Krabbe2 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Will probably try Broja towards the end of August. Chelsea probably isn't done shopping either. With options for 5 substitutes, more attacking players are needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Disappointing to go into the season with only 2 new players to the squad. It's all gone a bit slow, hopefully they sort it out with the few weeks left of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 36 minutes ago, TRon said: One of the Youtube vloggers saying the reason clubs have been hesitant to trigger Cornet's release contract is he has some muscle tissue ptoblems which makes him prone to injuries if he plays 90 mins. No idea if this is true, but he was out for long periods last season. Is it not because with a release clause you’ve got to pay the fee all in one go? It can’t be spread per year.

The Prophet Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Apparently the lads at the True Faith event tonight said that we only have around £20 million left for up front payments during this transfer window. Any other cash will be structures deals or add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 £20m may well get us Maddisons kneecap using Rodgers calculations. Baffles me why people say these things, do they think people will belive them blindly? I certainly don't. Opinions are all well and good but don't pass them off as facts.

Don't they just mean we can pay £20m now. IE we could sign Maddison for 60m splitting it over 4 years and that would only require £15m right now?

JonBez comesock Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 If it is true and we only have £20m upfront it makes sense why we are struggling in the market however it doesn’t make sense in regards to ……..how have we only got that ?? We spent £3m on pope? Targett ?? Not sure …it could be a similar instalment arrangement Botman - £35m , could be covered by our short sleeve payments each year ? If 7m is true x 5 years ? maybe we do have 50m per window and we overspent in January to stay up? No idea ? As mentioned a few times , we just have to get on with it and trust the process The proof will be in the pudding. I still think we will get 2 players in to improve is , whatever the price maybe ….it doesn’t really matter. It only matters what we do on the pitch and we can all judge that. if we kick on ….the transfer policy is correct if we don’t ….it needs recalculating. It appears we are making strides forward off the pitch which wouldn’t make sense if we don’t follow suit on the pitch. It’s not always the best players that do well on the pitch it’s the best teams. Let’s hope we have one of the best teams ! Can’t wait for tomorrow ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 So predictable that the “I want it now” brats would be hoying toys out of prams over the transfer window. Despite the owners strategy being widely publicised. investment. Patience. Time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
