This isn’t true though is it.If he wants out of course then his value drops regardless. Two seasons of a goal every other game and your money back (including wages) isn’t to be sniffed at.
I agree but he is relatively better than Wilson which is the crux of my point.Lampard made it clear from his team selection in the play off games that Simms is not his man.
Unless something has changed his opinion since then its fair to assume that he's actively looking for a quality striker.
BTA and Bassette (currently) are not good enough to hold down a regular place in a top end Championship team.
Would defo take Matondo if the fees right.
I know that Guiu has turned Ipswich down, saying he doesn't want Championship football and prefers a loan to a Spanish club but I'd like to think Lampard is using his Chelsea connections to try to change his mind once they return from USA.
He looks exactly the type of quality young striker who'd make a massive impact on a loan with option to buy subject to promotion deal.

Tbf, there are probably other priorities to spend big on, as cover, for probably under £1 million, I don't hate it. A player in his mid 20s who once cost over £10 million, you'd have to feel there's something to work with.What makes you want him? I’ve looked over his history and don’t see anything that stands out at all. Plus he’s a midget

30% is good? We're on something like a 2,000% profit on Gyokeres and 1,400% on Hamer with more to come from both.I tend to agree but £10 million is the best part of a 30% profit. I hope we can get as much as possible though of course
Can see that being a no go immediately whatever happens next. A loan maybe, but to have it in writing that we would have an option to buy for a player that has stated he doesn't want a Championship move? He's already turned down a better side than us.I know that Guiu has turned Ipswich down, saying he doesn't want Championship football and prefers a loan to a Spanish club but I'd like to think Lampard is using his Chelsea connections to try to change his mind once they return from USA.

This isn’t true though is it.
Just because a player would like to further their career at another club then it doesn’t follow that their fee reduces.
I dont doubt that Mbeumo wants to leave Brentford for United or Spurs but so far Brentford have turned down 3 bids of over £50m ….
6 weeks until the window shuts no player is getting their valuation discounted mid July unless it was not realistic in the first place or the club are in financial distress.
Probably true but would he ?? 30k crowds - big name manager with huge Chelsea links? I guess granger things have happened and football is indeed a very very strange worldIf he turned down Ipswich he would laugh us out the room
Ipswich’s average attendance isProbably true but would he ?? 30k crowds - big name manager with huge Chelsea links? I guess granger things have happened and football is indeed a very very strange world
Remembered some childhood trauma right there lolThat’s like the ice cream van coming and you ask your mum for money for one and she says we have choc ices in the freezer

It’d be madness to sell him for that low.Wrights a quality player on his day but never expected him to want to hang around for another season in the championship at his age. If we got £10m fair enough.

Rival teams will remember his hatrixk and fact he got to playoff semi final not that he had a poor game or 2 in the final run in. That's just depressive cov fans.It was more if he’s pushing to go. Last summer I’d have said £15m+ easily but the way he ended the season I think we’d struggle to get that upfront
Watched him play a lot for Rangers. He's quick skillful and direct (and can shoot)What makes you want him? I’ve looked over his history and don’t see anything that stands out at all. Plus he’s a midget

We’d be looking for £13-15m regardless, IMO.It was more if he’s pushing to go. Last summer I’d have said £15m+ easily but the way he ended the season I think we’d struggle to get that upfront
That makes no difference, unless it's an elite manager in the PL or it's equivalent abroad.Probably true but would he ?? 30k crowds - big name manager with huge Chelsea links? I guess granger things have happened and football is indeed a very very strange world
If the deal isn’t worth up to £20m with add-ons and so on, we’ve wasted our time.There’s no way we let Wright go for £10m. An international, on a long contract, good age profile and a proven 20 goal striker. We should be busting a gut to retain. But if we can’t it’s got to be 15-20m

I'd take Dolan over Gassama all day but really it depends whether you're looking for someone to potentially oust the starter or someone who's happy being a squad player in a certain position. Sometimes you have to accept the latter if there are other priorities.I dunno man, went on loan and couldn’t even get a look in, Rangers fans don’t say anything pleasant. Dele Alli & Ravel Morrison were both once worth a lot but eventually you say nahhh not for me.
This Gassanga transfer to Rangers seems to be getting shaky, if we have the money coming in from Gyokeres and potentially Wright, MVE and maybeee Hamer… I wouldn’t be shopping in Poundland

If you apply that logic the only club who get fair market value are clubs who sell a player against his wishes. That is clearly not true.Of course it does. The value of an unhappy player to us is less than the value of a happy one. We become a more motivated seller.
Rumour was, MVE turned Leeds down to come here. There are sometimes more things to consider than just expected league position come next MayIf he turned down Ipswich he would laugh us out the room
The worst exchange rate was €1.02 to the £ in 2008. It's currently €1.15.Fucking hell Brexit really did do a number on the Pound.
The exchange rate in 2016 before the EU referendum was 1.3649 to £1. Post 2016 referendum was 1.1069. Which made every CCFC transfer from an EU country significantly more expensive.The worst exchange rate was €1.02 to the £ in 2008. It's currently €1.15.
Anyway.... football rumours, got anything?

The rate of 2008 that you quote is related to the banking crisis initiated by the "casino banking" activities related to the sub-prime market.
An inconvenient fact for pro-brexit supporters
Not saying that's wrong, but a glance at the Swansea forum would've told you that Gyökeres isn't at the level. Professionals within the club would have a better idea, and if we did go for him we'll just have to wait and judge him in a City shirt.I'll be honest I know nothing about him. But a quick glance at the Rangers forum and the consensus seems to be he clearly wasn't at the level for Rangers and he is surplus to requirements.
I sense we can do better.
