Loki679 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Pretty sure PIF could find a way to sling £50m to one of the non-PIF clubs on condition they buy Wissa for £45m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wissa we would jave to accept a huge loss on ..It really was bad business spending 55 million on a 29 year old striker West Ham to the rescue , we need them to stay up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Turkish clubs are pretty flush with money now days. I'd be delighted to even get 60-70% of our money back on some of these signings tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at us last night (and I know it was a decent performance), we need an overhaul. At least one new striker, a first choice RW and probably a decent backup too, left back understudy for Hall, a new keeper and probably a new CM. A proper #10 would be a great addition too. its a lot and it probably won’t happen but our squad is littered with players who simply aren’t good enough: Willock Elanga Murphy Wissa Wolte (sad to say but he’s just not a good fit for Eddie) Osula Krath Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 A new keeper and striker will set us back about £100m. We need cover for full backs as well as a right winger. I'd love to see where this money is coming from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If Tonali stays put, which I don't think he will, it seems like the right time for big Joe to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 47 minutes ago, duo said: Where did you read that? "According to Saudi Arabian journalist Ahmen Al-Ajlan, PIF is planning to sell all four Saudi Pro League clubs in its portfolio-Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, and Al-Hilal-as part of a broader strategy to reduce expenditure. Since an exorbitant amount of money has been spent by PIF in the last couple of years to uplift the stature of the Saudi Pro League, the time has apparently come to take a step back. Having done its bit, PIF is reportedly looking to reduce its spending. It owns 75% of these four clubs, and the remaining share rests with the Saudi Ministry of Sport. By putting these clubs up for sale, PIF may want to open investment opportunities for independent organisations, a move that could bring a fresh influx of funds, which could further enhance the quality of the league. As per The Express, Al-Hilal appear to be generating quite a buzz among the potential buyers. The club harbours an impressive squad, as the likes of Darwin Nunez, Joao Cancelo, and Theo Hernandez are all part of the side. The report further states that billionaire Prince Al Waleed bin Talal is currently the frontrunner to acquire the club. However, he is facing stiff competition from Prince Abdullah bin Mossad, the former Sheffield United owner." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 That said, I don't think it's cost cutting, it was the plan from the start. Once these are sold, they were going to buy another four clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 The clubs are all both massive money sinks and offer no chance of any financial return. One expensive favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 In Ross and Suds we trust... if they go down the data model (DataMB) based on this season performance and youth (u23) then you'd be looking at: Tonali - Taichi Fukui (21) from Arouca or Stije Resink (22) from Groningen. Livramento - Brooke Norton-Cuffy (22) from Genoa. Gordon - Maxence Rivera (23) from Heerenveen or Omari Hutchinson (22) from Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know enough about most of these players but signings like Hutchinson are why we are stagnating at the moment. If we sold Gordon we need to go up a level not down!

Minhosa Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 He fucking better have a plan for this summer. We need a major overhaul at GK/Up top and extra bodies BEFORE we even consider the likely departures of Tonali, Tino etc. Howe strikes me as someone who won’t like large numbers in/out at one time but surely we’ve got to be looking to ship 8 out at a minimum. Elanga Willock Wissa Krafth Trippier Ramsdale Vlach Targett Thats before we’ll probably need to replace those who are coveted by clubs in Europe. That’s major surgery and in a World Cup year. He fucking better have a plan…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Mitchell wasn’t hugely wrong about our transfer policies but was a complete bellend about it. Hopefully Wilson shares those opinions but goes about fixing it in a way that doesn’t decimate relationships at the club. Needs to be a summer of change.

Yep - it was completely needless to antagonise and call out Howe in such a public way. He could’ve had a more strident talk behind closed doors, and then made a more softly-softly approach to it all publicly. Something like ‘the club needed to get tried and tested players in to survive and grow quickly, but because of PSR we’re now entering a different stage of the club’s growth, and the transfer approach will change with it. I’ll be working with Eddie to ensure we get the best possible talent in, and rest assured we’ll still be spending every penny that the club is able to on improving the squad and supporting Eddie’. Summik like that anyway. Edited March 1 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
