Yes I notice this. Almost as if the mainstream media love to exaggerate fees! Problem is, these iniatial fees / rumours stick and fans assume the higher amount... Not that it overly matters but still...

Or the selling club are happy to dumb down the price so they dont get mugged off for a replacement.

Do you think clubs aren't aware of what others are paying in the market? Even if it wasn't news Maguire going to united for £80m, other clubs would be aware of the fees paid.

Obviously I have been working too hard or dreamt it but I could of sworn there was an additional bit to this tweet or another tweet about a major signing that we hadn't been linked with so far.
Sorry Guys, I must of dreamt it
No, i read the same.
I don't know much about Twitter but my understanding is that this Owen post was in direct response to an Albion fan who said something like 'Maupay almost done, Albion also very close to another signing, not previously linked, over £30 million'.
Seems a little strange he'd do this unless there was at least some truth in it.

It doesn't read like that on twitter unfortunately. Owens tweet looked a fresh one - if it was in reply it would have that fans @ in the reply or a quote in his tweet which it doesn't. This also suggest it's just Maupay he means:
I think that probably justifies the reference to a “stunning” weekend with potentially two eight-figure signings, a win over Valencia, 16,000 at a 7pm Friday evening friendly and one of their under-23s starring for Leeds in the Championship. #bhafc
Hope I'm wrong but I think he just meant Maupay.
If I see one more "Announce Maupay" tweet from some berk that had know idea who he was pre-July, I'm going to lose my mind... The "mute" button on twitter has never had more usage than it has during this transfer window.
Just "announce Maupay" and be done with it!

This is why I don't do twitter. The 'Gifs' and trends the kids use like 'announce so and so' are so ****ing cringey! It's become a cringeball rather than a place of news IMO... Gone are the days we use twitter for asking genuine questions - like 'Brian, do you mean another signing aside from Maupay or are you referring to Maupay' in reference to that tweet, as discussed above. At least NSC isn't like that, hun x

Not having a go here symy, but for those of us who've been constantly searching google, that's old news.
Who wouldn't want a midfielder called Marvelous Nakamba? Absolute flair.
