Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I'd rather we spent 11m on two or three quality players to be honest.

you wont get 3 quality players for 3m, transfer fees have increased over the past year. 11m is a lot for us but it isnt a lot for a player of edouards quality.
I don't believe that at all. We should be able to improve our team with 10m quid to the tune of 2/3 players. If we can't we're in for a lean summer.

Strikers are hard to find though, and people pay more for goalscorers. I’m just happy we’ve moved on from our run of signing shampooe strikers.

A few journalists were saying on L'Équipe TV that the Édouard deal will probably be the complement to one or two bigger deal to pass the 60m bar. Guedes to Valencia, Krychowiak to Seville and Édouard to Celtic.
Talk Verratti is for the off aswell, he’d raise that 60 mill on his own

OE deal obviously isn’t a necessity from PSG point of view but hopefully we see some movement soon
QSG need deals to be done before the end of the month. If Verratti leaves, I'm not sure it could be done in a couple of weeks.

Out team is full of players that cost that or less even. Of course we can.

It’s a massive fee and I don’t think any other team will go near him for it. I’d love him to stay but we can knock that price down no bother in my opinion.

Watching a documentary on Kylian MBappé, they say he wasn't called up for France U17, for the coach preferred Odsonne Édouard. He starred in the Euro 2015 win while MBappé played with the U19 instead.

Exactly. Unless people think we're a) spending 20+ million this summer and b) only think we can get 3 good players for it.

They're sniffing glue.

PTT saying Sky are putting the figure at 9 million. Don't know if that's down or total.

Seems steep to me but maybe we need to pay these fees now.

Will he be productive and would we at least get our money back?

I believe it's yes on both counts, this is a real statement of intent, and we all love a statement. This is the board stepping up and hopefully there is more to come.

£9 million for Edouard is a great deal in this market. Nottingham Forest have just signed a Benfica reserve player for £13 million. Some of the fees German clubs are paying for players I’ve never heard of this summer are also eye-watering.

At a guess I'd say £5mill up front and the following 4mill in all kinds of performance installments

Money well spent. Very slow start but as the season went on you can see the bhoys a massive talent. Nurture him right and we will make our money back 2 or 3 times over. Win win

Didnt realised he scored as many goals last season. Some of them very good goals too.

As a PSG striker who’s under contract, has shown he’s capable of doing it for us, and seems a decent (if raw) prospect, a £9m fee for Edouard seems reasonable enough.

More importantly, it’s good to see us move up a level in our spending.
