Re: sam and rsc
I think your arguement is a little weak... transfer budgets don't apply but we won't be taken for mugs because it's bad business. If we start paying dramatically over the odds for players we are only strengthening our rivals who could sign a straight replacement and one or two hot prospects for the same money.
Kaka was probably worth £100m because he is not just an incredible footballer but a worldwide icon. On that note I saw a rumour today on BBC's gossip page that Real are reported to have an agreement in place for Ronaldo worth £91m (bet if it's true nobody will accuse THEM of ruining football, fantasy football bids etc etc).
RSC is not worth £20m... as far as I am aware we have not bid that much. £18.5m seems to have been our last and highest bid. It is far in excess of what any other club would offer but it seems to be the end of the line. We could probably land RSC if we wanted with a Kaka sized bid but we wont. That doesn't mean we can't land our targets - it just means we will decide the value not the other clubs and if they dick us about we will walk away.
Soulboy said:Fat Sam has been honest throughout this. He said RSC is not for sale... unless we offer stupid money. Well, £19m is stupid money. And he's still rejected it out of hand.
So Hughes must walk away before Fat Sam takes the piss out of him even more.
Oh, and so much for us being able to buy any player in the world now that we are in the richest club in the worldd.
Seems transfer budgets apply to us as much as any other club Reality bites.
So much for another couple of million quid meaning nothing to us.
Has Given signed yet? Or can't we even agree a deal for him either?
Is Cook doing really his best for Hughes at this moment in time...
