He's English and Overrated. Player of the same ability in La Liga would cost you £5-15Million. Same with Ward Prowse, Maddison, Bowen and co Edited April 21, 2023 by SecretVillaScout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think he’d be better at a newly promoted side or something to prove his worth there a bit, no one else will risk it surely as he’s hardly played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just now, duke313 said: My point is you would pay a club record fee for ESR, but not for Olise/Eze? Correct, isn’t that an obvious thing that ESR would cost a lot more than either Olise or Eze as a value of each individual player? Excluding premiums or desperation, the market value of ESR is more than the other two individually based on the player. Didn’t think that was a controversial point.

RicRic Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think if we finish in top 8 we may set our sights elsewhere and not bring in Guendouzi as the profile in player will upgrade slightly, ship out bailey and bring in a top forward should be our priority alongside right back which we will need to spend big on both, a central midfielder (box to box) we will need someone who is driven and experienced relatively youngish in that 24-27 bracket and to conclude the window a backup GK. I’m no longer throwing in recommendations except for Nico Williams (Ath Bilbao) as Emery will have exactly who he wants in mind and further more hes not listening to little old me on villatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Harvey Barnes plays on the wrong side for our system. We've got plenty of cover on the left. If we get Europe I'd rather give A.Ramsey minutes. If not we have JJ, McGinn and Buendia that can play LAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 47 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: Digne won't be sold. I think Emery wants 2 players in each position and he offers a different set of abilities than Moreno. while i agree we may not offload him due to his super high wages, i honestly think we would offload him in the summer if we could. Moreno is clearly our first choice LB, while i agree we need a backup LB as good competition, why on earth would we want our backup LB to be one of the highest paid players at the club? Ideally, we get rid of Digne, get his huge wages off the books so we can use that money on actual first team players, and buy a cheaper left back, on lower wages to compete with Moreno, or promote a youth LB, if one is ready. With Moreno here, keeping Digne makes zero sense, considering his wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it doesn't seem like a controversial point if you think Smith-Rowe is that much better than the other two, I don't think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now we get to the bottom of it. Fair enough! We were arguing around the edges and not the point. All good! Just to finish off the point, would you pay a record club fee for any of ESR, Eze or Olise? Not asking to pick the best but do you think any are worth a club record fee? Or more than one, or even all three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olise, yes. Eze, don't know about record fee, but I wouldn't say no. Olise had his 35 million buy out clause removed so they would be looking for substantial sums for him. That's alot of money, he is very good bit still, 50 million good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
