We kust don't seem interested in buying players unless they're a main target and for a good price. Not according to Simon Jordan last year. I still cling to the hope we are bluffing.

I don’t think we are fully bluffing. Ultimately the books will have to balance to fall within FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Don't know where I read it yesterday, might even have been Sky Sports, but Chiesa is apparently looking at other options now since we won't be meeting his £52m valuation. The suggestion being that he favoured a move here all things being equal I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 We're not going to be discussing budgets and our spending power (or lack off) under FFP with anyone. So far the club have used the local press superbly to plant stories that serve its agenda. Constantly talking about FFP compounds the idea we don't have an unlimited budget to selling clubs, agents and over-expectant fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Seen a few rumours around Jean-Clair Todibo. I’d rather spend €40m on him, than this Disasi. He’s also younger at 23. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of years development, a season in the championship or abroad, then sell for £20m, with sell on/buy back clauses. Cycle continues. Exactly what we should be doing.

GeordieDazzler Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Not a lot you can do in this situation unfortunately when they haven’t yet signed pro terms. Chelsea do what they often do and offer ridic terms just to stack them high. Sure they did the same with a young Southampton player who was England captain in his age group.

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Sure his dad is contacted to the academy and the lad is a year older then the story.. little things but I now know Romano is not 100% accurate with his updates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of today I'm disappointed with it too. Everyone's aware of the FFP restrictions being banded around. Everyone's aware that nobody really knows how much we have to spend. I'm certain we'll do more, at least 1 more first teamer coming in. But I really wanted us to ship all the deadwood off ASAP (obviously not easy as nobody else wants them). VERY much looking forward to the point where we're just looking at bringing 1 or 2 in, so we don't have to worry about this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Really need to be exploiting the loan market. Spurs did it with Kulu and Bentancur, we should do the same with Chiesa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianSwan Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 As a neutral, would be awesome to see you get Kvrava for 100+ASM and then Diaby on loan from AL Nassr. They can't complain when Bournemouth and Lorient literally just done it a couple weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plettenberg been pushing the same story for a week, and nothing has happened. If you’re spending that kind of fee, I’d rather get a first choice CB. Be harsh on Schar, but he’d still get a shed load of games over the season. Said it earlier, but I’d rather target Jean-Clair Todibo, who is younger, more highly regarded, and around the same kind of fee as Disasi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
