There are better strikers for 8 million. It is time to tell Norwich to do one and move on.

Norwich are doing nothing wrong. Its us lowballing as usuall. They are entitled to ask for what they want just like we are doing with O'riley. The fee they want is not unreasonable for an international 23yr old striker in todays market.

Bang on derry they've every right. there might be better strikers although am not sure a fancy foreign name would be better than idah who imo will only get better.

Obviously it is a matter of opinion but if we pay 8 million for him. I would be very surprised if we recoup that fee when he moves on. I would be comfortable paying 4-5 million and not a penny more.
I am not blaming Norwich as they are entitled to value him at whatever they want. This does not mean we should pay it.

@weejoe We shouldn't be looking to sign him to make a profit on him. that's the problem with our club, always comes down to the coin.
Why can't we just look to sign a striker who could become a legend like larsson did. We didn't recoup what we paid for him when he left for free. But his contributions were invaluable, beyond any financial gain.

I take your point derrytim but it's not me you need to convince, it is Nicholson and McKay.

Sounds like we'll end up between the 4-8m. It's the going rate. He should fit in seamlessly and could do the business domestically for years. Whether it's us or them this shouldn't have taken so long but sounds like wwere about to get our man.
