"two clubs negotiating a discounted group buy"
Levy... "Hey Huw, how about about a buy two, get one free deal?" |
F*cking idiots.
New TV deal yet they want to deal in old money.
I agree that 12 - 15m may seal a deal for Ben but £15m for Bony  |  |

Is this link the script for a new comedy TV show. Bony is worth £4)M alone. |  | | |

He's worth more than that mun.  |  |

It'll be interesting to see if Ben reports for pre season assessment/conditioning tomorrow? Would imagine he'll be there |  |

The stories are absolute rubbish, spoke with Ben earlier near the knoll. He is very happy at the swans and is living the dream. |  |
| Even when you know, you never know? |

If we could replace for a fraction of that cost, it begs the question why would Spurs not get this cheaper but equally good replacement?
I think 12-15 Million would be a very good price to sell at, but not less than that. |
Because we'd likely be taking on a risk by purchasing a player who hasn't played in the Premier League.
And the fact that Spurs are a bit stupid and have made some horrific deals in the transfer market recently. £10m+ for Ben Davies would be another awful use of resources.
What about £11.5m then? |  |
| |
| Davies to Spurs?.. on 21:56 - Jul 1 with 2442 views | Drizzy |
I wonder what'll happen next season if Ben continues his form from the end of last season and Neil becomes first choice?
No worries though we didn't need to sell for £10m anyway. | |

Yep, risk, so might not pay off, so very well might not be as good as Ben.
If Spurs are that stupid in the transfer market, maybe they'll pay 20 millin for ben.
No, 11.5 is less than 12 - I'd have thought even you would have known that. |  |

Based on last season Ben isn't even the best left-back on this team. We wouldn't need to replace him as Taylor does that. We may need to purchase extra cover.
They're stupid but not that stupid. I imagine they'd scoff at the thought of paying more than £6m for him and do what you said they would. Go out and get a better player on the continent for a fraction of the price. | |

So let’s sell every payer that has played well the season just gone, just in case they play crap next season and their value decreases - that is your logic, right? | |

What would people want if Lewis Holtby was thrown into the equation?
I'd take £3m + Holtby. |  |

Nope. If a player has a good season (bit of a stretch based on Ben's second half of the season) and offer of double his actual value comes in then you take it. Especially when you have a capable replacement already in the squad. | |

Based on last season, Ben was our best LB, as he started in most of our PL games. Therefore, I'd assume ML and Monk would agree.
Ben did not play as well as he did the season before, but you can't really say Taylor was the better LB, as he hardly played. | |

Taylor's body of performances were stronger than Ben's in my opinion. By your logic using selection Sinclair was better than Routledge in his first season which is debatable.
Honestly £10m would be fantastic business for the club and I think the move would be good for Ben. | |

"double his actual value" - yeah, right.
Let's just give them Ben, as he is shit anyway, eh! | |

No, I would say Routs deserved more chances in that first season, not that he was the better winger at that time. Routs has since gone on to prove he is a much better player than Sinclair - unless you think like DYSS, and simply look at goal scoring stats. Taylor IMHO, has not proved he is better than Ben, but only he deserved to be given more chances last season maybe.
12M would be acceptable, I think 10 is selling ourselves short, in the current market. | |

Fair point. Nice to hear from the sane section of that argument. | |

Good post, agree with all your points. | | | |

For me, it's all about what we can do with the money. That's what "value" is.
If we think we've got 2 left backs capable of competing next season even without Ben and we can go out and strengthen another area of the team by selling Ben then it's a no brainer. |  | | |

Ben Davies and Ashley Williams were there at today's first training session. I can make out Tiendalli, Rangel, Amat, Hernandez, Dyer, Chico, Tremmell, Fabianski in other photo's on the official site. | |
| Even when you know, you never know? |

Can’t see this happening as I don’t think Ben would want to leave at this early stage of his career.
l can see Ben turning this down for footballing and family reasons. He still lives with parents?
I think he will think there is no rush for this. | |
