buzza Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I am now hoping Leeds will go down, I really think Phillips would elevate our midfield and be the anchorman in midfield which would allow other to be more creative going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Craig Hope this morning, saying that the club have been very eager to circulate that we've not got a budget of more then £60 million plus player sales. He said it was similar pre-January and his theory is that they're just trying to keep prices down. Edited May 17, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blind man on a galloping horse can see we're going to be spending more than £60m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way an alleged budget has even been assigned, yet alone circulated. Anything made available will be just to keep predator agents at bay until we speak to them and stop them from touting their average players for £40-50M as soon as theres any indication we've even looked at them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was similar pre-January and his theory is that they're just trying to keep prices down. The get out clause if you read a lot of the articles closely is that the budget is based on current commercial deals. I'm sure that will be the "out" to save face for all parties when we spend a lot more than what's being quoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Henderson isn’t that much of a step up from Dubs, so I’d be dismayed if we spent more than £10m on him. His wages are crazy as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Leeds going down and getting Phillips for his release clause, could probably try and get £5-6m knocked off by throwing in Hayden? They’d have a ready made replacement who should boss the Championship, we have our main target. Everyone wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
