We’ve offered £60m for Olise & £65m for Guehi there is some money there & Douglas reckons there will be £20m-£30m left over and that’s with no outgoings so there is money there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I feel like we are being very gunshy, looking for the ‘perfect’ transfer. Which is understandable given the FFP / PSR restrictions. At some point though, we are going to have to take a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I'm worried we won't get people in, but I'm not worried that the club isn't trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Why is the transfer window open after the season starts? It just seems a bit daft as it causes disruption and I'm always dubious about the character of folk who come in after the season starts, like they didn't want to be here. micheal fucking owen being key amongst them. Just my feeling though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the season without a marquee signing (and the same poor RW options) is just a bit dull. The only saving grace is Tonali coming back genuinely feels like a new signing.

It just feels like a slowing of momentum. The hope was we’d continue to build but this summer and the PSR challenges has dampened the overall pace. Chuck in the non-news on the ground and training pitch and it’s been uneventful. All could change in a week with a couple of signings and their decision on SJP.

Pilko Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Feels so quiet I'm expecting the Chronicle to be readying the dreaded "It's Sho Time" or "Let's Get This Sho On The Road" back page that we were all so accustomed to many years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 PSR will kill the game. Teams need to sell to buy but teams can’t buy because they need to sell to clubs that can’t buy because they need to sell to clubs that can’t buy… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed it a few years ago to it closing as the season starts iirc and it didn’t work for some reason and changed it back. or I’ve made that up but I’m sure it happened Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have money to spend, around 6-70m. We have spent some on Osula already. 2. If we do have extras, we should have heard some news or rumours re RW already. None. 3. We won’t have outgoings. We have been trying our best to move players before June and we failed. Why would you think we can suddenly do it now? Just like the Almiron deal, we have to accept close to nothing price if we want to move them. Probably just wages saving, like the Targett loan.

r0cafella Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Bailey is a bit of a bullshit merchant but if we let him go on loan we have to include an obligation to buy. He’s surplus to requirements at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just wages saving, like the Targett loan. 1. going by what mark douglas has said today if we spend £65-£70m on Guehi we have about £20m to £30m left which tbh im surprised at 2. we’ve been linked with Torres yesterday and Madueke just the other day. The Guehi stuff is only public because palace leaked it. If they hadn’t you’d be saying the same thing about CH that you just said about RW. No news or rumours doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on 3. deals always go late in the window. Seems this window is particularly slow and I think we’ll see a load of deals across the league in the final week. i predict up to 6 players will leave. Targett on loan, Fraser and one of Trippier or Almiron (hopefully Almiron) the fact the club were talking to Charlotte means they are willing to let him go. Also either Dubravka will be sold or the Greek guy will be loaned out. We won’t have 5 keepers in the squad. Hayden & Lewis will be loaned out also Edited August 20 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
