r0cafella Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Point being Caulking loves to trot out the clubs lines on why something did or didn't happen it just lacks credibility in this situation as the comments citied by Yorkie are laughable. And I see the point about competition but cmon folks in 2025 people aren't choosing us over City. City wanted the lad and bought the lad end of story. It might work out it might not.

Yorkie Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Don't see what's so unusual about it. We were gonna sign someone and City acted quickly so we couldn't. I didn't say it was out of spite, they presumably identified him as a target too, but there was nothing to suggest they intended to get him in January. He was linked to us and then suddenly he was in a City shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They get no stories without trotting the club line, you know this. You've read the weekly psr cry article from them. @Yorkiei got you, thanks for clarifying. My point is more along the lines of most clubs in Europe of our stature and greater are looking at the same pools of players so it becomes a pecking order which we aren't at the top of.

Whitley mag Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Think Dibling might be one that goes before we get a chance in the summer, whether he’s worth 50 plus is another thing, but definitely someone I think Howe would have liked to work with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's where Paul Mitchell will get judged. He has a good track record of this and with our extended scouting programs. I hope we are able to find similar players to Dibling abroad for much less than the English premium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Am I right in thinking wages are a bigger issue to us more so than cost of a player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aye, especially if we qualify for Europe. New UEFA rules say something along the lines of your squad costs (wages effectively) have to be less that 70% of your overall turnover. Last financials the other week had ours currently at 68%. Obviously Miggy has gone, and by next season likely Wilson, Trippier, Lasecelles and Targett. Plus our revenue should be higher, but we still will need to be careful. Edited January 31 by sushimonster85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
