Summer transfer window 2023

[ToffeeTim]

He (Caicedo) is only 21 and is an outstanding player. He could be in the heart of the RS midfield for 10 years. It could turn out to be a bargain signing. Further, he will have a big market value in 3 years as long as he keeps fit and maintains his standards. Football transfers are going up like everything else in the world. Villa is selling Ramsey to Burnley (a newly promoted team) for 14m + a buyback. That seems mad money for a kid that has never played one minute of PL or any top flight football. Bournemouth just paid 25m for 19 year old Alex Scott from Bristol. If these players can command this type of transfer fee then 100m for a proven quality player doesn't seem too ridiculous

A £111m bargain?

What???

 

[Tim's tourettes]

If Gnoto comes in soon, plus Sulemana if Gray goes then Che Everton Adams in for Maupay out isn't too hard to swallow

 

[matty1878]

No player who doesn't score goals should ever be worth £111m imo

 

[matty1878]

i’ve not read it but wtf lol

Anyone else think we're going to end up signing Amad Diallo on transfer deadline day?

'Boadu kan doorstart maken in Italië: huur met optie tot koop op tafel'

Myron Boadu verhuist mogelijk van de Ligue 1 naar de Serie A. Salernitana onderzoekt de mogelijkheden om de Nederlandse spits over te nemen van AS Monaco, klinkt het vanuit Italië.

not really related to us, but this Italian side of Dia are looking to bring in a Dutch striker.
even if Dia is a no go to us, that probably also ends their interest in our Neil

Is there a reason anyone would think we are signing him? Has he been linked?

 

[Baggzio]

it's as bad a deal as McAllister was a good deal.

I don't care how good Brighton were last season, paying £150m for 2 of their midfielders is insane business. Looking at it this way, £75.5m for Caicedo is a lot but he'll probably be alright, £75.5m for MacAllister is a mad price though even how good he is. Think yer man is right, they've absolutely had their pants pulled down, even after they got their Saudi blood money in clearly dodgy deals from Gerrard.

In a world where Caicedo is £111m Onana is at least £70m, if not £80m easily.

Might be $500mil not including player sales.

I wonder what the net is since Moshiri came in...cant be too high.

Tuson 27m
Walcott 20m
Siggy 45m
Bolasie 27m
Morgan 20m ( sold for 2m)
Williams 11m
Sandro 5m
Mina 27m

And looks like
Doucs 20m
Iwobi 30m
Gbamin 20m
Gomes 20m

These have either left or will look like they’re leaving on a free.

That’s 272m with 2m recouped in fees.

I’m sure I’ve missed some out as well.

That’s turkey shocking and only Man U are even in the same ball park with how bad their recruitment has been

That’s not even taking into account the sackings or payouts of

Lampard
Rafael
Koeman
Silva
Carlo
Bobby

Which wouldn’t be far off 80m imo

 

[Tel001]

The quantity of £20m+ signings who either have or will leave us on a free is obscene… and that’s mostly down to the insane wages we’ve given them meaning either no one wants them or they players aren’t willing to take a pay cut to leave.

The new strategy (or what seems to be the new strategy) of spending money on young players on manageable wages is just so much better. Even if you spend a decent wedge on a transfer fee, you’re vastly less likely to take an absolute bath if the signing doesn’t work out.

Look at Moise Kean - bit of a disaster of a signing in a football sense, yet we still either broke even or made a small profit.

Same with lookman and Vlasic …

When you sign players for 10-20m and they’re young , you can’t really lose unless you have a gbamin …. It’s the way we should have been operating for years.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Chermiti will be a big signing for us in terms of negotiating now I think for the rest of the window. Instead of being held to ransom we'll be able to act stronger knowing that we can say "we'll just be giving Chermiti the game time instead", compared to when we were clearly desperate playing without a striker. Ekitike and Gnonto in next along with Chermiti and Danjuma legitimately transforms this side. We were fairly comfortably mid table last year in terms of defending and the midfield, our attack was Championship quality though. This could be a massive few weeks not just in terms of our season but the future of the club too, if we can get some stability under Dyche going into the new stadium then it'll be massive.

The aim should of course be survival this season but I think top half or top 12 should be where Dyche should be pushing us to hit, regardless of where we finish survival is success so it's not make or break but it would be nice to see us try to push on a bit.

Let’s hope so mate

Do u not think he is an outstanding player? What exactly have I said that makes u say that?
