I’d much prefer we signed the next Sarr or the next Zaha to be more precise...at a fraction of the price. We tried to sign a ready made striker with Benteke and haven’t been able to afford another one since. That didn’t work out long term. I know it’s not easy. You can’t gamble the future of the club on a maybe...but I’d like to see a mix. This year the club have sort of done that. Couple of young players with a couple of proven ish players.

Originally posted by Painter Players are only worth, what someone is willing to pay. No other club met Watfords valuation, if he any good, a bigger club would have taken him at the asking price. Agreed. The point is that Watford didn't want to sell him whilst Stoke did want Butland off their hands. This type of last minute bidding for a player will only ever work if the seller is willing. We may still pick up a free transfer or hold onto our money until the next window when clubs below the Premier league will really be struggling. I think it was worth chancing our arm but it was likely that Watford told us they had no interest in selling and that was the end of it. One more point

Originally posted by Ginger Pubic Wig We are hoping no big club truly bids. Then we are bidding late and low (but as high as we dare) hoping other clubs aren't ready to gazump (or even match) us. Then we meet the other scenario of having our bid turned down as the club don't have enough time to find a replacement which has happened to us on more than one occasion

SP will be breathing a huge sigh of relief, I was amazed he got sucked into this PL money-pit at all. Big money signings how would you compare Sarr to Ayew (cost 2.5 million?) for instance. Sakho Benteke big loss-makers. SP has done so much for us, doesn't have to prove anything.

And we have rescued a gk crisis, by signing a very good gk who does admittedly need to rediscover his best form. Personally I am glad we tested Watford's willingness to sell Sarr. Watford weren't willing to sell at the price we could offer to pay. Hopefully in a few months time and with a few high wage earners off our books, we can go back in with another offer?

Watford have based their valuation of Sarr on Watkins and Benrahma, Their justification to the valuation is the fact Sarr has Premiership experience, I do wonder if the boot was on the other foot and it was us that got relegated and they were interested in Zaha or any of our players how much would they have valued them. The problem Watford have now is they have to be in the running for promotion, if they do not instantly get back into the Premiership at the first attempt them Sarr value is going to drop greatly. South London & Proud Sometimes I really wonder if family are really worth it. Because it doesn’t matter how time and affection you give It’s never enough

Originally posted by BelfastEagle His value is only going to drop playing in the championship. It will depend on how well he does. if his goal and assist tallies are impressive he could still command over £30m (which Watkins has and Benrahma will have if the add-ons are triggered). Also he has the added advantage that he has shown what he can do in the PL, albeit not for long enough yet to make the big teams really sit up.

Am reasonably optimistic

Clickbait says we are after him (again), I hope not. He has not impressed the last couple of seasons and we can do better, Watford will still want top dollar for him. Give it a miss. One more point

I think there's a very good player in there and he is lightning quick, but we have Olise and Ayew who play on the right and Rak-Sakyi coming through, so where does he fit in? Also there have been questions over his attitude with regard to working for the team. I think this a rehashing of an old story.
