The are we allowed the "it's quiet" thread yet? thread.

The difference is Delph didn't sign a new contract doubling his price.

Laporte was going to cost £37m when we tried to sign him.

Now his buyout is £65m.

Absolutely no chance he comes here.

£50 he's playing here next season!!

I'm not betting you money I really fucking hope we aren't spending £65m in a centre back.

A buyout is there to drive up the price, he'll go for 50m, and he's worth every penny, however, this was never dead, just on hold!!

No. Athletic Bilbao buyout clauses are not there to drive up the price. They haven't sold any player they want to keep for less than their buyout clause in recent memory. Llorente, Herrera, Martinez - they don't sell below the buyout and the players know that when they sign the deals.

Hell go for €75m or he won't go.

Athletic Bilbao don't do discounts, they refuse to negotiate completely. Therefore no chance he comes here.

You're very matter of fact at times, thus take the £50 bet and earn yourself a few quid...

No chance of another CM or CB this window then? Being greedy I know.

If we'll pay £50mill for Stones, and the Napoli cb goes for £60 mill no reason to think we wouldnt pay £65 mill next summer if we want him enough.
