Dreamers.

Dreamers.

Why?

Pompey sold Matt Clarke to Brighton for £3.5m last summer in the same circumstances and we have the comments from the club previously.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

If it's to QPR it won't be a massive fee as they are in debt and won't pay silly money .Wish he was going somewhere else tbh

 

[Oxford1996]

Let’s be honest. As fans we that arsed what the fee is aslong as we use it to fill the last 2 squad spots with 2 quality signings.

I would quite like us to have a reputation as a club that won't get mugged off on transfers, and routinely accept less for our star players than other clubs would.

They've just got £19.5m for a player and have already paid out £2m to Livingston for a striker.

Still are in a massive hole financially and exactly, £2 mil for a striker isn't much at all in Championship , they are not big hitters such as Leeds/ WBA who would throw an extra 500k at it.
Sold there best player to C Palace who historically are hardly a bigger side .

£2m for a striker from the SPL minnows Livingston who I imagine haven't seen that sort of fee ever before.

A striker for £2 mil , how much will they pay for a centre half from ' minows ' in league 1? Not a lot more I would say ....they are not big spenders .

Livi are tiny in comparison even to us and we have a recent history of £m+ deals.

They are not big spenders , shopping at Livi anyway is the point I'm making
They do not splash out anymore than they need to.

He’s there number 1 target though which means they’d be willing to pay a bit more . Got to be looking at nearer 3.5 for him.

Yet Livi pushed them to spend £2m.

It is all academic mind as it'll be undisclosed publically.

I hope so but think it unlikely . Dislike QPR as well

He was contracted until 2022 which would have helped. I hope we get as much as poss but they are not a big spending club .

Yeah but Matt Clarke is 1 inch taller.

Still smaller than Jake Wright. ?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Jerome and Nathan saying that 'we ought to hold out for a seven figure sum' for Dickie. If that's all we can get, I'd keep him for his last contracted season.

Yes I think they are underplaying it especially with the rumours coming from the QPR end on the fee.

 

[Pontification]

Not convinced by the comments being made about Grigg not coming because he won't be top dog...

As others have said, he can't reasonably expect to walk into a L1 club and be first choice given his form over the last season and a half (?). However, if he's a good professional, he could expect and believe in himself to come in and force his way (back) into that position.

Given Taylor's fitness at times last season, I think Grigg could expect to be given a chance in some games - be it cup games, or Tuesday night games, or in a more straight forward rotation. He could also be sure of getting at least 20 mins a game to begin with as a sub, as I don't think we'll see Taylor doing a full 90 too often. If he scores in that 20 minutes and looks sharp, he might find himself starting.

I saw a suggestion a while back that Taylor was taking a very cautious approach to his injuries last season... sitting out where maybe he could have played. I don't know if this is true or not, but having a name like Grigg around might give Taylor that extra bit of encouragement to play a bit more. I'm not making a dig at Taylor - I don't know if there's any truth in what was posted before; despite it, he got enough goals.

If Grigg and Robinson believe that he can hit form with us, I guess the only reason for him not coming would be wages and what percentage of them we would be paying - if it works financially, its not the worst of gambles.

I completely agree with this... we have two / three months of potentially 6-8 games, so would be playing Saturday / Tuesday or such like. Having the squad depth this year with been so crucial.
