As I've said before, I think there'll be a proper old scrum for his services (and other Bournemouth players) so he'll get some very good salary offers which I'm not sure we'll match. That will be a shame and it will be the same with Brooks IMO. Maybe Levy will think back on other wasted opportunities but I doubt it.

100% agree. A decent CF cover is essential. And considering where we are, we could do a lot worse than Wilson IMO.

Makes sense to get a cf in this summer cos if kane leaves next summer other clubs will sense our desperation and rinse us on the fee

I think that you're right, he is/was. People get hung up on stuff like that but they're thinking as fans - not professional players. Players will go where the money/opportunity is. The majority wouldn't think like we do.

Be interesting to see how many (other than Ake by the looks of things) will jump ship as they want to remain playing at the highest level.
On another tip, City following through on their promise to strike early on their targets. Goes back to what me and you were talking about in regard to transfer dealings early and late. Although - just for balance - the two teams making the early running are those owned by the usual suspects. If United and Liverpool make moves in the coming week we're being left behind again (as usual)

Yep unfortunately these teams have the financial power to skip all the back and forth bidding wise. I think one of the criticisms of united owners was they bother with the bidding wars when they don't need to. They spent all of last summer trying to get the price of Maguire down and ended up paying full whack anyway when they could have had him for whole of pre-season for same price.
Although I wouldn't find it fair to demand that we be able to compete with city in this regard of buying players early. I have to wonder the relative money saved waiting until the last minute vs the cost of missing champions league football by point or two over the years. As you say we're being left behind and if we could at least bridge the gap it could be the difference between a few extra points and the possibility of Champions League money.

Like City care - "How much do you want for him? Yes, here you go"

My concern is, how does this affect the rest of the market? You see a player like Ake go for 41 million then they inflate the market. Not only that but suddenly Bournemouth aren't as desperate to sell Wilson on the cheap knowing they've already made a large dent in the debt.

On the United thing - happening with Sancho isn't it? I don't know of another team linked that heavily with him, and they'll more than likely get him, but got a while to go yet it seems.
On Spurs, I can understand making sure you don't over pay, but with all the players we've been linked too so far - where's the problem? From my (uneducated) perspective at least there are deals to be done with players and we seem to be the best team in for them. It's pretty frustrating.
Just for balance, yes I know the window has only been open four days, time etc etc.

The only thing with Bournemouth and they're better talent is how many of them want to go back down to the Championship? Wages? Bonuses? It all depends if they're (the players in question) are happy to keep collecting the cash and bonuses or fancy a challenge and perhaps a little more in the Prem.
Bournemouth and Howe have yet to sit down as well ... Unlike Norwich who seem to be okay with Farke and have already backed him with a host of new signings - not quite the same with Bournemouth. Interesting for sure.

Markets and prices really don't come into for them. It's just whether the player in question fits the profile Pep wants. We can only dream of that shit haha!

Yeah Dortmund know united will eventually pay what they want
Yeah I think aslong as you get your key signings in for first day of pre-season then you've done great business. If players need time to adapt to league then you also want that done early so they can settle in the country. Then you can leave squad signings/loans if you don't expect them to start until europa starts until late.
In my opinion we should sign our first choice DM/RB asap and leave your wilsons until late in the day. I'm assuming pre-season is in 3 weeks time so we've got until then to get things rolling in my eyes. Is annoying when you see city do whatever the fuck they want. Knowing they'll hit the ground running.

Yeah but I doubt we're the only ones who want Wilson, now they can try and instigate a bidding war where they possibly weren't in a position to before.
