Didn't Blackpool want 1 Million? We got up to 850k 16:23 - Aug 9 with 1736 viewsgeg1992

So 150k difference - really! Seems a bit strange over such a little amount (in football terms)

Especially with Woolfe now out. I'd go back in and offer the 1m, or just shy to annoy them

Seems strange when we're desperate now!

It would be due to the sell on clauses I would imagine. Not the 150k

Poll: If only these two were available who would you choose for the rest of the season

If we’d just overpay by 150k for every player we’d of signed this summer then we’d be over 1m down. It’s not an insignificant amount is it?

Poll: Has our squad been improved this summer?

Town were playing it smart. It's obvious Tilt wants to join us as he put in transfer request. He's only got 12 months left of his contract so we could easily get him in January or next summer transfer windows for cheaper/FREE.

Ipswich were pretty much saying "we'll offer you £850k but if you reject it doesn't matter as we'll get him for half that in 6 months time".

Very smart

I would imagine there's more to it than just sticking them an extra £150k.

If you were dealing with 'Football People' I would agree but you are not. This is the Oyston family and that's a different ball game.

Exactly, considering what we’ve shelled out this window.

Is it though?

We need him now and we haven't got him.

We also now run the risk of other clubs watching him until January and potentially out bidding us.

I would be certain its the sell on clause. They are the issues that usually stall a deal at so close to the asking price.

Or an extra 17.6%.

I would certainly take that as a pay rise over the next 5 years!

It is possible we had already decided we were going no higher than 750K and pushed the boat out to the £850K. Who knows? More likely we always had in mind the £850K was the limit. There has to be a point at which we decide it is not value for money and to move on. It is those clubs that are held to ransom and surrender at the last minute that end up regretting it most.

Good job Knudsen, Chalobah, Donacien and Skuse can all play there too then.

I suspect we will also loan a centre back in the next few weeks.

Not the point though is it, you want some continuity and for players to play in their specialised position.

Skuse at centre half (which I'm not sure has ever been a thing) gives me the shivers

You have not got a job in the business world have you? There are no firms that carry extra wages just in case A B or C happen, they cannot afford too.

There's certainly plenty of comments on the news section saying the same.

Was that the absolute figure though?

I'm not questioning it, I just don't know where that figure is quoted as the buying price.

I am not convinced that we will be back in for him in the summer transfer window, I doubt that he is ready for Premier League football.
