Will we get or when do we get 20m though? Next year, the year after? When Ipswich stay up? Then there's the sell on.

Looks like pressure has built, club have shit theirselves incase they get into another Stewart situation and given the lack of funds provided for recruitment they've given in.

And here we go with a bunch of randoms from abroad - what's not to like?

They’re two different points in a way.
1) Have we been low balled, not imo
2) If you’re convinced we aren’t going to spend and recruit then what diffence does £5m make. Not going to spend it regardless

I’d have held out for £25m including the desperation tax. But I think £20m is fair tbh. Certainly not “low”.
Imo he’s too one footed and not the quickest to be a £30m plus player but we will soon see. Good opportunity for him and a good fee for us.

I wouldn’t be certain we’ll get the full £20m. I don’t know why people think we will. I’d imagine a big chunk of the addons will be for Ipswich staying up which is a big ask.

Don't think it's an awful move tbh. I think they have bought well and smartly tbh. They'll be favourites to go down but have a chance to scrap their way out of it.

More importantly thought, they've bought a team that should they go down have a great chance of going back up.

It also gives him the chance to play for a team in the Premier League we're he will get games and give himself a chance to put himself in the window for another move to a bigger team.

If that doesn't happen he'll be at a top Championship team who'll be one of the favourites to go up.

They are in a better position than us at the moment and that's just the way it goes.

If we'd backed ourselves the season before last we could have been in the same or better positions we didn't and we are were we are. A result of that is that teams doing better than us will have the ability to take our players.

I was talking about if the fee was 25 which everyone keeps throwing round. We’d come around 18.75 million

If all add ons are met we’ll get 15. Aswell as have a nice hefty sell on if they sell him in future probably putting us around the 20 million mark. But let’s say all add ons are met but he’s not sold we’ve lost out on 3 million

You were throwing around 25 million :lol:

£3m which according to the experts we are 100% never in a million years till pigs fly going to spend anyway, so you’d think the lads would be happy KLD has cost himself £3m 🤷‍♂️

Why are you so bothered then if you think he’s gunna be shite? Surely if he’s not good enough for the premier league then he should be absolutely taking this opportunity for PL money and experience as it might not happen again?

I wouldn’t like to take advice from you.

Because not everything is about money, it’s about being the best you can be at the level you know you’re at at that point in time.

Maybe in your life money is everything even if you know you’re not quite worth what you get but I bet there’s more satisfaction in performing at the top of the field you’re in regardless of the remuneration.

If you believe we can replace Jack Clarkes output with the money quoted, or even if the club puts all that money back into the team then I’d be very surprised.

You have to spread it on the right players. It’s not about like for like.
