Seems crazy we are spending these sums on players we haven’t even heard of!So, if he keeps scoring, he'd be worth plenty more come the summer transfer window. If he's a regular scorer and regular starter I don't get why you'd sell him now. Maybe Brugge have cash problems and need to sell him, in which case, no problem. But I am slightly concerned. And after this season, I worry about a niggling knee problem...
Pretty sure the final payment for Watkins was £33m, once all the add ons came into play.
OK. If, after a year of Ivan signing for us, someone offered big money for him, would you have been asking the same questions?
You pay for potential talent, plus their current form.
I do hope you don't have partner, your very miserable today. And it's Valentine's day. Or did they forget your card? Come on we've just made a record signing for a striker. In what wild dream did any of us less than 5 years ago dream of £31m signing.
You sound to English to be a Brugge fanSo you are telling me you don't want Nusa but decide to buy Thiago for the same amount?
Pleasure doing business with you, lads. Feel free to look around for some other great future prospects.
Have you ever been to that pet of the world, they speak better English than what we do
I trust you'll be overriding the Brugges researcher for next seasons database!Just looking on the database to arrange the future transfer, and, erm.......... based on FM24 ratings I wouldn't get too excited
But no fear, our recruitment team know their apples so he'll be a God by this time next year :yes:
A bit like buying from us in the Championship except the top Belgian clubs are playing and quite often doing decently in European competition so at least you’ll know the technical and big game ability of players from there. I think because the PL is so tough we can’t get players as early and direct from a lower league like Bulgaria and need to have them developed a bit further.
Still building up? He was 6ft 2in in Bulgaria, but 6ft 3in in Belgium….
Not at all. Just asking questions other posters have made an effort to answer. Obviously I hope he's a great signing. But this is a discussion forum not a club love in .You really seem to be desperate to find some sort of a negative here.
Each to their own I guess ?
No but there's a great show-reel here. Starts with a miss, then he completely miss-kicks on the goal line and scores with his arse (they show that twice), another miss and finally a fluffed penalty. Looks like a Clayton Donaldson type player.
Ah, but in this mere world where a once innocuous fact is now deemed by some to be a veil over a vile assertion, we must ask ourselves, can any question truly be honest?
Obviously you are. Do you not see why your turn of phrase generated a reaction though?
Of course he did. Scoring with one's arse is not an easy skill to master.
What other novel tricks has he got up his sleeve I wonder? This is the sort of thing to attract the attention of the occasional football fan and the authorities. The authorities? Oh no!
