Longstaff probably but the difference for the outlay in fee and wages doesn’t make it worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 24 minutes ago, Manxst said: And then FFP came in and meant that clubs couldn’t just buy for inflated prices and sell for losses like Man City did. Clubs now have to be very precise and less scattergun so as to comply with the financial regulations. That's true to an extent but if you sign someone like Gordon on a 5-year deal, let's say £40m fee, if he has two decent seasons and you can find a buyer for £25m then you're still making a FFP profit (not including wages obviously) The key with FFP is just to not sign complete duds that you can't give away a few years down the line. Even a couple of those examples (Nastasic & Sinclair) I don't think even made a loss from a FFP perspective although I haven't actually sat at worked it out exactly.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I rate Willock higher than Gallagher honestly, both great talents nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am as convinced by Gallagher as I am Gordon. I'd take both, both will improve the team/squad but not convinced as I would be with someone like Maddison. They have both trended down the past year.

Pilko Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Feels like time is starting to run out a bit. I'm not saying we "have to" do anything in a given window but to leave it weaker than we started by losing Wood would be absolutely criminal given the position we're in tbh.

Mike Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I think Wood going is definitely proof that the wheels are turning behind the scenes. Hate having to wait this long but I think we'll sign at least 2 players this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I think we are still as a new ownership setting the stall out that we won't be taken for a ride by other clubs. This window again dictates how clubs see us and deal with us in the market going forward. I think they are quite prepared to present take it or leave it offers and wait until the windows end rather than be taken for a ride or be viewed as easy to hike prices up for. We want the best value we can get. Even if it ends up being fall back loans I think we will bring 1 or 2 in. I think the club is absolutely prepared to play the long game to get the club running on sound footing. It would seem counterintuitive on that front to let us slip from top 4 if we have a serious chance to get it and the benefits of CL that come with it.

The Prophet Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Brazilian press reporting we've had a third bid rejected for Franca. Our last offer was allegedly 18 million Euros with no sell-on clause. They want 20 million Euros plus a 50% sell-on clause. If correct, that feels like it could get done.

For a fair comparison also I’d love to see JW get some game time in advance central midfield. Miss his late bursts into the box. Feel like he’s a bit hamstrung playing so wide despite it obviously working for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Since Ashley sold us and we now at least try, the thing that makes me most happy apart from Eddie Howe, committed players, professional staff behind the scenes and a united fan base, is the fact that professional fucking wind up merchant Luke Edwards knows nowt about what's going on and is left to feed on scraps like a worm Bruce left in a dump at the training ground. Sorry to put everyone off their teas but I just needed to get that off my chest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher scored 8 league goals last season for Palace, and they didn't play the most progressive style of football. He'd add goals to the team.
