UHDrive Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 2 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: Hubris is a mugs game, we have made them work, we have not made it easy, we have continually rebuffed their low balling, and we have had them raise it about 20m We have already done as you described many times, with Chilwell,Mahrez, there is always compromise, the only other was Maguire and that being an outlier and that was not even remotely realistic- it was just an unrepeatable deal I'm starting to come around to this. There is digging your feet in or cutting your nose off to spite your face. We potentially have a relegation squad (and mentality) right now. Mutterings around Maddison wanting to move on are not exactly helping the cause and/or trying to reinvigorate the squad with desparate funds needed..

kingkisnorbo Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 I’d just get rid now. Can’t have plums like this lumbering the team/club anymore than it already is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 (edited) Why would we drop the asking price? Still almost a week to go and back in with a 4th bid, they're not going anywhere. We'll get the deal we want. Edited 25 August 2022 by Bryn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not planning to get anyone else in, that would be fine, but now Kasper, Hamza and then potentially Fofana goes, surely there is enough squad space for one little overpriced, injury prone 27 year old to arrive?

Looking back to the Praet deal I think it'll be a lot less than a week before we receive any funds after the contract negotiations have concluded with fofana.

FosseSpark Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 I'd say **** Chelsea and deal with utd. Take Maguire back and £40m for Fofana. Get him playing alongside Evans and bobs your uncle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 Ironically this thread reminds me of previous threads. Maguire - "they can frock off for anything less than £100 million" Chilwell - "ill have him tattooed on my ar*e if we go down below £70 million" I sense a certain irony incoming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 (edited) Unless it’s £80 million guaranteed they are wasting their ****ing time. It’s been made abundantly clear that we won’t sell for less than that since this whole debacle started.
