Both signed after Ashworth was appointed. Aye, we can lockdown things on our end all we want, but you're still at the mercy of agents and selling clubs If Leicester want an auction, they won't keep our interest in Barnes quiet.

Max Cherry Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Definitely agent driven but a Chiesa loan to buy makes so much sense. Would be great for Tonali too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t make sense for Juve though, if they need the money now? Can’t see them loaning, even if there’s a guarantee of a fee the following year.

McCormick Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 They did the same for Kuluvsevski (sp) but have to admit I’ve no idea how or if their financial situation has changed since that deal. But man…Pre-injury Chiesa on our right-wing would be truly mouth-watering stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 20 million bid for Cherki, almost certainly rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but this would make sense in terms of the club looking at players currently on low wages that wouldn't take much tempting to come here. Fits the profile more.

GeordieDazzler Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Lyon’s (majority) owner has been in a bit of bother recently hasn’t he? Same bloke who has a stake in Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Might not be. His reputation is pretty bad. If Lyon wants to cash in asap 20m might do it. That said I wonder why would Howe want him. He is exactly the type of player we shouldn’t want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think we are no longer shopping in the Asda bargain bins, but we are trying to buy players that we want, on our terms and what we see as our market value. Keeping or walking away from the bidding wars, agent led transfers or clubs pushing prices up. Basically a well run club we always hoped for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The massive problem for the players wanting to move back will be the wages they are on. Unless they get a massive pay off or their wages paid whilst on loan there is no way many or even any of the premier League clubs can afford them within FFP.

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 That was uefa and they managed to tie it in to the owners having two teams in the same euro competitions.

Matt1892 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Going into the summer the noises from Howe was about 2 or 3 top players as he didn’t want to upset the team, I completely understand that and that moved to looking at a CM, RW, LB and possibly a young RCB as initial back up to Schar. Again, completely understand that thinking. We have since signed a top CM bit have also been looking at a RB and a LW, which makes you wonder what is going on or what the plan is this window.
