Agree wages are astronomical (if true) and quite possibly a sticking point. Massive difference between him and RLC is one is 21 and the other is 26. Clearly CHO’s ceiling for improvement would be a lot higher at this moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 1 hour ago, McCormick said: I think this one might be a goer. The guy needs consistent game-time, is the type of age we’re targeting and Chelsea would probably be willing to do a deal. If we’re really in for him we could get this done reasonably quickly you’d hope. Plus they’re signing Sterling imminently too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Wonder if we are lining up a double deal for him and Broja. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted 175 at the end the season so I'd be happy to be 5 million shy. Our priority must be attacking players I think we've only signed the defenders first because deals were already in place and took the opportunity with Pope as Burnley were relegated.

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 And only three weeks into a twelve week window. As teams review their squads including players returned from loan, Chelsea case in point, and set about pre-season proper guessing there’ll be another spurt of deals soon.

The Prophet Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I did enjoy Edwards reporting it'd be quiet until at least early next week, then only 48 hours later claim that we were in deadlocked talks for Diaby. Still banging the Harrison drum too despite his reporting on our alleged budget. He's a mess of a journalist, shame he gets social media or he'd be an irrelevance now.

That was a bit tongue in cheek mate but do think we'll spend 120 million aye, ffp doesn't seem to bother anyone else Everton were making 50 million quid signings a few seasons ago.

Manxst Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 1 minute ago, madras said: And Everton could only buy Gray last summer because of it. This. The owners have a long term plan and spending a load of cash this year will only hamper our ability to build/spend in future windows. We’re well on the way and doing the right things, but shouldn’t spend hundreds of millions right now as we’ll be looking to spend those amounts in ‘top tier’ brackets of players in the next year or three. Spending now (which we could do) will prevent us from doing that in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think they will get a winger and striker in before the end of the window. Then in January if we pushing for Europa spot, I think they will spend again in Jan. I think they are aiming for Europe qualification if possible next year. That will then allow for large sponsorship deals and then the next level of player willing to join. IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
