£50m? Guy pulling numbers from his rectum.
This fee seems higher than suggested previously? Also in £ not €!
Is he that good?
€25m rose to £50m mighty quickly
It’s a joke.
Thing is, look at the transfer fees for any club not in the Premier League that isn't one of the major players in Europe. They're miniscule.
This will be £25m fee plus 5 year contract at £5m per year which is £50m overall package
Real sociedad bidding as one of their top targets for donny per Fabrizio Romano. 16 mins ago. (I don’t know how to insert media)
Stones is worth £60m. Maguire £30-£35m realistically
(a) Not reliable per reddit tier guides
(b) Doing the thing with Eur -> GBP -> Eur again.
Guardian article changed to £30m for Amrabat.
Reasonable if we get £15m or so for Fred.

Reckon we can get between £15-£20m
Tier 1:
I'm posting this to show that West Ham are the only club to have submitted an offer for Sofyan Amrabat.

Which is why, unless the regulars, Stones/Ornstein, post it I am usually skeptical of our interests in players. Even more so if it is coming from just journalist in a source country.
Because a replacement will cost even more?
We may as well keep him at that price.
He's on a 6 year contract, with 26.6 m left of book-value so it will be a loss (which it seems like you've said).
With 19.3m of wages saved over two years if they are willing to give him the same contract.
So at best we will have 12.7 m (19.3m - 6.6 m loss) to fund a new CB, assuming we don't have any extra money lying around of course.
If they were offering 40 m then we would have roughly 33 m to play around with, factoring in saved wages plus the 13.3m in money gained for a new CB, which still might not be enough to fund for a new purchase.
Actually, I’m looking from the players perspective specifically but also from both clubs. I do agree totally that Atlanta does not need to make any decision in a hurry as they’re aware Hojlund is targeted by some clubs and can keep him for another year, however, every transfer shall also be in a certain realistic way handled. If they put an insane price tag of 80-100 Mio., there will be almost no clubs to pay this, apart from the players decision to move to a club where he doesn’t want to be.
We did once the mistake with Martial paying over the odds and gave him an ultimate contract and now we’re having difficulties to get rid off him, just like with Harry and other companions. So at least in this aspect, I think we have learned and will give Hojlund a lower contract and with time we’ll see how he develops so we can renew.
I’d even expand the striker market apart from the ones mentioned with Ramos, Martinez and Toney, so there’s some decent players on the market. Haaland and Hojlund have some similarities at least from their professional career, both played in Austria, then went to Germany and Italy respectively and, the latter is at the point to make his next big move just like Haaland did. I really hope this deal is wrapped and we can move on.
This, especially when you consider his wages just went up 25% as well.
Dont work like that. If we get rid of Maguire to book value we get rid of a player with a year cost of £13 mill (80/6) and wages of £200k. It would likely put us in a position to bring in a new player with a similar cost. That would imply bringing in a new £80 mill player at a similar contract. If we bring in a cheaper option as a backup that is money saved.
So you're saying that even at book value we will have 19 m left (his saved wages) on his saved wages to fund a player. And if you amortise that over a longer contract, then it seems like it's enough to fund a decent (but cheaper) replacement?

Would rather let Maguire run down his contract as 5th choice than sell for anything less than £40m.
So get nothing for him and continue to pay millions more in wages. Exactly what we've been doing for years with players we don't want instead of selling them.
Yes. Youth goalkeepers who have never played PL matches are going for £20m.
fecking hell, hows that for great luck. Gutted for him, and it's just typical.
That makes a lot more sense than him coming in and being the number 2. It's illogical to put a young kid who needs to play in that role.
FFS. That's kind of ruined my morning. Wish him a quick recovery. He'll still be involved by the time he comes back i'm sure because there's not much to compete with in the current midfield.
Such a shame for him, he looks a great prospect. Great to see ten Hag trust him against a side like Madrid though, shows how highly thought of he is.
Only 6m per year but that’s on top of our existing spending from recent seasons and what we’ve already bought this season. £150 mil net was touted and we’ve Mount, Onana and probably Hojlund before we move for a midfielder.
Also the lack of an offer isn’t anything new. We’ve agreed personal terms on Mount and Onana before submitting an official bid and we still have to move on at least one midfielder as well.
They should respond to the offer with a poop emoji and nothing else.
First part of the season really doesn't say anything - that can be until the end of August or the end of October
Four?!
Yeah definitely won't be that many
Very bad luck. Could set him back a year.
Selling Maguire for about 35 million could make sense, not twenty. If he goes, we need a replacement and they are not cheap.
