You've been babbling on in your posts about how it's far too early in the window to sell yet you're also claiming let's wait a week. The hypocrisy of your argument is clearly lost on you.

You do realise this is the exact strategy that Blackburn had with Brereton Diaz last summer and it failed miserably don't you? Or were they just lacking in your awe inspiring business acumen?

No one has actually said that at all. You're inventing arguments to suit your idiotic narrative.

It's not an under value offer if there isn't the interest to back it up. It's pretty obvious, if the club are receiving active interest from PL clubs then they're entitled to wait to see if an improved offer comes in. If they don't and have been rebuffed following several initial enquiries and...

Because in-demand English players traditionally command far more in fees than foreign signings.

It's not an under the odds offer really is it...

The vast majority of players have made the step up from the Championship for more money have been English, have been younger, and have had more years on left on their contract than Gyokeres.

No, I'm suggesting the club needs to read the room. It's an idiotic strategy waiting until later in the window in the event a PL club might table what in reality is an unrealistic bid. It's a risk they're more than entitled to take but Blackburn attempted the same tactic last summer with...

Yes true, but usually foreign signings made by PL clubs have played consistently in the highest division of the country they're in and as such have more pedigree attached to their name. Hence why they command the fee they do.

An initial enquiry will usually be made before a concrete offer is tabled otherwise they could just be wasting their time. As mentioned in reality it's probably a case that PL clubs just aren't really all that interested and the club's valuation is beyond what they deem is acceptable. If SL...

PL clubs aren't going to spend £20m for the sake of it though. It's still a large sum of money. Ultimately buying a striker out of the Championship with no PL experience is a risk, and there's far more examples in recent years of it not working that it actually paying off.

It could be the case that some have made enquiries but have been put off by the club's asking price.

Given last season they were one of the biggest spenders in the PL, it's a clearly a fabricated theory that WH are waiting to sell Rice in order to fund further transfers. Also hypothetically even if that was the case, that transfer saga could potentially rumble on for months. Regardless I...

Agreed. It'd be remiss of the club to wait for interest that quite evidently isn't really there. Especially when there's already a fair offer on the table. Not sure why fans can't grasp this.

His natural position is at CB but he's played in the wing back role for the past couple of seasons I think.

Assuming it's a legitimate rumour, he'll be coming in on a free.

Would be a solid signing, if true. He can also play CB.

Fits with the stupid post. Surely you must understand it’s a poor risk mitigation strategy offering similar length contracts to higher-risk signings such as Hilssner and Dacosta for instance, as to players which were bought for relatively sizeable fees suchas Hamer and Gyokeres. Does that not...

Yes, see post on previous page.

Indeed. In all fairness I know zero details other than that the proposed deal was significantly worse than the one in place with Wasps as well as the ominous phrase which was relayed to me. Hardly instilled confidence nonetheless. Realistically though, given the hardball approach they took when...
