Johnson and someone else i thinkHang on let me work it out off the top of my head Hart, Micha, Lescott, Milner, Barry... maybe I'm just forgetting players haha.
I take it that's a typo or your just confusing me further with that haha... 17 Right? ;)Any player under 21 doesn't count and you don't have to have a full squad, but if you do it's a minimum of 8 or to look at it another way a maximum of 27 over21 overseas players. At least that is my understanding.
Agreed. But how come we seem to be the only one overpaying? Clyne is English right? Why did he cost a mere 12.5 million, yet his equal cost 45 2 years later? Bertrand on the other hand cos being reported for around 21 million. I'll bet you we get him for about 18 million. And this forum would go wild :).And until we start to produce our own young players good enough for the first team we will potentially need to overpay. Not all of the first team squad can be foreign, as you well know
The price for good fullbacks didn't suddenly jump over 300% in 2 years.
What the previous record for a FB is, is irrelevant. The price is set by the buyer not the seller. If we think he is worth 50, we will pay it.
Dom just pointed out the record is going to be 40m shortly from mendy. We're hard pressed for home grown and we're poaching from a rival club. That's definitely worth more than mendy.
Seem to remember Shauny, Ireland and Bellamy but might be going too far back with some of those.Johnson and someone else i think
He is not wanted by us so we have no leverage as clubs know we just want rid,can't believe i would ever write that about joeThe main thing that is clobbering Hart's potential fee is probably his wages. I think we are paying him a lot.
Where our sales are of low wages players we don't struggle to sell,bwhere the players are on a lot (relative to their ability and others) we struggle to sell.
Betrand at LB?I know , what no one seems to be able to answer is we need a homegrown option in our incomings, not bought just to make up the numbers. If not Walker at right back. Who ?
Doh you're right I will edit.I take it that's a typo or your just confusing me further with that haha... 17 Right? ;)

Is Soares considered home grown? We simply need to do better.
Again, I know we might have to pay it. Just don't think its a good deal if we do.
Why don't we just cut our losses on Bravo and take a chance with Angus Gunn, we get more money for transfers and sort some of the HG quota out.
I heard he wanted to but has it actually been signed? I would have thought they would hold back on finalising it in case we need him.He's already been loaned out.
Yeah it's done.I heard he wanted to but has it actually been signed? I would have thought they would hold back on finalising it in case we need him.
Because if eddie gets injured or sent off we are reliant on a kid,he is not willyWhy don't we just cut our losses on Bravo and take a chance with Angus Gunn, we get more money for transfers and sort some of the HG quota out.
Even players who are not wanted by one club are often wanted by more than one other when they are decent players.He is not wanted by us so we have no leverage as clubs know we just want rid,can't believe i would ever write that about joe
