Shame he would have made a difference. His know who were on to now
What happens if neither want to comeShould just pay up for Neves or Bissouma.
Both are better than Kessie and PL proven too.
They would actually require us spending decent money on them though…
Didn’t Herc say this deal was up to us and that if we wanted it it would happen previously?makes sense why we are going for wijnaldum now
YesDidn’t one of the ITK’s say this was all agreed a while back and it was down to us if we wanted it
But as has been stated many times, things constantly change, and we don't know exactly what was meant in any case. It may have been a pre-agreement for a contract in the summer. If so, and we then started pushing for a January transfer instead, it'd make sense for them to wait for the bigger fee later on. And obviously any player would want to see out a championship battle.
I agree everything can change, was just answering the questionBut as has been stated many times, things constantly change, and we don't know exactly what was meant in any case.

Edit: obviously all speculation, I have no idea what's going on.
He did. It’s entirely plausible that we know what it will take to make it happen now, and that’s the decision we are waiting to make.Didn’t Herc say this deal was up to us and that if we wanted it it would happen previously?
Yeah, maybe I should've replied to the other post, just wanted to continue the discussion, not put anything on youI agree everything can change, was just answering the question
We have spoken to the player/his agents, to imagine we haven't is irrational. Now if he/his agent said no not interested and we then negotiated a deal with the club that would be a bit silly but it's much more likely is it not, that he/his agent didn't say no at all but made enthusiastic noises to see how it panned out. It's also possible they did that and are now saying no but I wouldn't put money on that either.
For the record I'm ambiguous about the guy, I'm in the not bothered but willing to accept I might be proved wrong.
Agree, doesn’t smell right, we allegedly offered the 8m he was after tooWe have spoken to the player/his agents, to imagine we haven't is irrational.

I think that’s how it may pan outI don't get why we wouldn't just offer him now what we'd offer him in the Summer... if this report is true at all.
If he had 3 years on his deal he'd cost 50mil. Even at 15mil, plus a 10 mil sign on fee its a great deal.
