January Transfer Window 2023

[hktoffee]

Its something that hasn't been mentioned mate, but there is a fair bit after coming into the club in terms of revenue and will come - it will probably return us to profitability this year for the first time since Moshiri came in as a minority stake holder;

Richarlsion: 50 mill rising to 60.
Young Flash: 40 -rising to 45
Nathan Broadhead: reported 7 figure fee
Sebasten Quirk: Undisclosed
Moise Kean: 23 million in this financial year.

There is money there to my mind.

Kean will be £24m and that does not include the loan fees we received from his current club and PSG.

 

[hktoffee]

Arnautović, Gyökeres, Sulemana and Ziyech.

The defence is ok. We need players up front to score. We cannot rely on Calvert-Lewin any longer.

Will cost around £67.5m. Kean’s fee should cover the rest.

Deals of Sulemana and Ziyech can be loan with obligation if we stay up.

I think Dyche may use Keane instead of Coady.

Pickford

Patterson Keane Tarkowski Godfrey

Ziyech Gana Onana Sulemana

Gyökeres Arnautović

I made it £23 but happy to be corrected mate. Yep, id say the loan fees are well spent mate, but they count toward our profitability and revenue undoubtedly.

The weird way accounting for transfers works, is fees incoming are treated as revenue so immediately hit the balance sheet, so we are over 100 mill better off then this time last year. Where it could work in our favour in our current financial position is you can sign someone tomorrow, for 25 mill on a five year deal and it only accounts for 5 mill per accounting year on a five year deal + wages mind. For illustrive purposes you can sell Gordon for 45 mill and have 45 mill on this years accounts in revenue of your bottom line, buy a 25 mill player and only have 5 mill + wages on this years accounts.

When you accumulate all the deals i mention - we've brought in an awful lot of revenue.

I tend to look at height too. I know he wont be played as a target man. But 5'4" in the PL. Maybe it's a bit of bias on my part, but I think you need players who are capable of all kinds of challenges.

Just for context, Maradona was 5’5” and messi is 5’7”

 

[NathDogg]

Don't get prissy mate, keep it civil. We are not signing Antonio ffs. What is the point in signing young players for a relegation battle. Keep it real.

Did I say “young” players - I said younger players. Comprehension a difficult subject for you?

Stop talking bullocks and it will stay civil.

 

[hktoffee]

Just for context, Maradona was 5’5” and messi is 5’7”

And Kante is 5 ft 5 but the point is how many of them actually are small but can be a huge success out there. Very rare.

 

[bluematty84]

The combination of Dyche and the situation we are in might mean the end of any progressive signings that we would like to make unfortunately. At least until we are out of this mess anyway.

 

[jonnyboy316]

If that happens and I pray it doesn't, then we've learnt nothing, someone needs to tell our owners/ Chaiman/ Board/ Recruiment team/ Scouts that WE can actually look outside the premier league for new players. It's just laughable, insane.

It is hard yards trying to sell this club to players. They are looking at this as simple low hanging fruit to avoid difficult negotiations with better profile players. As poor a position as we are in the other leagues are essentially feeder leagues for the PL at this stage. There must be player out their we can sign better than Ryan Fraser

Oh agreed, but judge a player by his ability not his height

 

[maccavennie]

We need goals
We need creativity

Ryan Fraser does not offer enough of either of the above so for that VERY CLEAR AND BLATANT REASON, I don't think we should be looking at him.

But hey, what do I know compared to a soon to be new manager on a few million a year and a DoF on a fee million a year.

 

[hktoffee]

That’s why the one you name cannot be classed as the same level as Fraser. Massive gap.

Cast off, old grocks and dregs the best we can aspire to Macc, according to some knowledgable superbloos on here.

We shouldn’t be shopping in the same market as footballing luminary’s like Bournemouth, Forest or Southampton.

Which is where the comparisons end, unfortunately.

 

[Dave dawson]

Wander how many will sign only to spend the rest of the season on the bench, we did it last season with a certain Villa reject no doubt we will be repeating it again we seem to be very good at signing other team's rejects to come and watch us

 

[Tony101]

Honestly when you look at our squad and the system (4-4-2) which is most likely to be used, I don't think they will be spending huge on many positions.

XI

GK - Pickford/Begovic
RB - Patterson/Coleman
CB - Coady/Tarkowski/Mina/Godfrey/Keane/Holgate
LB- Mykolenko/Vingare
RW - Iwobi/Townsend
DM - Onana/Garner
CM - Doucoure/Gueye/Davies
LW - Gray/McNeil
CF - Dominic Calvert-Lewin/Maupay/Simms

We need a striker and right winger

Iwobi is a terrible winger. We desperately need a new center forward and Right winger. I would like a LB and a Central midfielder who has some kind of passing range and creativity.
