Toon88 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Leeds takeover confirmed. Ethan Ampadu signing for £7m. Hopefully they got some cash for Darlow. Edited July 18, 2023 by Toon88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year that £160M or whatever it was is back in play so that's when we'll spend big again but not this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Always find it's important to leave assessments about the transfer market until in closes. All we have now is an incomplete picture. The club are such a tight ship we can only make educated guesses about FFP, what we've tried to do so far and potential targets going forward.

Whilst I agree we are constrained by FFP, I’m not sure we would have spent 50 odd million on Tonali if it was that tight and would leave us struggling to bring in other players.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 We are limited massively by FFP, I don't think many would dispute that, just the 'strict budget' stuff. We kust don't seem interested in buying players unless they're a main target and for a good price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon88 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 We’ll bring in another three, at least. It’s still mid-July. I’d expect LCFC/Soton will back down on Barnes/Livramento, as the Championship season is just under three weeks away now. They will want to get rid of players, and complete their rebuilds. Everything ramps up towards August. Just needs patience, but nowadays, there is none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue Tonali in Jan and Gordon in summer would've made a lot more sense re: timing. (Never would happen in terms of Tonali leaving Milan mid season but logical for us in terms of how short we all thought CM was). Doesn't make a lot of sense signing Barnes this summer either but it appears we do place on emphasis on deals too good to miss for us/character.

The Prophet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Anyone still find it hard to believe we signed Tonali? We've purchased one of the most promising players in Europe from his boyhood club and the Champions League semifinalists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe this. If we can pull this one off, there's almost no-one I can't imagine us targeting. He's absolute quality and Milan born and bred. I thought he'd be their next mainstay, a la Maldini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
