gdm Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) Didn’t feel like a mistake at the time but selling Toney turned out to be. Massive fan of Maxi was always a joy to watch him, there is very few like him when he’s in full flow. Edited July 30, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's spread like a usual transfer then we've been bent over a barrel and been Marcellus Wallaced. Upfront or installments doesn’t matter for FFP as far as I know.

Players like Merino don’t count as there was a release clause etc. Enrique? Took years to replace him iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment he’d started looking like a half decent player Charnley would have cashed in on him. Much rather have Isak and Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you mean it's £23m with performance related add ons? Edited July 30, 2023 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 When Barnes scores his first goal he'll be a distant memory. We need consistency in our bigger players & if we have any "wildcards" they should be of the younger, Minteh/Kuol profile. Best of luck to him & thanks for lighting up the Bruce years somewhat. Hope he kicks it over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because if his limited playing time last season and how well the team did without him swayed me to not feel so sad but that video does give me joy and sadness about his good times here.
