While I'm not sure either of them are ideal signings from our POV, it still strengthens them significantly, and they are obviously better than the likes of Muphy. Almiron and Wood. As things stand we aren't likely to finish ahead of West Ham. A lot will depend on if we still have options up our sleeve to bring in more firepower. West ham doing amazing transfers and splashing that money. will be an hard nut to crack potentionaly looking at this.

Yeah, been saying this all along but I wouldn't be too surprised if we're still in business on deadline day. Providing Wilson is fit through August there's no great rush and if being patient results in better signings then carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what your saying but be just our luck for Wilson to get injured before Forest. Really want us to get off to a good start, hopefully see progress next week.

Providing Wilson is fit through August there's no great rush and if being patient results in better signings then carry on. Loads of work going on and off the pitch to move the club forward. Some deep cuts which need addressing, stuff we don't see or even hear about until it's done. Right now there is a lull, but I'm guessing our new setup is confident that's clubs will break on fees and they'll get 1 or 2 of their prime targets in. I do though think pining after players like Diaby when cheaper alternatives like Sarr are sitting in the championship is too good to pass up on. If Diaby comes available and we have Sarr, we sell or loan out Murphy, fraser or Almiron and improve out options no end. Funny how noises out of Lyon have changed dramatically as we cool our jets (overall on transfers) and arsenal target Tielemans. Player suddenly states he wants to leave and Lyon leaking the price is moderate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Everton really ought to but have at least the option to make a lot of money on DCL still. THey are both clubs that in the last decade at least tried to build their commercial revenue. We didn't and we basically have very few saleable assets. We need more income and that isnt going to come overnight. There is also clearly headway to sign some more players but the club is trying to be careful with it.

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Being patient for the best options is probably the smartest thing to do (although, it bears some risk...) but it's a bit frustrating as we see decent deals being done by others. I just hope we don't miss out on good youth while we're waiting to see how the market opens up for us for more senior options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Interesting point in the athletic article that we are already protecting Wilson, said he trained away from the group on occasion in Austria. Really highlights how much we do need another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment they decide that a player eg Paqueta is worth the going rate and to buy before anyone else does - the flood gates are open and the prices all shoot up. On the other hand we can’t just keep fucking clubs off after they’ve given their initial price which is always bound to be fucking daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I sincerely hope that, in typical PIF fashion, these lot haven’t underestimated the amount of capital required to challenge the top end of the table. In my experience they tend to (mostly) overpromise and underdeliver. The Neom project is currently an absolute shambles, they’ve just fired a lot of top execs in the Roshn project and their housing project near the airport and in northern industrial ports of Jeddah are massively underfunded and have missed their deadlines (I’m coming under a lot of heat for this specifically but their targets and set budget are massively at odds).

It will take a little time to play catch up, thought that has already started. Doubt there's any other team in the league with a sleeve sponsor worth more than they're front of shirt sponsor. That will change from next season. We have none of the daft things in place other sides have. I imagine after the training ground revamp we will unveil a training ground sponsor, but there's loads more we will be lining up behind the scenes.

Without knowing our back up targets to Diaby, Isaak etc. I would say Sarr at 20m-25m is a no brainer. He's lightening fast with plenty of potential. His fee is reasonable, he can play anywhere across (he's best as a RW imo) and his numbers in the league are respectable given he's always played for a team at the bottom end of the league.
