Xela Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 WHU could be interesting to watch with Benrahma on the left and Bowen on the right. In a different set of circumstances, that could have been Villa's line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously had no intention of ever joining us and was just waiting for a German team to come in for him Apparently he was given a week off after deadline day because of how mentally draining all the transfer drama was.

abdulaziz1 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Still my first choice is David Brooks, is he near to any team? I can’t say I’m following the transfers well especially now. Then its Benrahma and Sarr, finally Buendia. I will be happy to get Brooks in a loan to buy. Would be a huge signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those would start ahead of front 6 from last game and that's with Traore on bench and we're not throwing down big money on cover. This has been all but said by Smith Purslow etc Watford want 45m for Sarr which has put off Manure and Liverpool if you believe rumours and he's on 4 year contract so Watford won't be bullied on price Edited October 10, 2020 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those will start infront of him, in Brooks case he’ll be helpful as a RW starter and Barkley’s backup too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be on anything near 100,000 a week either. 17 million plus addons and I’ve no idea what kind of wage he can command, personally I wouldn’t pay more than 60 and I’d try 40. If you give someone straight out the championship that wage your a complete mug, if he does well you have no way of rewarding him for it and if he doesn’t do well no one will buy him on that wage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be tempted to gazump them myself and to offer £18m. I have to say that I suspect that he has always wanted to stay in London though. Salary wise he would want near to what Ollie is on, football wise if he still doesn't want to join us, having seen/heard how Ollie has fitted in and looked at the league table recently then so be it! I also wonder whether the club ever actually wanted him, as much as some of us did and whether other than perhaps one or two smaller buys as cover, we are done for this window, and will have to limp on with the team that beat Liverpool 7-2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to draw any other conclusion when you try and piece together the information. We've reportedly bid the fee needed but he had his heart set on Leipzig in the beginning of the window and nearly signed for Leverkusen at the end of the window. Doesn't sound like a man who was desperate to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is asking for £120k/w apparently, but maybe that's dropped since there's been no takers. Leeds dropped out due to him living a bit large on social media and they were unsure if he has the right mentality according to another rumor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is undoubtedly a very talented player, but there must be a reason as to why his agent has not been able to engineer a move away from the Championship for him, especially if the asking price is "only" around £18m-£25m. Far worse players have moved for far more. Although maybe not as many in the Covid-19 economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too quiet though, don't think it'll be anyone except maybe some older cover on loan or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
