General transfer rumours

Ollie watkins for 33m? what are we doing wrong with our outgoing transfers?
24 year old, second top goal scorer in the Championship bought by a team that barely survived last season because they couldn't score the top of a table with a fork?

Hardly earth shattering figures. Sure we got £25m for Iheanacho years ago and he'd done sweet fuck all.
 
Brewster to Sheff Utd for 25m, the dippers really do an incredible job at convincing teams that you can't get any better players out there.

Probably the cash they need to go for Thiago which is annoying.
 
We flog our loans out abroad where no one has cash so then they drive hard deals.
If we loaned to english clubs who have cash to burn, you only need one to perform and instantly you have a big transfer fee.

Iheanacho to leicester for £25-30m should have proven that the best market to sell to is england. He was semi proven in england so we got good money, and yet still now the vast majority of our players go on loan to spain or holland

I don't think its always intentional. For some of the youngsters we see having a future we probably prefer Spain or Holland then be kicked all over the park in the Championship or League 1.

But it does seem that outside of Iheancho we just can't get prem clubs to take interest in our players. The dippers have sold Ibe, Solanke and likely Brewster for miles over what they are worth and it doesn't make sense.

I think there are execs out there that have egos that want to be seen to do business with them, irrespective of whether there is value to be had. Personal agendas play a part.

Brewster should be a loan option (and a good one to be fair to him). Anyone risking money on him is wasting cash. He wont play regularly for liverpool so if they want him to stay long term - loan. If they dont want him to stay long term - he has no real value. At least thats how it works for us.

100% right on the other 2. Solanke for £20m really gets me every time. 1 goal for liverpool and hes worth £20m?! Hes got a bloody england cap as well (just after signing for liverpool - shock!) so that did nicely to bump his value.
