened to ings, wilson too I think, and is currently happening to kalajdzic at wolves. the fact he's on the other side of both injuries is a lot better
don't think we could do the wages for this one due to west ham/spurs interest but would be a really nice idea otherwise

we're definitely alright, but we could be minus two forwards come the end of this window. as crap as undav has been and as absent as trossard has been, that's still two bodies. another general forward-y type player definitely required now imo if we want to keep up the push for top 8.
agree. we need to focus on getting someone lined up and then we can maybe revisit later as there will still be a few desperate clubs in the championship come deadline day
this being a good move hinges on that happening though, losing two attackers in just one window only makes sense if we truly are bringing in another forward. as ineffective as undav has been, he's still another body in the squad
free ticket to a pl winners medal, happy for him to go. shame it had to end like that but that was of his own doing. does now mean that we have ought to be bringing someone in soon though
well in that case I'd be all for using it as a tactic to get even more money out of them. if, in the grand scheme of things, they have to pay us £7 million for saying no to our request to loan their player, then it's worth an ask imo
90 Min (yes, I know) says we may be prepared to pursue another loan move if we can't get him here permanently

everything in there is factual but from the comparative way it's written, it came across as a bit RDZ= good, GP= bad. like obviously that mentality is something which has been fostered since RDZ came in, but I don't agree with the inference that we we're only now in a position to properly...
