Obviously every player has his price and every club - buying and selling - has their own valuation on what represents fair value. Proposed transfers also break down all the time, however when it gets to the point that they are arguing over the detail of the deal - which seems the case here - they generally tend to go through. There is also the impact on the player, that if the club is prepared to sell them then maybe it's time to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 According to Sky Sports McLAUGHLIN IN DEMAND Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin is being pursued by four clubs, according to Sky sources. The 31-year-old, who has a year left to run on his contract at the Stadium of Light, has been the subject of approaches from Millwall, Trabzonspor in Turkey, Qarabag in Azerbaijan and Ludogorets in Bulgaria. Sunderland are understood to want £5m for the goalkeeper, who has been capped once by Scotland. That is so surreal it's enough to make you think Sky sports make up their own news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csinclair Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 QPR have signed a 4th senior keeper and confirmed one of Lumley, Dieng or Liam Kelly will be loaned out. To be honest, I think Kelly is good enough to be their first choice so I’d be disappointed if he does get loaned out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Aaron Wan-Bissaka went for £50m then Tierney should certainly be more than half that. Talking of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the amount times that he goes to ground and slide tackles, he's going to be a bombscare. Against Inter Milan he went ground maybe twenty times, alright, he won the ball 100% of the time, but law of averages tells you that he'll be sent of fair few times this season. Pepe is a fantastic player, I would say that he's worth that type of money, especially in today's climate. I was more having a go at Arsenal for not valuable Tierney higher.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another player with a high who scored rating(14th best in EPL). He was however well below that against Ryan Fraser, in fact there's quite a lot of right backs below their ratings against Fraser. Not sure if Fraser is quite good enough for the very top but would be interesting to see his valuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Fraser is quite good enough for the very top but would be interesting to see his valuation Wan-Bissaka is definitely going to develop into a top player. Defensively he's a little bit on the naive side, and as I said, his tendency to slide tackle is... well... it'll make Manchester United worth watching this season. I think he'll be shown a fair few reds this season. If they had Wan Bissaka on the right and Tierney on the left, it would be their best balance since the days of Irwin and Parker and Neville and Evra. This pre-season Wan-Bissaka has been on fire, whereas Shaw's been underwhelming. I think Fraser could cut it at a top 6 team. It's a shame that Bournemouth have put a £40m price tag on his head. He's another one that Arsenal wanted, and interesting that they'd rather take a £72m punt on a player who they don't know will adjust well to the EPL, than spend pretty much half that on a player who outshone the majority of his peers last season. For what it's worth, I don't think you place too much value on rating sites. Sites like sofascore, whoscored, etc, are interesting and they have their place.

Apparently the £72m is over a hefty amount of instalments of small amounts. One of the hitches with the Tierney deal is Celtic want the money up front and apparently a lot of the '£25m' offer Arsenal made was tied up in add-ons that were dependent on Arsenal qualifying for the Champions League which personally I wouldn't want to bet on.

Looking online their fans seem happy at the prospect of signing Cummings him up. Apparently what's happened is that a number of experienced players have retired and the current crop of Aussie youngsters are poor so they are looking at every eligible they can get.

FFS they must be utter sh*te then. If they think Cummings is the answer then fck knows what the question must've been! Had to Google him to see where he even is these days. Told he can leave Forest after being put out on loan and being honkin there as well. Can say with confidence that he'll never make it. Shame as I thought he had potential at one time.

It kinda sounds like the Aussies are presently in the bad position we found ourselves in 2002 when Craigie Broon stood doon and Berti Vogts took over. The experienced players retiring or else in sharp decline. The youngsters either of poor quality or the promising ones just still too raw to be of any use. The Aussies had quite a few good players in the late nineties - early 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
