3 mill for snodgrass? its embarrassing. 5 mill for defoe 3 mill for snodgrass. these are the best players at their clubs. looks like usual cheap bids.

I think we have to be careful here. Firstly who are we to say what are player is worth anyway? Who of us have ever been involved with player recruitment for a premiership football team? Also just to add, before I get crucified for sticking up for the board, I think that the summer transfers were crap too, and they gave a lot of false hope. False hope to those especially turning up week in week out, hoping to see a good performance. However none of us said these players weren't good enough when we signed them. We only know they're not good enough because of hindsight. Llorente is being tipped for Chelsea, yet he could have failed as much as Zaza. Bathshuyi who we all wanted is now being offloaded, there's a bit of luck involved too. Secondly I think it's very easy to spend other peoples' money. Snodgrass has has a decent half of a season. all of a sudden he's the answer to our prayers, at any cost? I remember him being touted to come to us a few season ago when we were in the Chumps. Nobody was banging the drum then? Also Scott Hogan, never heard of him before Jan, is now a £15 million player? Totally untried at Prem level and with a dodgy knee. We have to be careful not to panic buy and end up with another Carroll. And Lastly, I remember a time when a player arrived at a club and we heard bout through the papers, with a photo of him holding up a shirt. Now because of social media, we know everything, in fact too much IMO. If it was my money, would I go in for Defoe at £15 million? No way I'd make a low offer to see what reaction I got. If they came back and said it's too low, it means they would sell. If they came back and said F off it means they would never sell. It's basic negotiating. You don't go into a car showroom and say I want that car, they tell you how much and say hurry up some else will buy, and you fall for it, so why do you with football transfers? If they go silent and say nothing, then we'd accuse them of lacking ambition, and penny pinching, porn kings, dodgy gezzers. If they let out who they're going for we accuse them of lacking ambition, and penny pinching, porn kings, dodgy gezzers. It's a lose lose situation.

These are the clowns running our transfer bids SuGo knock off specialist barrow boys. Fill their twatter feeds and pump out bullcrap stories about signing marquee players only to bolster ticket sales and marketing then put in derisory bids for players, when truly they will be sniffing around financially troubled foreign clubs and leagues for the next ilunga or crocked player (Ba) at a knock off price.
