If we're seeking any other Premier League player, they're all ready to bend us over.
21 Aug 2026 20:05:59
And you think, for example, Spurs have not had their pants pulled down with the prices they are paying? Or City paying £116m for Anderson?
Or is it all about Liverpool and how every other team hates us with a passion, and are ganging up to screw us over only at every opportunity?
Or maybe prices are going up specifically in the EPL due to TV money?
I'll wait.

Infamy! Infamy!
They've all got it infamy!

The Premier League clubs are the ones guilty of inflating the market and now they are being charged a king's ransom to do business. We are just as guilty of causing these stupid figures as anyone else. Interesting that clubs in Italy and Spain can still pick up bargains.

Zedd,
Don't act silly. Spurs are spending and spending with a suspicious City deal.
As for City. Rice went for 100 million. Anderson is an excellent English player. 116 for the next decade seems about decent in today's market.
Anderson has proven what he is.
Minteh is average, not match fit until about December and not a player many clubs will lose sleep over. A very very poor possible signing.

Dry your eyes, lad, it's happening.
21 Aug 2026 20:26:46
I would certainly have taken Anderson for £116 million. ?
21 Aug 2026 20:38:16
Wow! You've got a lot of money, Tir.
Out of interest, what would you have done with him?
21 Aug 2026 20:39:18
To be fair, TIF, me too. I'm not worried about the fees we pay, it's just whether the players improve the team.
I trust the owners not to bankrupt us or make us subject to PSR scrutiny as pounds and pence don't score goals.
A shame he wanted City!
21 Aug 2026 20:49:11
Hey, @Rigsby, do you 'Miss Jones' now he's gone to Inter?
21 Aug 2026 20:59:34
Money whatevs. 60m 70m 80m whatevs. Buying injured players?! Wtf evs. I like Minteh £65m plus add ons fair play...but we're buying an injured player...medical...whatevs...money whatevs...league...wtf evs. See you in November, Mints.

I think Minteh will do v well for us, a real hard working player at the top of the pitch, and good delivery from wide areas. Isak thrived with that type of player in Murphy at Newcastle.
Maybe doesn't score enough, but I don't think that will be his primary role for us. Good age and good prem experience.
I don't know what story is on his injury, that's the only worry for me.

My God, Willo the Wisp.
Funnily enough I've already done a Kenny Williams impression on here tonight.
Seriously though, I won't Miss Jones. If anything, I'd have gotten Evil Edna to turn him into a tree if he stayed here.
21 Aug 2026 22:01:03
Lol, I almost heard Rigsy saying "Myyy Godd" in his usual way there. Yeah, I am a Williams, but now stop messin' about!
