The Prophet Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Any deals done this week will be a back scratcher for FFP purposes. Buying DCL doesn't bother me, but flogging Minteh without any kind of buy back clause would be infuriating, particularly to a Premiet League rival.

captainhaircut Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I think this is exactly where the Minteh rumours have come from. Everyone knew there wasn’t really a market to sell him for £40m but now that’s been established. So we buy DCL for an inflated price and sell Minteh for an inflated price. Throw in a buy back and it solves PSR issues for us for the season. Buy back Minteh for 60m if he fires in the prem and if he doesn’t, we’ve lost nothing. Probably a sell on clause too.

I defy anyone on here to tell me that’s good business with a straight face Generally when we are linked with someone even if I don’t think personally it’s a good move, I give the club the benefit of the doubt. This is probably the first time since the takeover I don’t think I can do that. I’m starting to wonder if we lack imagination. A lot (not all) of our targets seem to be English, or Premier league. With the likes of Olise, Neto, and DCL, I wonder if we’re even looking at how injury prone players are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Gone from apparently wanting Mamardashvilli, Tosin, Kelly and Olise to possibly getting Trafford, Kelly and DCL with a talented youngster potentially leaving. Not the most exciting starts to the window and selling Minteh without even taking a look at him feels like a potentially huge mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been able to take a look at Minteh as much as we have any other signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigen Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 DCL isn't a bad player, but isn't a top 6 material. And he is overpriced and injury prone. The problem is always the same: Howe knows only PL players and want PL players. A manager never should make the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Signing Trafford, Kelly and Calvert-Lewin would be an underwhelming window for a team in the bottom half, never mind one that was in the Champions League last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would imagine they are bought to allow us to go big on a RW and CB. No point judging the window until it closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 It's not particularly exciting business on paper but then the likes of Burn, Gordon and to some extent Pope weren't exactly blood pumpers either so will await the proof of the pudding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Pains me to say it, but what was probably needed was for us to lose one of Bruno or Isak to an Arsenal and/or Man City because we had no other option, to really sober up some folks on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this deal with Everton is mutually beneficial in that sense. With all the complaining about it, maybe it would have been better if we didn't even have the option, and we were then forced to sell one of Isak or Bruno, to really give people something to cry about.

Kanji Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 If Minteh goes to Everton I will actually be really annoyed by that. If he goes overseas then all good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
