Disco Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I said this in another thread. We were at least four first team players short last season from being half decent. We have lost/sold four first team squad players from last season and signed one so far. We are at least SEVEN first team players short for this season. This season will be a huge struggle. We can only assume Steve Bruce is happy with his squad. He seems very reticent to move players out and hasn't sanctioned any transfers in bar the one.

johnny36 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 surely Liverpool would loan out Wilson to Premier League club instead of selling for 15- 20 million if he has a good season they could get 30 or 40 for him next year Welsh international that can score goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 20M worth every penny for Wilson, IMO. Sounds like he's off to Bournemouth for £25m. FFS, how are we meant to compete with these massive clubs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny36 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Howe is spending a fair bit of money Billing 15 mil, Brooks 11 mill, Lerma 25 mill, Solanke 17 mill, Mepham 12 mill, Lloyd Kelly 13 mil, Ake 20 mill, Ibe 15 million all in past 2 season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 About £64m a season then not taking outgoings into account. Doesn't seem massively excessive for an ambitious PL club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Add to that big enough fees for Rico, Begovic, Wilson and Afobe..they have recouped a bit too but fair play to them for having a go Wilson cost like £3m tbf. He's a bit hit or miss with his signings in fairness albeit getting better. Mad thing is Bournemouth's transfer policy is little different to ours; buy young potential with sell on value (albeit they rarely sell on). They just execute it a lot more freely.

Mad thing is Bournemouth's transfer policy is little different to ours; buy young potential with sell on value (albeit they rarely sell on). They just execute it a lot more freely. Think they’re getting close to that. In Ake, Brooks & Wilson in particular they’ve got a few players in that £40-60m bracket now that some of the top clubs might come looking at within the next 12-18 months. Their net spend seems high due to not having those assets but they’ll be able to sell to buy soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Nicely played. Another week with a lower wage bill. Also perfect for the Arsenal game. If we dont get at least 4 in there will be even more discontent and hopefully more boycotting the game. Let me find my list of players on a free... Danny Simpson and Andy carrol coming home.

TBG Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Like Bruce said, transfer take forever these days, so not sure we've got time to bring anyone else in. Need to prioritize on the outgoings which strangely manage get completed within a few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Utterly ridiculous. Even under Rafa a lot of work was needed this summer, lost Joselu, diame, Rondon, Perez and kenedy. Left back also an under strength position and with 8 days to go the club signed one player. The whole summer has been inexcusable. All we’ll hear tho is we smashed our transfer record spending £40m on a player and thick cunts will still pay for an increased season ticket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be targeting a wing back that offers some attacking quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
