LFEE Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Phillips sounds like he’s definitely staying at City one more year so would ignore any links to him other than deliberate plants to divert attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) This is why the dreams of signing three more players for £100m combined was a fantasy. The Tonali deal was a big chunk. Depressing stuff, but we are miles ahead of where we thought we’d be. Still need another year of on field success, along with Ashworth & co sealing off field deals and sponsorship i still think there’s £50m there to spend, but the loan market could be an attractive route.

The Prophet Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Think we'll sign another Champions League level player, then a couple of low key players, basically the same as last summer with a similar outlay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 It does sound like we are the only ones even remotely concerned with staying within FFP. Yes we've spent a bit in the last year or so, but nothing more than should be reasonably expected looking at where we were and have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) If we don’t bag £5m from Darlow, I’d be disappointed, especially given he’s got two years left Lascelles is another one I think we could bag £8-£10m on. I’d sell and sign Tosin Adarabioyo for free. Would be great business. Edited July 3, 2023 by Toon88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) As above I think we will sign one more biggish name then two (loans) or smaller fees with players with potential or squad players with more quality than we currently have The owners / hierarchy always said it was a slow build , which is fine with me it does put pressure on all of our signings to be the exact fit (or we will temporarily plateau / fall slightly behind) We just have to be patient and build our revenue streams It will make it more satisfying when we do open the cheque book up and compete at the top Edited July 3, 2023 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if we'll be able to get Chiesa (but I'll take him all day long) but the idea of loan deals has made me think we might still be able to land a couple of high quality players with a loan to buy deal.

Gaztoon Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'm loving this journey ..I never expected 100m signings and 300k a week players..we're buying players that in the future will command that type of money ..but we'll be in a position to offer it in time.. Last season was atleast 2-3 years earlier than expected.. brilliant that it was it may not happen next season.. and that's ok because the journey is still on course.

Whats your (anyone’s actually) view on Chiesa? Few years ago he looked the real deal. Has he lost a few yards of pace or movement since his injuries? Any sign of him recovering that form? Or is his demise exaggerated? Not seen him play since those Euro’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant but we aren’t equipped to be competitive in CL and PL at the same time yet. Take the loot, moderate expectations and avoid getting knickers in a twist when we are struggling a bit at Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 6 hours ago, Toon88 said: Targett isn’t good enough, I’m afraid. If you can’t displace Burn, then you know your time is up. If we could recoup £10m for him, I’d do it. Maehle would be my choice. Cheaper option at Atalanta (£15m touted), and fantastic going forward. Hasn't played as a LB for ages though, wingback at Atalanta. He would probably struggle massively in a 4-man line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
