What's new

Alex Sandro

If it's 70million pounds or euros I don't care.

pay them the money and just get it done. Strengthing the squad comes with a price the board need to accept that and just sign the guy.

we have money ffs spend it on world class players 

 
Yeah but we could end up with the Koulibaly scenario where the demands keep going up knowing that they will never sell...just offer €70m and 48 hours...if he wants to come to us then Sandro needs to start forcing his way out...if he doesn't want to come then go for Henrique Dalbert.

 
So I've just heard we've had a £54m bid rejected.
Hold on, didn't Juve say they wouldn't take anything under £60m?
What is the board on?

You've got to negotiate....

60m is a huge amount of money, so why not see if you can ask for a lower price and see if deadline day helps facilitate a deal.  We are a club trying to run as a self-sustaining business after all.  Or at least less reliant on our owner.

Agree, however for the last 2/3 seasons our negotiating has left a lot to be desired, and has appeared to antagonise other clubs.

True, but our evaluations have somewhat turned out to be true.  At least the two that I ca nthink of.  We weren't willing to pay huge sum for Stones, and guess what he isn't worth what city paid for him.  Same with Koulibaly.  We will see how Lukaku fairs and compare him to Morata this season...

I do get it though, Sandro is pretty much a can't miss player. I would love to have him and if I had the funds, I'd pay it.  But I certainly do not and understand why the club are conducting business the way they are.  Marcos was signed for what, 25m?  Is Sandro 35m better than Alonso?  That would be like saying for every league game, Sandro is 1m better than Alonso...

Agree, Sandro is a can't miss player, and if we want to start challenging in the CL, Sandro is the level of player we require. Remains to be seen if the board still have the same ambition or vision as they did in 2004.

Yes Marcos Alonso was around £25 million last year (possibly would be £40 million this year), but imo Sandro is worth the £60 million in today's market. I think Alonso will get found out against the better CL teams, whereas Sandro is already proven in CL


 

 
If we've offered 54m then what's extra 15m? Get it done, could be the best signing of the window. I'm glad there's finally been some movement now!
