That's the thing though isn't it...

The usual moaners on this board just say everything's rubbish, we're back to Britt today as the target !

I ask who we should get instead given the financial situation we find ourselves in and you say 'Not Sure'

Its laughable tbh !!!!!
Hahaha

Target is a little harsh. I just think that some, myself included, would like to see a little more .
He's going to be on top £ and if there's a chance we could get something similar ish for less£ , why not?
Arsenal had to take a loan of over £100m. Times are tight.

So Nobby if you don’t do your job as well as 3 years ago, are less productive what relevance does that have today? I put it to you not a lot it is all about the present. Equally Britts pitiful return - 4 in 21- is representative of his work . A 1 in 5 merchant. So don’t tell me what he did in the past, it is what he is doing currently - which isn’t much. Not negative just fact Nobby

Well I could argue he's been injured and used in rotation with Akpom. His record with MFC is 1 goal every 3 games !
Timo Werner has only scored 4 goals this season, same as Britt, you saying Chelsea should get rid of him ?
I'll ask you the same question. You want rid of Britt, we have no money to spend, who are you going to replace him with ?????????

You 'Don't know'.....

Its not his fault he was given a massive contact, he is still a 1 in 3 striker.
...and that mostly playing up front on his own in a team that doesn't create many chances or score goals.
 
If he was on a long contract now what figure could we sell him for ?
i think this what we need to think about . I think £7m ish is where we’re at . Then who could we sign for up to £7m ? Woodrow is probably around that .

We don't have any money, we won't be spending anything though.

£20k per week for 5 years is £5m
£2m Transfer fee to Boro.
£375k signing on fee to bridge wages for 6 months.
That's £7.5m not £5.5m newy - even if your own estimates were right.

He is a pudding and simply not worth anything like that.
If we get a fee for him I will be delighted in more ways than one.

I mean.. if you don’t want me to put the deal together..

Works out at £1.474m a year for Bristol City for a player we were willing to invest £6.829m a year for in 2017 striker 28yo to 33yo with a canny resale value.

No, I don't know, not my job to review the thousands of football players in the world.

I think people are too hung up on Britt's transfer fee and salary.
It was the going rate at the time.

When you go to a decent restaurant you want decent food. Let me know when you've paid for a decent night out and it wasn't what you expected.
I'll just tell you that you were hung-up on the cost...
 
Will this be the first time ever we’ll have got our Ass out without being summarily reamed regarding cash value by another club ?
