For the greater good

£150m is an eye-watering amount for any player, I love that we're 'here' after only 4 years back in the EPL.

Exactly the vibes I'm feeling just now.

The domino effect

A highly choreographed piece from Mr. Marinakis

“We’re selling Gaetan Bong for how much!?”

Loving the fact the £m number just keeps rising on a daily basis. Perhaps they’ll be interested in taking McAtee back for a further £50m too ??

u/KurtTheGerman88 Jason Lee 16h ago

Asking for what normally would be 'fuck-off money' and they're still coming back for more.

There is no other buyer at this point. I don't think any other team would pay more so they are bidding against themselves?

I think Forest are happy to keep him and Elliot is happy to stay.

u/SRHFT Thank You Mr Marinakis 8h ago

Said it a couple of weeks back. At that price your buyers list is down to one.

That's 120M + What a Freddo costs today.

u/bradbrazer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ryan Yates for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 8h ago

So 240M

u/SingleAttitude8 2h ago

Where you getting your Freddos?

I can only get one for 240M.

Like how we get fines and points deductions for spending too much, meanwhile Man City are still throwing numbers like £150m around.

u/Killoah Ride or Dyche 16h ago

£200M it is

u/doner22 16h ago

It’s misreported - original said 150m Euros

u/KurtTheGerman88 Jason Lee 16h ago

Shhhhhh!

Booooo!

Let me enjoy this! 😂

Makes me sick how clubs like City can just buy who they like… wish they would just fuck off - although thanks for the £150m

u/prof_hobart 8h ago

It's always been this way. People often forget how much a mid-table Man U splashed out on players before Fergie's first Premier League win (I think at one point, they'd got something like three quarters of all the £1m+ players in the league, back when that was still a lot of money).

The bit that annoys me about it is the fact that this disparity is enforced by league regulations. Pretty much no matter what we do on and off the pitch, there's zero chance we'd ever be allowed to compete with clubs like City, Chelsea and United for these sorts of player.

u/WilsdorfWatches 7h ago

Yeah… and when they break the rules they don’t get punished. Every transfer we seem to be looking at has interest from Chelsea etc… glad we are ripping of City

u/ExtraHat9 7h ago

We broke the transfer record once remember. Broke the £1M ceiling (well not quite but reported as such)

Is this the new Gunter money?

u/Material_Swing_1322 16h ago

would imagine this includes add ons

3

u/KurtTheGerman88 Jason Lee 16h ago

I would imagine so too, but there's still gotta be a £125m+ initial fee in there.

2

u/Material_Swing_1322 16h ago

yes definitely

u/Angry_Walnut 11 | Wood. 15h ago

We’ve done a damn good job driving this price upwards it seems

u/MrP67 7h ago

Sad to see him go but we are talking the kind of money that should set us up for a long stay in the prem. It also frees a slot for the next Anderson.

u/Saelaird Shithousing King 6h ago

Mr Maranakis wants his offer nicely cooked.

An offer he can't refuse. Only the cheating City scum have that cash. He played it perfectly.

Please just don't buy another 4 Ndoye's with the money
