Beauchief Owl Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hanley no loss. He has four years of his vastly overpaid contract to run so would expect either at least a four year deal or a big pay rise. Let Norwich blow their parachute money on him. Dean more of a loss, only last week London press had us down as the team to come in for him whilst Brum were linked with Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 1 hour ago, Bottler Owl said: To be fair I've seen it quoted that van Aken will cost us as little as 3 million euros or anything as much as £5.5m. It's almost as if journalists are plucking numbers out of the sky... Even a Dutch paper that quoted the higher figure suggested it could be considerably less. I'd be very surprised if it was the higher amount unless there are add-ons based on appearances and such like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypandy Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If Van Aken and Venancio both make the grade then i think CC has played a blinder, 2 CB's who can actually bring the ball up field and pass fwd, which will mean our midfield won't have to drop deep to collect the ball.

sMacLean Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Not bothered about Hanley.Another carthorse like Darren Purse was. Imagine the Van Aken fee will be something like £2.5m upfront and £5m when promoted to the Prem.Probably a common clause for a lot of top end championship sides.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Don't rate Hanley and fair enough dean is a solid player who I would have been happy with , but Leeds signing janson who nobody had heard of, he's arguably one of the best defenders in the league , look at Schindler for Huddersfield also, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 2 hours ago, room0035 said: Joost van Aken reported to be £4.5m seems very high when we don't have enough money to sign Mulgrew at £500k or Dean at £2m but we have reportedly £4.5m to sign a dutch center back who up to this week end we had never heard off. Maybe he is a world beater and we will sell him for £40m+ in a few years but would we not be better signing tried and tested Championship players. When we are promoted and have more money we then risk the foreign unknown players then buy him then. Maybe we're expecting to receive a big fee for someone in the next couple of days?

Maybe i am speaking out of turn but there seems no logic to the transfer dealings tried and tested Championship players are deemed too expensive but foreign players costing double are not. I think the big thing will be the relative wages. Hanley will likely have had a huge wage increase moving to Newcastle, where he was dropped after playing poorly and then wasn't first choice for the second half of the season. It's quite possible we liked the look of him before that move, but his poor form and the necessity to pay him higher wages than we would have if we'd got him straight from Blackburn have now put us off. Not saying he won't be a good player for Norwich, but there are more red flags now than 12 months ago. Edited August 29, 2017 by oz_owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is DC wary now about tried and tested championship players, after all we've got Abdi & Rhodes on our books and I doubt we'd get our money back on either. Hanley couldn't get in at Toon and their defence was hardly watertight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
