Rudy Galetti doesn't know shit.
another quite day, so as always he's some fresh inside scoops from the always reliable ITKS.
From COYS (Prof). I know some of you love a cryptic!
For those who like such things, a cryptic from Galahad:
"Hefty bid made for Jonathon David
Non-cryptic from another source: "Still plugging away to strengthen the CB position. Aim is to get in one more; possibly two if we can shift Sanchez or Dier."
And one more: "Would like both a winger and a striker, however the former is considered a higher priority. Although we continue to work on it, our top target on the winger list looks like he's going elsewhere. #2 has a release clause above our ceiling valuation. So we're moving forward with options #1 and #3 in parallel. All of them Ange-approved."

We've had a longstanding interest in David so doesn't surprise me one bit if we've put a big bid in for him.
Ridiculous. Orban is not worth €30m given the risk unless a significant amount is dependent on performance.
I actually agree with them (if it’s true). It’s a lot of money for him. If we were signing him it would have happened by now. I suspect we’ve moved on.
I don't get it tbh.... How little should he be priced at?
That's £25m.
If we're not too convinced about the lad then we should have just walked away weeks ago.
If we're keen then, offer them £20m + £20 add ons........ If he's a hit then we won't give a shit about the extra 20m and if he's not; well we were happy enough to punt a similar amount on Veliz so what's the diff?
Is David really £30m less risky than Orban? We've had a tonne of duds from France so it's hardly a risk free market.
Yeh, I don't think that's the definition of the "we tried" meme.
Meh, i think i'm ok with this as long as we bring in another attacking player.
Get Janssen vibes. Stat monster in the lower leagues but still very raw and serious questions about him taking the next step.
I think that this has to be seen in the light of current fees with United paying more than twice that for Hojlund.
Risk needs to be priced in.
Lille paid €27m for Jonathan David from Gent so they obviously feel that’s a fair price for a player who has scored more goals.
Supply and demand will be at play here. If we feel that another 30m gets us a player who is ready for the next two seasons instead of several years of development…
Just trying to think when the last time an EPL team spend as little as £25m on a striker...... What did it buy them?
Newcastle / Chris Woods - 20m
Any other names???
