Cunha was £62m pounds and it was a release clause, why the fck would we start at £70m when he’s going into the last year of his contract?
He’s already stated he wants the move to us, there is some bargaining to be done.

No, because that's a subscription service.

This is what happens when you go for PL proven players, you pay a premium. It’s why it’s all well and good going for those players, we should also have the scouts and recruitment team to also be able to identify players from abroad who can fit because it will save us money at a time where finances are tight.
Maybe long term we need to look at players we can buy abroad who we can loan out to PL sides to get to the level we require rather than let the likes of Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth and Wolves buy them and us buying them at a premium rate a few years later. Easier said than done I guess.
posted 1 week, 4 days ago
Honestly, paying 5, maybe even 10 million above the asking price sometimes happens, simply because we are buying another EPL player and we are Utd etc. I can almost live with that as long as it is someone we badly need / want.
It's when we pay way over the odds for relatively unproven players (we all know the names from previous recent transfers) that is the real issue and hopefully has come to an end.
Obviously there is a limit, but 40-60 million (I know that's a large range) is what I would expect it to be if that happens with Mbuemo.
I think for our club there has to be a 'mixed approach' - sometimes we will have to splash out the cash for a fairly proven player who should hopefully have a really big instant effect on the club. But we should also be scouting around for those up and coming players who could turn out to be potentially top class also - you will also get the odd dud in there, but should be able to get some success also.

I'm telling you now. If we start well, get some momentum, bang in some goals, then you never know what could happen. A lot of the other teams aiming for European places will have European games midweek. We really do need to take advantage of the fact we have fewer games. We can give everything in the league.
