Don't think there's anything wrong with this post at all. As of today I'm disappointed with it too. Everyone's aware of the FFP restrictions being banded around. Everyone's aware that nobody really knows how much we have to spend.

 

I'm certain we'll do more, at least 1 more first teamer coming in. But I really wanted us to ship all the deadwood off ASAP (obviously not easy as nobody else wants them).

 

VERY much looking forward to the point where we're just looking at bringing 1 or 2 in, so we don't have to worry about this

I think I was hoping for the squad to be in place by the time we started pre season, I think Howe may have thought the same.

It really is that easy

Every manager wants that. But it’s very, very rare for it to be the case.

There was no chance that was going to happen.

Am very surprised at lack of loan signings/rumours, like.

I guess that will that be the fall back option for later in the window, depending on other / permanent transfers?

Even wil loan with option to buy, selling clubs woudl probably rather try and sell outright first.

We haven’t really been big loaners for ages, have we?

Loans never happen until the end of the transfer window.

We could barely afford them under Ashley anyway.

We loved a dodgy January loan signing in January under Ashley

[RobsonsWonderland]

We were going for dodgy nobody wants them loans under Ashley.. what we need is one of those big money club loans like Felix.

That 09/10 season when we loaned in Harewood, Hall, Van Aanholt, Simpson and Khizanishvili….be still my beating heart.

11mill loan fee wasn't it ? Similar effect on FFP that buying him would have.

But only for that one year.. so might be a better option if we know we want to spend big the following season on a perm move for someone else.

Plus his 230kpw (iirc) wage.

But that one year would affect the current FFP (If we are as tight to it as they say .......of which I have my doubts)

I don't necessarily mean Felix but the idea in principle. Didn't PSG sign mbappe on loan at first to get around FFP?

 

It's all part of the wheeling and dealing we need to do... Harry redknapp would be in his element nowadays!

PIF won't let us sign player the Saudi league may want..that's why our pool is so small..

 

Also, building 7

 

 

Oh shit, just thrown that in there at the end, I wonder how many will get the reference

[Thumbheed]

How many out and out right wingers have we been linked with? 

 

Seems we've been almost exclusively linked to left wingers since the takeover.

[gbandit]

Diaby is the main one, can’t think of others. Once Miggy hit a good run of form we barely heard about Diaby again 

[buzza]

Would like disasi and/or a left back to make the window a real good one.

Think the talk about Gordon being like a new signing might just turn out to be true.

WE GONNA BURN DA LEAGUE!!!

[Matt1892]

Presuming Maxi out and Barnes coming in are done deals, how many other incoming players do people think will arrive and in what positions?

 

I think we will look for a right forward but no idea about the defence, I went in to the summer seeing left back as one of the three priority positions but as the window goes on I think they might stick with Burn and Targett and instead spend on Livramento.

2 more max imo.

Think we might sneak in 3, particularly if Ashby is slated to go on loan to Swansea and Manquillo heads back to Spain.

 

RB, RCB, LB. I did think we’d go for a young forward who can play RW and up front. Although I think Eddie might see Gordon as that player already, so stick with 3.

 

Of those 3 at least 1 will be a season long loan with commitment to buy.

[KingArthur]

We desperately need a RCB and RB. I mean if Schär gets his weekly head injury and Trippier does his hamstring, we are fucked.
