Duran should be a £20m player. The reported £40m + is absurd, so many cheaper options for someone who will be competition rather than the proven no9 we need, I like what I've read on Duran its the fee only putting me off, I mean vhalovic would be a bit more and is proven player, solanke i heard sas £65m release clause that seems steep too.

Can I suggest you just imagine he only costs us €20m and then the fee won’t put you off.

He’s not my choice it would’ve been Sesko but I hope he proves me wrong the way Palmer did as no one expected that.

I can do, I’ll imagine we don’t have to watch the pennies or have to sell good players in the future too,
To be honest, if the fee is around £40m I’d guess at it being with add ons and clauses and bonuses. Like mudryk £62m fee always being reported as £100m.

I think this is another good idea. Let the club watch the pennies and the fans watch the matches.

Good in theory, but what happens off the pitch affects what happens on it, opinions and concerns, if we only talked about the matches it would be pretty dull in the off season,

Matt, of course we can have come about the clubs finances but as things stand the club as far as we know has broken none of the rules as set out by the governing bodies.
The valuation of any play is generally worked out between the buying and selling club.
These issues are out of our control and I have no idea how to evaluate so called “value for money. ” I make my judgement about a player based on ability not transfer fee.

The media aren’t generally clued up on transfer values until a deal has been made. Was reported we were set to pay €65m for Willian Estevao but turns out the fee was around €29m upfront with add ons. I’m not massively excited with the prospect of Dhuran but I don’t really know him. Would prefer Sesko/ Gykoreres etc but both are staying at their respective clubs. Osimhen or Martinez (Inter) are massively expensive, there’s little else about really that stand out. I’d perhaps be tempted to just stick with Jackson, Nkunku and Broja/ Fofana.
