30 million, ridiculous that

One Michael Keane

[GLewis]

Can’t say I noticed him last year but we must be confident of him becoming a really good player.

You’d think this latest push will do it.

wow , taking the piss really-     RS bid 12m   for Jamal Lewis and they wanted 20m,   went to Newcastle for 13.5,       no way should we be paying that

[Cereal Killer]

Be £15m and Sandro when Brands has finished with them

Presume they, and seemingly we, think he’s a lot better than Jamal Lewis

Smells like this lad was somebody we had planned on bringing in next Jan or summer after seeing if he kicked on in the championship. But we've decided to roll the dice a bit early - if we're going to have to spend on a defender because loan options aren't exceptional, we may as well push the boat out and get one of our actual future prospects that we trust to step in if needed.

5 centre halves though. Means Branthwaite as the youngest of the crop may see some loan action come January. (or we'll pick up another injury when Holgate comes back and all will be sound.

It's Brands, he got James for free for christ sake, we will not be paying £30M for this lad.

This. 20million plus add ons is more likely to be 20million including add ons.

[Bigstickytoffee]

Anyone else been seriously linked with him???

If we get this chap for anything north of 25 mil it does make you wonder why we pulled out of the gabriel deal

If Branthwaite isn’t that far off coming back by 16th he might be able to go out now.

Depends if Holgate is a way off as I’d presume we’d keep Branthwaite so we have 4 options

I haven't paid any attention to Arsenal this season, how is he getting on???

Maybe we got the other 3 for less than we were thinking at the time?

Or Holgate getting injured was after we pulled out of Gabriel deal and so brought this forward as @Mick 1995 says

Fee agreed, £25m, from Paul Joyce

Fair point. Was probably pre tempting 60 to 70 mil on the midfield 3 (and maybe plans to buy a rb have been shelved too)
