joeyt Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Can't see Perez coming unless we flog Mitro. Thankfully this madness will be over soon: 4 strikers Jeremy?! Four?! That's insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Think it's fair to say that the goalkeeper and second striker signings are completely dependent on outgoings, can't see us having much room left to manoeuvre after Kenedy. Maybe I'm naive, but I can't believe we haven't shifted anyone for 4 weeks (since Murphy). I wouldn't be surprised if we're not prepared to take a huge hit on our duds unfortunately. I reckon this is it. We may have to loan them out and offer a wage contribution, which is better than nothing and frees up wages, but the club would probably rather wait until some Championship clubs get desperate before we cut our losses and take the hit. I reckon Rafa is not just fed up with incomings but also the club's slowness to shift players. It would be classic Ashley to wait until deadline day and get some decent deals for them, leaving Rafa no time to invest the proceeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Rafa has signed quite a lot of South American players for his other clubs hasn't he? Considering our limited budget i'm surprised we haven't dipped into that market where clubs probably wouldn't be asking for huge fees. Having watched some Brazilian League the last couple of years i realise there's some absolute shite playing over there but surely there would be a couple of gems we could pick up for cheap? The likes of Benfica and Porto always seem to do quite well going down this route and (rubs his hands like Mike Ashley) make some massive profits on some players.

Guest Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Think it was obvious after we signed Joselu we'd given up on Lucas Perez since he seemed intent on going back there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of gems that kick around in the league, but generally the quality wasn't that high. The player (Douglas Luiz) that Man City signed then loaned out has some talent about him. It could be due to work permits for some of the players coming over from South America. Another factor could be the agent fee's that come up due to sometimes people owning the rights to players (kind of like the Tammy Abraham situation).

I always think a football club would "make sure" they get a work permit for a player if they really wanted to but i hadn't thought about these dodgy agents owning the player rights, it's bound to put off a lot of clubs never mind us.

huss9 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 harry rednapp was on talksport this morning talking about the problems with making loan deals. he mentioned the huge loan fees but also the fact that clauses were inserted so that penalties would have to be paid every time the player wasnt picked to start. fucking ridiculous.
