Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

If reports are to be believed, we have had two bids turned down by Aberdeen for Shayden Morris, the most recent £600,000.

If it is also to be believed (and I have no reason to doubt it yet) that we have a 'healthy' transfer budget, then we should be able to meet the valuation and pay market value instead of arguing over what is effectively pocket change in todays football market.

No idea if he is considered as 'if we get him great, but if not, meh' or someone we would break the bank to get our hands on.

But I do think that in this period of financial advantage we have over the rest of L1 we should be able to make a statement of intent at some point.

(Indeed, the apparently imminent signing of the young Spurs keeper looks great. No idea of the fee though.)

If £600k is being knocked back then presumably it must be at least half of what would be considered market value. If market value is £5 Million then we are of course taking the piss. But if market value is, say, £1 Million we should be able to step up if this is an identified target. If Aberdeen still say no, then fair enough, that is their perogative.

I wish we could have played a bit more hardball ourselves over the likes of Aasgaard.
