Transfer Rumour Jadon Philogene

[pfim]

Lowballing a club in the hope that the player will force them to accept is of course absolutely fine when we’re the ones doing it and not the ones on the receiving end.

I don't think 11% difference is lowballing. 50%? Yes.

 

[JimmyK]

You haven’t done that though, you’ve just made yourself look thick, again.

No sense of irony at all.

People saying it’s only £2m, but our offer was reportedly £16m - they’re asking for more than 10% extra. Good on us for finally standing our ground for once, assuming that’s what’s happened.

That 2 million might be ear marked for another target.
Right back or something?

Blue gravel?

No, it appears you don’t understand the meaning of that word either. Keep plugging away though Jim, one day you’ll have a worthwhile point about something I’m sure.

Lad it’s not the same, give it up. Hull gave a price of 16mil. We agreed. Then it was upped by a third party. With Branthwaite, the minimum bid wasn’t even close to being met.

Just give it a rest

Who has said that is the case? Bobble is reporting we were advancing in talks with Hull not that they'd given us a price and we matched it but then the goalposts moved. People want us to lowball Hull and hope that the player forces a move to us and screws Hull over. Its not EXACTLY the same situation as Branthwaite but its the same principle.

I must have all these posters on ignore that are suggesting Hull should be obliged to accept our bid.

 

[Victus]

Definitely another few twists in this deal.

 

[Milkman]

Hull still owe us for Prince Oumar

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Would feel a bit crap losing out on a good player who actively wanted to join us like.. but agree that the club shouldn't be held to ransom over financial demands either.

[Neiler]

We must know the lad wants the move, might be looking for him to get up to Shenanigans at Hull.

You don't even understand the concept of Forest complying with an investigation but not being happy at the outcome of it Dave so I'd be a bit less cocky if I was you.

 

[The Bobble]

Said this on here the other day. We have our valuation and are sticking to it regardless. Everton have discussed the terms of the deal with Hull and met players agent, I can’t comment on a bid accepted or not, as per others reported this morning, as I am not 100% sure on that, but we have our stance on it

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Yeah I wasn’t making an entirely serious point. Clearly United are well short of a reasonable offer, we are at least in the ballpark.
