One of the things that irritates me with some of our fans,they seem to think we HAVE to have "world class players" in every position.I would rather comment on the players we normally target. Most of the players are those who are the next big things in football and hence the prices quoted are high.
We hardly target unpolished gems with zero competition where the deal would be very straight forward. Like the LB liverpool signed. Never heard the name before. But 11m would be a great price if he turns out half as good as Robertson.

As you say,and I`m not his greatest admirer as an individual, but as a player what a fucking bargain Robertson was for the Scousers.
I could never understand why we didn`t go for him when he was at Hull.When we played them in the Cup the lad was outstanding at the Etihad and for £8M was well worth a punt.
I do not want a fading player on a record fee and record wages but Zinchenko would be a beast in Italy

I’m talking Euros, not pounds, and he’d only be a record fee if you valued Zinchenko much higher. As for his wages, I’m sure that would be negotiated and pegged to performance/success. We’re currently fielding a 35 year-old in that position, so his age doesn’t concern me.
Zinchenko might be a beast in Lilliput but not in Napoli...

It is going to be our record fee, and his wages will be the same as KDB`s as he has not said he wants to leave, the 35 year old has earned his fee and wages whilst here, i dislike paying records out for the good times other fans have enjoyed
So, in the current climate you think we’ll drop over €70m cash on a player? Napoli’s deal for Osimhen was reportedly their biggest ever outlay- what fans love to hear- but it was revealed last week that there was very little cash involved, multiple players were sent to Lille, and more money would arrive in time, likely the time he reaches his state pension age. We’re not going to be paying a huge cash fee.
Nobody with an ounce of sense/survival would publicly say he wanted to leave Napoli/Naples. ;-)
