Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg (103 Viewers)

[StrettoBoy]

MVE is my one of my favourite players so I will be sorry to see him go but, for the right fee, it could be the best thing for the club if we spend the money well on improving the squad.

I said a few weeks ago he's not worth £10m, probably more like 7.5m and I got pelters.

He's a very good championship full back but talk of £15m was just absolute fantasy.

Most people were around the 8m to 10m mark. Of course some went for more.

 

[Andy123456]

I'd be very surprised if it was as low as £6m. Not sure why we're believing GIMOC all of a sudden.

Think about it logically before taking posts at face value.

We paid nearly £4m. SC Heerenveen will retain a healthy sell-on fee, and when you include his contract during his time here that will leave basically nothing in terms of profit.

It wouldn't be worth agreeing to.

Chuck enough shit at the wall and eventually something will stick!!! GIMOC knows fook all

Good player and been a machine for us overall. But get him sold. Get the money and invest it wisely. I’m not 9 years old anymore so not going to cry about losing a player.

 

[larry_david]

When he signed we were already being fed a narrative of we'll sell him in two years for 10-15 million

The reality is he's done well but nowhere near as well as we hoped. There was a spell last season for a good month he needed to be dropped/rested. He also had a stinker on Saturday which suggests he knew he was off.

KKH was clearly brought in to replace. For once we've done it right with securing the replacement first.

If it’s true I can’t see how the fee is woeful

We place ridiculous assumed values on our players

It does bring out the horse trading aspect in some.

 

[Robinshio]

Maybe Doug is giving different numbers to different suspects to see where the leaks are coming from
Gimoc and saddle may have dropped their sources in it
Doug made everyone sign new NDAs so gross misconduct

 

[covboy9]

7-8 mill represents good business, he’s a decent footballer no more than thst

Please respect my right to quietly sob in the background, aged 40 years old.

I'm also 40 and I cried when Hamer left. Admittedly I was massively sleep deprived due to a 2 year old staying up all night

I’m not actually crying tbh mate, but if you ever want a hug at the match, I will be there for you.

Only when the rain starts to fall.

 

[Pusb1]

You know what.

I feel king has to be cooking something.
The whole model is to reinvest and improve. Lampard hasn't made a statement signing yet.

I'm not saying it'll be Doyle- but i absolutely think we'll see some interesting links over the next week

Would you not class Grimes and KKH as statement signings? I certainly did!

 

[Chris1987]

I'm quite surprised so many are happy with the fee when in today's market this really is nothing and he's a stand out player in one of the best leagues outside of Europe's big 5. Middlesbrough got £20 million for fecking Latte Lath

Only because there was a club stupid enough to pay that.

Where did that narrative originated from ? I never heard it

 

[Perennial Lurker]

6.5 M plus possible add ins is bang on. It’s a healthy profit. Unfortunately, being popular and engaging with the crowd at the end doesn’t add any value. Defensively he was just above average. KKH is a better player.

So why hasn't KKH gone to Bayern or Leipzig then if he is a better player ?

Answer is because he isn't and SBT spin doesnt change that

 

[CCFC96]

Im told its done but the fee is woeful


6.5 million up front, 15% sell on

Terrible business let's be honest

6.5m upfront feels like great business considering whatever appearance/individual performance based add-ons will be added to the deal + a 15% sell on.

If he's great for them we could see a huge sum on a player we signed for £4m - if not we've made a nice little profit.

haha

 

[Hincha]

We paid £3.4m for MvE (4m Euros) so will have doubled our money with the add-ons

Probably hoped for more at the start of the window but it is not bad business - especially as we got KKH in for the same price we paid for him

The cycle repeats with an English player who usually go for larger sums

 

[David O'Day]

Why are believing GIMOC and some who's source has been sacked?

Mad

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Mad

Because we as a fanbase are starved for information and are desperate to discuss shite even if we all have a large amount of scepticism

 

[fatso]

He's a very good championship full back but talk of £15m was just absolute fantasy.

Some on here were more than willing to sell Gyokeres for £10million.

£8million is ok if we spend it wisely, if we buy another Simms and BTA then its meaningless.

 

[Balli001]

Answer is because he isn't and SBT spin doesnt change that

If MVE is so much better why hasn't he played for a premier league side in Europe yet using your own logic?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

The same site values Josh Eccles at 7 million

What your point?

Edit: note to self. Read others replies before thinking you’re really witty and original.

Can't believe we're already arguing over a player we havnt even seen kick a ball in anger yet!

Honestly this forum gets more bizarre by the day!!!!

Roll on Saturday when we can talk about a game again.

That’s a crazy argument. We seem to have tied KKH up very early. Maybe circumstances at wherever he goes have changed. Maybe anything to be honest.

For me he's at a similar stage to where MvE was when we signed him . He has bags of potential and could be better than MvE but he's not currently

Obviously otherwise he’d have cost more being younger and English.

MVE mainly catches the eye due to his pace and his fist pump celebrations; he was / is great to watch, but was often caught out of position. That said, I thought he was a solid fullback, who stifled quick left wingers and often marked them out of the game.

I haven’t seen enough of KKH to make a judgement on whether he’ll be as good / better, so let’s see. I think the biggest ‘miss’ will be MVE’s fitness levels and endurance through a full season.

If KKH can stay fit, shows better defensive discipline, and has pace to burn, then I’m happy to redirect whatever delta there is between their respective fees to another position in the squad (or a young, promising understudy to KKH).

Im not sure I buy the whole “caught out of position “ thing - often just a football cliche which is often incorrectly used.

His job was often to get high up the pitch when we have the ball, but fortunately he has the pace to make excellent recovery runs. If the ball gets turned over because someone else has lost possession, it’s not his fault he is high up the pitch and an opponent is now behind him?!

Still think he was / is a better defensive outlet than an attacking one.

He’s an attacking fullback and when we are attacking is one of the 5 furthest forward players, and he still bailed Thomas out multiple times thanks to the fact he could get back.

There’s a real trend among some on here to start shit talking anyone who leaves the club for any reason.
