The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[SSB]

As it stands Nunes will want go, the worry is this drags on until early next week.

No rush for City. They can sign him next week once he’s served his ban. He’ll be spending this weekend house hunting I guess.

What we need is a bidding war.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Pep should ask Klopp to bid so it forces City's hand[/Aluko]

 

[Carrotdude]

Part of bidding under what a team wants is to see if the player starts to kick off and down tools as well. If that happens the club is somewhat forced to accept lower than they want

Surely they could have asked him to do that when they tapped him up for personal terms? [/EP]

We have just seen this happen though and Brighton just ended up getting 105m instead of the 70m Arsenal bid last Jan.

Caicedo didn’t really kick off, he agreed to stay and help Brighton until the right offer came in.

Caicedo didn’t really kick off,

He didn't kick off but he did ask Brighton to sell him and then changed his mind towards the end of the window

 

[MARKakaJIM]

I can guarantee you he’ll be sold and it won’t be for the £65m we apparently want.

We always end up rolling over.

Palace might have ended up letting Zaha go for nothing, but at least they didn’t let the big boys push them around.

They let the player push them around instead.

 

[White Wolf]

Brighton gave Caicedo a new contract and you would think assurances that he could go in the summer once they had achieved their goals for the season which was getting into Europe. He continued to perform well and that led to an increased valuation. Win-win when it comes to that pair.

Asking Nunes to stick with Wolves for six months or a year to help us fight relegation is a different prospect entirely. You can see why City might be hoping he does down tools. It's not like Nunes has been setting the world alight as is, although it does leave us rather short when we consider the quality of replacement (assuming there is one).

 

[Tony Towner]

As I said last night, City already know what the real price is. This part is just performative

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yeah, I get that.

On its individual merit a bid of £65m (!) for Matheus is an absolute no brainer.

Even though the liklihood of Hodge appearing in the first team increases significantly?

Does it?

Hodge is a very bad central midfielder but Matheus hasn't played as a CM for us in ages. No indication he was even in that discussion, we have 4 CMs and Hodge is #4 behind Lemina, Gomes and Traoré.

I was only joking.

 

[loppers86]

i couldn’t care less what happens with Nunes or anybody else.

Thanks for sharing.

Anything you else you don't care about and don't really want to tell us to avoid getting the attention you def do not crave?

 

[Quirkafleeg]

There once was a man from Venus.

 

[Freddeno]

Looks like we never can get a really big value like other teams for our players, what is that all about?

Bold text.
