Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg (75 Viewers)

[ptr]

Reality check for all that thought we signed KKH to compete with him or even worse, as backup. We’re not that big…yet.

Inevitable that he was going but I’m confident we’ve got a fantastic replacement in KKH.

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

I only cry when the football season ends and then I’m forced to watch England play football

 

[blunted]

Gutted if he goes

Need to get a good fee

Not sure wolfsburg is that good a move. The days of dzsko and grafite are long gone. Now the stadiums are rarely full and finish mid table

That said they do have without a doubt the best goal music of any club ever

At least it's not the Showaddywaddy version, is it?

 

[skybluecam]

6.5 million would be a joke

Also why do people love talking down our own players so much

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

£8m seems reasonable for Milan but 6.5 is not enough to sell surely?

 

[wingy]

My opinion, in today’s crazy market rates, 6.5M is poor.

It's not brilliant but it is a factor that the money Chian seems tighter this year,the main thing is he hasn't cost us a penny.

 

[Bigelvesy]

Didn’t you make a thread like 3 weeks ago saying you were no longer itk?

Yep, cant help himself,

 

[Bigelvesy]

Anybody got news on kkh injury as we deffo need him to be ready by the weekend with mve days numbered

Tbh he came off and said i’ll be alright to lampard and gave him the thumbs up and a nod. I dont think it was serious.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Luton signed Ryan giles for around 5 million and Milan is miles clear of giles

To be fair, Giles was 21, English and had just got 11 assists from LB. I can understand the £5m fee.

He also had that run and that cross

Exactly. MVE is a great defender, but his output going forward doesnt make any headlines.

The fact we havent had many concrete bids for him is why I always saw him going for around this much.

 

[Gint11]

Yes but as I’ve said; he gets caught out of position because he is doing his literal job - pushing high up the pitch when we have possession. Football isn’t played with flat banks of 4 or 5 behind the ball now when you’re in possession unless your Wycombe Wanderers or Premier League era Stoke City.

It happens to all full backs. Yes there’s an element of picking the right moments but I actually think MVE is relatively conservative given his pace.

Yeah good point and correct.
I do still feel, at times, he’s a bit erratic and a headless chicken but when he’s on it, he’s unplayable. Shame to lose him really and if it is around 6.5M, we’ve had our pants down in some respects.

 

[Lamps]

Would rather have sold Wright for £12 mill and kept MVE

Keep someone we have good cover for and get rid of the only striker most have any faith in?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Im with jamesimus , any fullback gets caught out time to time when asked to play high up the pitch .. the fact he can recover is what makes him so valuable to the team

He gets away with it in our league but wouldn’t against premier players who are already going to be are as quick as he is.

If there was interest from premier league clubs then we would be talking about a fee nearer to what most were hoping for.

 

[Gibbo]

It would have been insane to keep MVE. Or at least if there was a prospect of him staying, spend so much on KHH.i suspect the player himself was determined to move and had told them early on.

As to the value, those estimates of over 10 were way too optimistic for a full back of his age from a Championship side. Luton clearly overpaid for Giles. 8 was the figure I had in my head and the 6.5 being talked about is at the lower end but still doubles our money in 2 years.

There should be money in the kitty now for a good central defender

If only we could now shift Sheaf...

 

[Bristol sky blue]

Though the initial selling price seems low, sometimes we have to be pragmatic. As Gibbo says, we will double our money (probably more than, with add ons). Looks like MVE has been up front about wanting a move, we have acted quickly (and well) to replace him.

A decent CB and someone to compete with Sakamoto would make our squad clearly stronger than it was last year. Think Lampard will wait towards the end of the window though.

Record season ticket sales, Gyok £3.7 m, Binks £2.5m, MVE £6.5m, New Merch Sales - KKH - MABrau = ? To spend

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Meanwhile Besiktas still pursuing MVE with a loan to buy offer…

Remind me of the time on FM when Chelsea offered me 50 million for Gyok while Burnley offered me 5 million loan to buy

 

[skyblu3sk]

6-7m per season losses according to the notes from the fans forum, I'd take record season tickets and merch out of the equation I think it's mainly going to be based on players in and out.

 

[PVA]

Would rather have sold Wright for £12 mill and kept MVE

Sorry but that's nuts.

We don't need two top quality right backs, once KKH signed it was always a case of when MVE goes, not if.

Really hope this is sorted this week, bad feeling it rumbles on into the season.
