We still need to be ambitious as we can be. Granted. Need to get promoted pronto. Some players stay at club others move on with a thanks for efforts in getting us up.

To all those who say he is not good enough , show me the money. A high quality midfielder will cost a lot of money and want £6 million a year. We do not want a juvenile " prospect " either. We need a reliable, experienced and hopefully injury resistant player , this is going to be a tough season with most of our creativity gone and an inexperienced manager.

I think Coadys probably gonna arrive for around £5 million, £10 million is a bit much for me, I think £5 million would of got the deal done, doesn’t seem any Maddison discount in that fee for me.

I am also worried about his injury record. The guy once got injured for a period of time for falling into the opponents dugout/bench. However, despite agreeing with your assessment of Winks, being average Premier League at best, is this a bad thing for our position at the moment? Over a period of three years, would we be likely to move above a level that required better (clearly we have done a mad upward trajectory before).

Gerard Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 £10m for a player who is unwanted at his club, last year of contract and no other suitors? We have learnt absolutely nothing have we. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a short term player that helps get us up and probably needs replacing in a few years but at £10m and probably 40-50k a week, no thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we received 50m for Maddison and got Winks on a free, it sounds better to our fans. But then we'd have to pay 15% on the 26M profit to Norwich. We've done the accounting such that Norwich get a sum, but we aren't taken to the cleaners. Also to amortise costs across several years, etc. Edited 28 June 2023 by StriderHiryu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have learnt absolutely nothing have we. Exactly, we've had an absolute howler of moving such players on and yet we've queued over night to pay over the odds for such a player. I wish I could walk away from this club, I really do. I'm in agony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board haven't learnt anything and seemingly Glover is not the saviour many think he is, never been successful anywhere yet and he's been around for decades. The fact we've been burnt by so many players in this age bracket and the fact he's never been an established first choice player, it's just not an exciting deal. If we go up, unless he's going to be a 1st name on the teamsheet, we're once again stuck with a player that nobody will want who's taking up a squad space. Would have preferred a loan deal if we're signing him with the aim of promotion. Just to clarify to the clever people that say "if he was a foreign name, the same people would be loving it". I'd feel exactly the same if we were signing a random 27 year old from Lyon who'd never established themselves as a first choice player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scinnell Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 No problem with this and a shrewd move. Feels like Leicester of old recruitment. Winks, Coady and Piroe for 25 million is a very good balance of leadership, experience and Championship quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think the wages are good value for the situation, if nearer to 40k. But yes 10million seems excessive when unlikely to have resale value on him.

By my calculations we're £18.5m down doing it this way rather than the other in the 2 examples you gave edited as I forgot to take of 15% of 16m.

Instead we’ve got 40m for Maddison and paid 10m for Winks. If this was the case shouldn’t we have got Winks for cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
