Summer transfer window 2023

[witchdoc187]

We must be near the bottom of our list of strikers at the moment ! Wonder what part of the transfer takes months ?

Maybe offer Maupay a new bumper contract??

Can I mention a certain white hooded cult as a reference to Kenwright and Kopite Kev

Every year people get angry about the wording of made up rumours. Amazing

Not just that is just that pre season is going by no new players and looks like a last minute approach again. Hard to be happy when the squad needs players so bad and just seems to be nothing

Maupay was a 1 in 3 striker at Brighton and a 1 in 10 striker here. Do you think he just completely forgot whatever football he knew before? I’m not saying he’s Lewandowski but we made him look terrible beyond what he is.

For us he’s 1 in 27 and for them he was 1 in 4. And he’s crap.

You should like Marcel Brands or whoever gave Pennington that payday deal

 

[carolinablue232]

Myko - 20 mil
Onana - 35 mil
Patterson - 16 mil
Maupay - 15 mil
McNeil - 20 mil
Garner - 15 mil

That’s just some of the signings over the past 2 seasons, god knows how much dele will end up costing

It doesn’t scream to me we are in a financial mess and can’t afford to buy anyone especially when in the same 2 seasons we have made significant money from the sales of Digne, Richarlison, Gordon and Kean


We got 39 mil this season, 100 mil last season and 46 mil the season before. Sales totalling around 185 mil with purchases totalling around 120 mil so there is gap of around 65 mil there.

That’s clearly the Gordon and moise keane money that hasn’t been spent yet

So the notion that we have no money is false

What is probably true though is that we do have money but the club just doesn’t want to spend it

Did we really spend 20mil on Myko? We’re funny

Nobody's happy but people need to understand that the pages online are made up clickbait

Agree just hard not getting frustrated

We have no, or very little, money to spend on transfers. That should mean the onus is fully on promoting the youngsters who have promise into the first team environment rapidly. Get them in, hope they play well and generate interest for sales next close season. Rinse and repeat. It’s the only way to do it without the folding stuff.
The issue I see is that to do that it needs a certain profile of manager and that unfortunately isn’t the manager we currently have as his approach favours experienced players. In turn that tells me that there has been no rational thinking and we have a DoF and manager who are not on the same path in terms of this model. It’s destined to more failure unless a) the owner sells up and a big investor injects capital, or b) Dyche, Thelwall or both have to be replaced with people who can buy into that process.

We’re an absolute mess thanks to Kenwright, Moshiri and Usmanov.

There was a typo in the scouts report and we’ve bid £15M for Adam Che.

Naturally.

Going off minutes but point remains he may be crap, but we’ve made him considerably more crap. Why?
