Andy84 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We have probably just decided to mothball our transfer plans until summer 2018/19. We love a mothball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think we're just ringing round all clubs asking what is available for £10 million. Stupid, stupid, stupid approach to proceedings really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I know he's a hot prospect and all but I'd rather we spent £10m (if it actually happened - it won't) elsewhere than LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think we're just ringing round all clubs asking what is available for £10 million. Stupid, stupid, stupid approach to proceedings really. Beggars belief really. This is the one summer more than any other where player recruitment needs to be spot on. A lot of money needs investing on 5 or 6 players who will walk straight into the 1st team. We avoided relegation on the final day of last season, season ticket sales have collapsed, and a new manager is in place. Surely it's now where the idiots running things need to say right lets abandon our old policy of haggling to the last penny in the hope we can secure a bargain or 2 and instead just go out and get the players we've identified who will make sure we aren't in the same mess, or worse this time next year. If a player is rated so highly by our board then the chances are he's also rated at his current club so the asking price will need to be paid otherwise they aren't selling him.

Stifler Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Paying the going rate this summer is crucial I think. I also think we should be trying to get as many players as we can in, not limiting ourselves to just 6. Next season (assuming we stay up this one) the new TV deal will come into effect. Once this happens other clubs will be throwing money about and selling clubs will demand much more money off us. Buying not only this seasons targets but also those who we think can wait another year now will save us more money only a year or so down the line. Fuck the haggling, the time of being able to pay little and grab yourself a bargain is over for the Premier Lwague teams now. The prices maybe higher but if we do our scoring right then it doesn't mean to say that we won't get value for money. It's about time our board recognised this.

Really fearing for us when the new TV deal kicks in because the traditionally smaller clubs will throw caution to the wind and spend what they feel they'll need to in the hope of surviving in the PL whilst we will no doubt continue on as we have been and the sort of bargain basement players we're looking at now will be deemed too expensive as player values soar in line with all the additional money entering the league.

Scotty66 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Mings would be a great signing imo. Not sure about the £10M price tag for a championship defender but from when I've seen him he's VERY attacking. Got good stamina so always gets back to defend,good at crossing at likes to cut inside a lot. Would be interesting to see if he can cut it at Premier League level though but definitely one of the best players in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 He would need an equivalent of Kevin De Bruyne to put them on a plate for him, and I can't see that here tbh Nail on head.. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/bas-dost-the-best-striker-in-europe-youve-never-heard-of-10082605.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 When you watch that Video of Dost on the Chronicle site, you could maybe picture him in our side a couple of years ago with Cabaye pulling the strings. But right now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If our preferred media partners are saying a certain amount will be spent, well yeah...it's not that. Either were biggin up the number so fans get excited and buy season tickets or were playing it down so clubs won't ask for inflated fees. Whichever way it is it's almost certainly a lie.

Teasy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if Simpson is already here, just not announced yet. I think him leaving Derby just after McClaren says a lot and we never seem in much of a hurry to announce anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
