That is not the point, you clearly were sneering at Bologna without having checked the tables before.
Someone who has played about 15 or s Serie A games is going t be a good player adn will cost more than 1 million quid.

Not taking a side in this as I don’t mind Binks but did he play in the normal Serie A team? I read somewhere that he was in the “B” team or something, not sure if that’s true though?

So the fact he played in 15 games 2 seasons ago means hes worth over £1m

yeah, at going rates for players yes it does
You are not going to get someone who has played at that level for a million quid
People forget how much players cost these days and the market rates for them.

Gonzalo Vilar moved to Grenada after playing 17 games in the Serie A in 22/23 for less than £1m and thats after a 30 second search.

I wasn't sneering at Bologna I think you are missing the point. He played a handful of games for them a couple of years ago when they didn't finish 5th, he rarely started. He was playing Serie B football the season before us and he wasn't a regular starter in the Championship for us last season.
I like him as a player but just think a reality check is needed in this case.

Cool, there are exceptions but as a rule players who have played that many games for a serie a cost more than 1 million

I think you’ll find Kitching’s main issue is his fucking bowl cut. Sort your hair out, man.

Bologna are going to want far more than £1m for him.
The fact we’re even interested means he’s worth more than that.
Wouldn’t mind him re signing but for anything north of £2.5m I think there are better uses of our money.

Bit surprised if he does sign, I'd have thought he'd have wanted more games than he got last year.

Agree with that, atrocious. He reminds me of Maguire in many ways.

Needs a Doug special deal. £1m now and £5m on promotion
Gonna be the first team to get bankrupted by promotion to the PL.

The thing is with young defenders, providing the potential is there, the more they play together the better the defence should become. Of course this is all theory, but a consistent defence (if good enough) really helps. See Grahams Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho rated Binks when he was younger and is one of the great managers when it comes to recognising talent and potential.
Kitching was great in our run of games until near the end of the season. Kitching needs to improve his positional play and to stop getting sent off when it harms the team. Binks according to MR was improving all the time with us. Somehow, I will be surprised if this happens, unless Bologna place a realistic price on any transfer.

Binks would be a brilliant singing.
He’s comfortable on the ball and a confident player. Defensively he’s solid enough and that will improve with more game time and experience in the Championship. Bags of potential.
He also seems to have his head screwed on, has an affinity for the club and is obviously bought into the vision/journey/plan.
No downside for me.

If he’s £3 mil or under then I think that’s fair, anything significantly north of that and I think we can invest the money more wisely. What was Van Ewijk? £4 mil maybe? And he’s probably worth around £10 mil now? If we’re buying Binks for more than Van Ewijk then we’re doing something seriously wrong.

How much did Bologna sign him for?

There was no fee involved, Montreal and Bologna are owned by the same person.

It is more likely that it is Binks persuading them to rip up his contract? If he is on the reported wages that stacks up over the next two years.
They can cut loose his wages and make a tidy profit on a young player. Yes he has great potential but it doesn't sound like he has settled in Italy.
I think a deal can be made suitable for all especially with a few add ones.

Binksy has a publicly viewable LinkedIn account, accessible through a Google search and on it, it says he plays for Cov ", previously of Tottenham Hotspur Academy, Montreal Impact, Bologna 1909 and Como 1907."
This suggests he's left Bologna !
Or it could just be a balls-up by the website or his agent/PR rep

It's just what he had last season, it was changed in August when he joined on loanBinksy has a publicly viewable LinkedIn account, accessible through a Google search and on it, it says he plays for Cov ", previously of Tottenham Hotspur Academy, Montreal Impact, Bologna 1909 and Como 1907."

Try looking at the full history. That still shows him being at Montreal too. It says he's left Bologna in the bio at the top of the page

He's not done any activity on there for 8 months, it's probably just how he worded being on loan last season. He lists Como after Bologna where he was onloan before us.
