Especially if we pivoted to some 18yr old foreigner who costs us half as much, turns out twice as good and Gordon ends up going to Burnley to help them stay up next season.

Ginolaandtonic 169 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 For the first time since the new owners took over I’m not as confident of the supposed direction of travel as I’d like to be. In no sane universe should we be even thinking of letting Maxi go. He is a potential game changer and he is easily good enough for where we are right now. Letting Wood go without a replacement is also very strange. Especially with Wilson firing blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissypants, that doesn't mean anybody else has to take the helm. I'm 99% sure the the ASM rumours are horseshit, Wood going for £20m if he achieves his very achievable targets, is very good business. We're just starting off, lets not get frantic just because we're not signing Brunos every window, eh? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting Wood go without a replacement is also very strange. Especially with Wilson firing blanks. Letting Wood go isn’t strange at all. He’s looked abysmal recently and a move suits all parties. Even on top form he would be a stop gap. If an offer comes in you have to consider it as you might not get a similar one down the road. Re: the rest I’ll make a judgement at the end of the window. Obviously in a perfect world we replace Wood with better but there’s no point in buying another stop gap. We’re nowhere near as desperate as we were 12 months ago and the last thing you want is another player who isn’t good enough to hamper us in the summer re: FFP. The other difference to 12 months ago is wages currently being close to 100% of turnover which is another big consideration. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's literally talking about the guy brought Caicedo, Mac Allister etc to Brighton for relative peanuts. My guess is that if we're not reinforcing in the defensive mid role this window then we've got our ideal candidate lined up for the summer and can't get him now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that things are moving with Dyche in place. Edited January 27, 2023 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8870 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I hope it 25m with an additional relegation clause. 20m more in case they get relegated. I would be happy with paying 45m then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like part of the fee will be performance dependent so it would be interesting to know what those performance goals are. In fairness though the risk attached to both transfers are comparable in my view. Bruno was obviously thought of as a talent and a prospect, but so was Paqueta at West Ham, and we've been fortunate that Bruno has settled so quickly coming from the French league. Well I say fortunate but I'm sure Howe has had a big hand in it. Gordon on the other hand has performed sporadically in the PL already but the question is whether he'll achieve his potential.
