Guest Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Probably heard the same as me - 15.5 million. I just don't see it myself and hope the rumour is wrong, unless maybe a player coming this way is involved as well? Be very disappointed if he goes for that and that is all we are getting.

Where did I say I believe it, I said I don't see it myself. But it could also be 15.5 plus a player who is worth more than £7m?

Lrrr Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Can't think why we'd turn down a higher offer for him (according to kitr) and then be willing to accept 3/4's of the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Will be a right kick in the bollocks. I know it’s probably nothing but LJ didn’t seem too happy in his post match interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Step one: Sees Adam Webster thread is hot and panics Step two: Sees fee quoted and relaxes Seriously - £15.5m? Jesus guys, put your bullshit radar on. With the Ipswich sell on that doesn’t leave enough net after original fee for a quality replacement - and LJ won’t sell unless he can improve. Not doubting the validity of your sources, but every piece of common sense says is accepting a fee 2/3 of that turned down with less time and a smaller market to get a replacement In is clearly knackers.

Quite. Quoting £30m may have been an opening gambit but accepting a bid of half that amount would wreck the reputation we have built as strong negotiators. Plus Villa would have been more than happy to pay £15.5m so why would we not have accepted their bid? Unless there is some unknown factor it is just implausible.

With the sell on clause to Ipswich, at this price we would not clear £11m. Seems very unlikely at that price, when we have quoted 30m. I still think if someone can back to us with 20m + add ons, then our nerve would be tested. Every player has their price. With the craziness of the last few weeks of the transfer deadline nearly upon us. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that he may go to a PL team for that sort of price.

chipdawg Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 There is zero chance Webster would have played today if we'd accepted or were seriously considering accepting an offer on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 One things for sure. This window has taught me (think I already knew) that there is so much BS going on, and people post in good faith, but are unable to honestly back up their stories, because it’s second, third, fourth hand. It’s pretty easy for someone to say to you “my mate knows city Staff Member X and he’s just said ABC”. You have no way of checking that 1) that person does know X nor 2) that even if 1 is true that X said ABC. Webster might be off....I know Kid said earlier on this summer he thought he’d go eventually. I hope he doesn’t. If he does, as far as I'm concerned we just go out and get Hector (or someone if his ilk) with the millions we’ve just received. Shit happens. There will be a plan in place / succession planning. LJ was pretty confident the other day, but £millions change things pretty quickly. A year ago, I’d probably be quite worried, but we got it right last summer, and we’ve got it right so far this summer. Whilst mentioning Hector, if we’re gonna have Dasilva, Kalas and Hector, don’t we just need a Chelsea RB too....Dujon Sterling anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone has said "this is happening" have they. But it could quite easily be a fee plus a player taking it above Villas offer - even though I don't think it is happening due the reasons already stated. I only backed up what someone else has been told as I was told the same earlier. I only clicked on the topic to see if someone else had posted something similar.

Tbh buddy I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong - you’ve heard a rumour and passed it on. That’s what forums are for. My post was more to try and stop the total overreaction which would come even though your information by all logic looks wrong. People lose perspective here!

Someone messaged me earlier about this Webster rumour and even said where it had came from, I think it's probably bollox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
