We've yet to sign anyone.... Just bids. Not serious bids of yet. These are actual human footballers that the club have signed. 3 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now our first choice as rejected us, Betis won't sell us our 2nd choice. how far do we go down the list? Have we actually bid 45m for him though? I’ve only seen one report of this so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Can't believe we don't sound a player out to see if he's interested in coming before we put a bid in. And, I certainly don't believe we have done it twice now, on Merino and Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1) I thought we'd bid £45m for Neco Williams and nearly shit myself. 2) Its weird in 2023 where tapping up is basically standard to bid record fee's for 2 players who have no interest. 2b) Thats either panicking or a bid we knew wouldn't go ahead to make another club think we are working on other options 3) Its great that we're back to younger, highly talented players again. I know we didn't really leave it (Kamara) but I had a slight concern in back of my mind with 3-5 29 Yr Olds over last 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I certainly don't believe we have done it twice now, on Merino and Williams. We probably just sounded out them plus quite a few other quality players like most professional clubs do, and some say yes like Moreno and Duran, and many say no (because we are trying to get real quality). Sounding out players is just normal football business, the media are just trying to spin it as a real story which it’s not. We and other clubs do it all the time. If all parties eventually agree, a deal is done….there is no real story here. The only thing we can take from this, if true, is we are sounding out quality players and not bang average. I can take good from this… Edited January 24, 2023 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted January 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2023 What separates a panic bid from a regular bid? Do we drive over to the parent club in a redlined sports car, knocking over shopping carts full of cans, and smashing a window being carried slowly across a road by workmen, screech to a halt in the club car park, and run sweatily into the reception before throwing a clammy handful of transfer documents into the face of a bewildered receptionist and shouting 'GOOOOOOOO!!!' at the top of our lungs? Just wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
