They are paying £60m, while we were undecided at £40m .
Doue or Bakayoko instead hopefully

We wanted player swaps in our offer which would have made sense60m on Neto with his injury record would have been a huge gamble on our part - probably worth pursuing to see if we could get to a more realistic fee. No great loss to miss out imv

Neto was always "good option at the right price" type of buy, 60M is not the right price ..
We'll see. But how many players do they have in that position? How much did they pay?
He probably negotiated a deal for himself with Cheatski at that time. An additional €25m, which Cheatski will fund by selling the training cones to themselves for €100m.Haha Apparently we had a meeting with Netos people yesterday which went well although suspiciously Mendes wasn't there! Such a slimey agent!

Really rate Neto. Unsurprisingly, priced out again.
Johnson played well on the right and returned decent numbers, and we have Deki so not sure we actually needed.
Neto has that high ceiling though imo. Inverted and with pace.
And I’m sure I’ve seen him play up top for Wolves. Not a long term solution there granted.
O'Keefe posted £57m which included £30m up frontA tad expensive I'd say, but we don't know how much of that is add ons, and what terms they come effective.
30m upfront and then further installments and addons I saw somewhereA tad expensive I'd say, but we don't know how much of that is add ons, and what terms they come effective.
Chelsea does Chelsea brick, not our concern
Re Neto for us, I don't think we can afford a 60M gamble on a player who's injury record is frankly fudging terrible regardless of how good they are.
Relieved we didn't get Neto, Maddison's injury record bothered me before signing and Neto is available half the time. Knee injuries really fudge players unfortunately. Bentancur isn't getting back for me.
