[Albion] Adam Webster to Saudi FC

[dylan_bha]

Hey hey easy with the LA jokes!! We have arguably the country's leading goal scorer here at LTFC - Joe Benn, currently on 56 in all competitions!

£0 for Locadia
£0 for Andone
£0 for Connolly.

You win some, you lose some, but I think the wins outweigh the losses.

I still hope and believe there's a player hiding somewhere in your list, even if there's also an elbow in the face and a good turntable).

Just turned 27 early this month and Albion's captain in Dunk's absence.

Capped at U18 and U19 levels, one would hope he'd be recognized by England soon and called up into the squad.

That might add another £5-10m onto the price tag.

We saw how White's offers went from £20m, £25m and £30m with Leeds, then £40m, £47m and £50m with Arsenal.

I'd value Webster at around £60m now, but still wouldn't want to sell at that price factoring in age and importance.

 

[Napper]

I'd take 50

When he's good he is very very good but doesn't back it up week in week out.

50m be a good price and we have a good production line at CB

Only £50m is ridiculously cheap for Dunk II.

Why would HE come for Potter.

It wasn’t him that identified him or made him our top choice.

Because identifying new manager candidates would be part of the DOF's remit

As if Either total bollocks or they're trying to force Sevilla's hand over Diego Carlos by 'pursuing' someone they have no chance of getting.

Its very cold up north especially on a Tuesday night playing Blackpool in Lancashire

is the correct answer

I have to say as a massive Potter fan, that if he chases the money and blood and goes to Newcastle, I’ll say good riddance. I will be shocked though

He owes TB not Ashworth as I’m pretty sure Ashworth hasn’t actually dug into his own pocket to support the Albion

I also can’t see TB allowing Ashworth to go unless he signs a watertight legal undertaking of a “no poaching” agreement that will last a few years

Potter is going to be on the radar of all big clubs and surely will want to compete at the very highest level. If he wants to stay here forever then great, but I doubt it.

He'll want to go somewhere with solid foundations, so if they employ Ashworth it ticks that box. We can say what we want about Newcastle and the Saudis, but they are here and they are going to become one of the best football teams in the country, like it or not. On a purely football basis it is a great fit for him. Maybe he'd have doubts, but when they lay out a vision.... I'm concerned, put it that way.

Can't see any legal basis for a no poaching agreement that would stand up

 

[southstandandy]

Why would he be wanting to play Championship football again next season?

 

[portslade seagull]

They can do one. Looks like most of their foreign targets are swerving them, let us do the same

 

[Seagull58]

If the Geordies are genuinely thinking and planning long-term why would they dump Smug Eddie in the summer (if they stay up)? It doesn't make sense and would surely worry the hell out of Potter if they came for him.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

£100 million minimum ?

 

[madinthehead]

£100 million minimum ?

If Maguire cost 80 mill...... Sounds about right

 

[Stat Brother]

If Maguire cost 80 mill...... Sounds about right

If that £80m is the benchmark, the horse punchers can have me for £70m.

 

[Mancgull]

I expect our reply is that he’s not for sale.
I wonder why all these enquiries are being reported on. It seems as if Newcastle are quite happy for the rumours to get out there so that they could ‘unsettle’ a few players. I think this approach can backfire as it shows how many players they’ve made approaches for and how many are not prepared to go. Also shows the number of clubs that are going to play hard ball with them.

 

[origigull]

That's the trouble of being a club which seems to be on the up. Our players are wanted by almost every top club (or bottom club in Newcastle's case). They think they can just phone up TB and say we want so-and-so and we will roll over. Realistically we should only sell one top player a season if we are thinking of moving up the league and joining the elite teams in Europe . . .but who is going to be sold first?

My money's on Ben White.

Basically they are linking themselves with every player on the planet, so I'm not overly concerned.
