Lets chuck £10 million at them then?

Why? They only want a measly £3.5
Thank **** you're not in charge of the budget

Th guy has one year left on his contract so I can see the clubs point of view. The player and the agent are desperate for the move but Ingolstadt are trying to hold out. I think there may well be a deal somewhere in between those two figures.
It's clear we are looking mainly abroad for value but at some stage we will need to splash some much bigger money which is likely to be a striker / Attacking midfielder
Yet his agent believes it's a good offer - why pay over the odds?
Markus Klimesch, who represents Suttner, has accused Ingolstadt of playing poker at his expense.
He said: “The offer from Brighton is absolutely appropriate and five times what Ingolstadt paid to Austria Vienna two years ago.
“It makes no sense to hold a player against his will.
“Markus wants to switch, the Premier League is his absolute dream.
“He has asked for release several times.”
What if he's not worth what they're asking?
Anyone can look good in a highlight reel. Do you remember the gushing praise for Paddy McCourt based on his youtube highlights reel?

Equally thank **** you're not in charge of the budget. We're not a club who are suddenly going to start over-paying hugely. We don't think he is worth 3.5 so we won't pay it. Simples.
Burt surely £3.5 million is a championship budget....

Totally agree, there have been other examples of this with some of our poorer signings as well. Highlight reels are really not worth anything. You can edit anything to make it look good

Silly old bat
Maybe he could do a Shane Duffy, and start scoring own goals, or getting sent off.

Its more about how much value is in a player, than how much you spend. We paid 2 1/2 million ish for Knocky, and 3 1/2 million for CMS, who is the better player? If we can get bargains, I'm all for it, as long as CH wants the player, and he wants to come to us. Let's leave the willy waving over who pays extortionate transfer fees, to the serial debtors up the road.

If the club do, thats fine by me. Never heard of most of our signings before they arrive generally

I expect Mr Hughton does.
the same can be said for most signings surely.
But a couple of hundred Bundesliga appearances and caps for Austria suggest he is half decent..
Before politics and racism came along to spoil NSC, a good chunk of the traffic on here was laughing at Pompey and palace for overspending on players x, y & z.
All the while being grateful that Tony isn't like other owners and proud our club is owned by one of the sharper knives in the cutlery draw.

What worries me, is that if we don't think he's worth 3.5m, is he good enough for the Premier League? I understand we don't want to pay it if we don't have to, but......
I believe he has only one year left on this contract.
So the fee we are offering i assume must be a good one, taking that into account.
100% agree, Maybe we should go all out and spunk Money on players left right and centre.
It also shows other clubs we are willing to do business but not be ripped off just because we have Pemier League Money. As soon as we start throwing it around, other clubs we are doing business with will want a little more.
What if the extra 'it's only a million of so' comes straight out of the marquee striker budget?
Which would you prefer:-
Setting a precedent by paying over the odds on only the third deal this window
Or
Laying down a marker now, with 'just' a left back, to strengthen negotiations with the bigger more important deals to come?.

I have no idea what our striker budget is, so I can't really answer that. I accept that the club know far more than I do, but to me 3.5m seems cheap for a Premier League class defender. I expect they know what they are doing and will get him a little cheaper.
