And we got Joe for 1M, what a terrible deal that was too

Glad you agree with me on Mr Gelhardt, you're learning.

But the club gets everything wrong??? Am sure the Latics equivalent of you was boring their forum at the time too

For a defensive midfielder, at the age of 27 with a track record of injuries, whom has never played in the champions league or a world Cup and has been capped in what I consider to be a mediocre England team where he has never really set the world alight, I think £45 to £55 million is decent value for all parties concerned.

No point harping on about players loyalty these days. Football is a business with players just seen as £'S and are often discarded mercilessly by those in charge in order to grab or save a few quid.

KP doe's right to look after himself and to try and fulfil any ambitions he has, because they wont be realized at Leeds in this moment in time.

Your probably right. We might be looking at his value though rose tinted glasses and 45 to 55 mil would be decent.
However we’ve only got 42mil and are giving 5 of it back for a unknown untested youngster.

When he wore the shirt he gave his all not sure you can ask much more than that - who knows what the discussions were but we just seem to be naive and not negotiate hard when teams want our players.

The way the club repaid Bielsa shows there is little loyalty in football anyway - it’s just a business at the sharp end.

If we paid 16m for Junior then ……..

Hey ho at least we signing players I guess

I agree that we seem to have got the lower end of the price range, but what if Gnabri turns out to be a revelation next season or within the next couple of seasons?

As long as we add to the squad and aren't relegated at seasons end then this transfer doesn't really raise to many alarm bells for me.

KP could have gone a couple of seasons ago to Villa when they got promoted, but he stayed and not only helped us get promoted he helped to keep us in the prem for the last 2 years.

So I say he has been more than loyal for long enough, he has genuinely earned the right to earn more and test himself against the best clubs and players in Europe.

Lots of buts in that first sentence.

It is, but the "far-sighted proposal" won't be adopted by LUFC, mores the pity.
