On the face of it, it's a decent signing (if it happens) |  |

| Flemming last season.... on 17:58 - Aug 31 with 1120 views | burnbudgiesburn | £17m is very reasonable. So reasonable in that I expect there to be add ons on top of that as well. Burnley fans furious at the fee and you can see why. I personally am still annoyed we didn't go in for him 2 years ago at half the price. |  | |  |

Only just turned 28 though. Definitely someone we are buying 'for now' rather than future sale. |  | |  |

....you're going on about to be honest. You saying that if Flemming scores 14 goals in the Prem this season he'll only be worth £8.5m next season? Odd take. |  |

His value in 1 year is irrelevant, if his goals help keep us in the PL |  | |  |

He’s not an investment for future transfer sales, he’s being purchased to secure PL safety which is worth significantly more than the £17m. |  | |  |
| Flemming last season.... on 18:02 - Aug 31 with 1050 views | ThatMuhrenCross | I appreciate it probably wasn’t our dream striking line-up, but as things stand I’d be fairly happy with Emersonn, Flemming and Akpom - there are definitely goals there. Would like to this Emersonn really steps up to the responsibility now though. |  |

This season is worth so much to us if we stay up, if he delivers only this year then it's definitely worth the price |  |

You want to go with the policy that got us relegated last time we were in the Prem?? |  |

So you have basically ignored what the OP has said and cut and pasted what you put on another thread on Flemming. He has 11 goals in the premier league to Szmodics’ four for comparison. And only six players scored 15 or more goals last season - so it’s quite exceptional is this day and age to do so. |  | |  |

We need him for one season and to score 10+ goals. If that keeps us up and the other players can score a few then that is all we are asking. We only need to finish 17th, we don't need to make it any more complicated than that right now. |  | |  |
| Flemming last season.... on 18:19 - Aug 31 with 772 views | Gary_Knows | I think it’s a good signing on the whole, and gives us options at both number 9 and 10, but does feel a bit panic buy at £17m for me. |  |

Even if they don't, we can't go into the season with two strikers, one of whom went off yesterday and the other about whom there are doubts ability-wise. [Post edited 31 Aug 18:23]

If he scores goals enough to keep us up, we'll more than recoup that, you massive fanny. |  |

| Flemming last season.... on 18:47 - Aug 31 with 547 views | SomethingBlue | Yes, the fee is absolutely fine. Player in his prime who has performed well in the top flight and delivered everywhere else he's been. We'll see if he's really what we need but nobody can seriously say we've overspent here. |  |

I’ve not been able to sleep since we knew Szmodics lost value tbf. Really worries me. |  |

....I genuinely think it's a decent price, I'm surprised he wasn't in the £20m - £25m range. I don't see where we could have got someone with his record and at his age for that price anywhere else. He was 28 only last month, surely he in his absolute prime. |  |

He had a good year last year, no doubt about it. But the majority of his goals have been in the Championship and Eredivisie before that. Just feels - don't know how to describe it - but if he was someone we ‘really’ wanted and this was the price point, why didn’t we move for him sooner? As I say, I don’t mind the signing and think he’s another one who gives us depth in more than 1 position, but price tag does seem a tad high for me. |  |
