Don't need

A bidding war for Wilson,We bid £20 million then Villa up their bid to £21 million.

According to his agent Wilson prefers the Toon but it's down to Bournemouth,I can't see them taking a lower offer just to please a player.

I suppose if he dug his heels in, bournemouth might conclude that £20 mill is better than nothing plus still having his wages to pay?

and of course they want richie don't they

Any time I hear "Bidding war" I think, He's not coming then. Ashley is like the French at war, Back out before it starts

According to a few reports we have offered 20m up front in one lump sum unlike installments so i think for the sake of 1m Bournemouth would accept our offer and then hopefully they will use some of that 20m to sign ritchie

Aye - I suspect if it comes down to a choice of lump sum, they want one of our players and their player wants to leave for us.

Then it might be enough to swing it despite the extra million from Vile.
