Who’s gone in the summer?

The fee is an issue, with white going for £50 and Abrahams for £38, if we are under selling our assets, especially when contract and age wise there is no reason, then all we do is feed the "poorly run plaything" "oil club messing up the market" "ametuers" etc narrative that is slowly being layed out by some in the sports amd wider press.

This casusal attitude to all the negative shite thrown at us doesn't need help from us not getting what a player is worth.

If the two I mentioned are worth £50M and and £38M then Laporte shouldn't go for any less than £75M or we leave ourselves open to more idiocy and scorn from those clowns in the media that sadly many lap up as journalist

Laporte would be on big wages compared to the two mentioned. It’s a big factor and needs to be taken into consideration. The club has not done too badly considering they are a bunch of amateurs ;)

We are extremely amateur when it comes to outgoings.
 
Not particularly arsed, to be honest. He's a great player but he's never put together a full season as good as either Stones or Dias last season.

I keep hearing every now and then people saying that Laporte and Dias should still be our first choice. Why?

Anyway, he's great as a third option or someone waiting to take their chance when one of the main two gets injured or hits some poor form but it seems either his ego can't handle it or he simply wants to go full Spanish and I don't really blame him for that.

If someone comes in at our price then I'm alright with it. If we have to enter the market again next summer for someone like Kounde or (god forbid) integrating an academy player like Callum Doyle then so be it. It's not like we'd be losing one of the main personalities in the changing room either.

We know the the club is run excellently, and laportes wages will be a factor, but can anyone seriously say he is worth only £10M more than white, regardless if we can afford to take such a low price and as it removes a biggish wage (do we know what he earns tbh). Just wondering why should our top tallent be sold for less than they're worth.

It was more from the perception from outside, I was answerig about selling low, we have cunts calling us cheapskates this morning, them same ones will be trying to take the piss if we sell a player of I am erics ability for a seemingly lower than his worth price.

anyone at madrid we could do a deal and get in return worth having? Khaldoon mentioned about having to be creative in the market this year as cash for clubs is a problem?
 
He is a guaranteed starter for Spain for years to come, Ake couldnt become a starter in the Euros for Netherlands who played with a back three despite Van Dijk being out too.

We have to stop with this madness to let players go cheaply, we are really a charity in that sense.

Kane and Grealish both are supposedly wanted to leave, they do not want to stay at Villa/Spurs yet their clubs not saying, ok we sell you way under your market value and not above it because you are unhappy. For Grealish we paid more than we should have probably by 20-25m certainly because Villa said fuck off if we tried to offer 80-90m.
and if he didnt have a buyout fee they may have asked even more despite Grealish really keen to leave them.

if Laporte wants to leave fair enough, bring an offer for 70-80m. when we set out 60m in press it means thats where negotiating start and it only goes lower than that thats how it works and in the end it will be closer to 40m received than 60m.

Still given current market I can see some shady loans offer for both Bernardo and Laporte (which their agent might push us to accept) instead of proper deals as I struggle to see any offers popping up in last 10 days for them when potential buyers had 3 months to send offers.
