Summer transfer window 2023

[MACCA75]

We are a bit light in numbers in midfield tbh. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a loan move for Dendoncker.

It’s scary how long ago we brought in Sidibe and Martina to replace Coleman, and he’s still our best right back.

Personally always thought we should've bought Sidibe. He cost less than Patterson (higher wages) and we would've had 2 premiership level players. He was a bit of a mad-head like but got 4 assists in a season.

But brands felt Kenny and Holgate would save us money lol

Regardless... we've only ever spent decent money on Digne in terms of fullbacks for over 10 years +

You can't just terminate a contract. The player needs to agree and why would they do that? It's them giving up millions.

Think he means in agreement with the players. You pay them 60-70% (I've completely made them figures up as an example) and you tell them they're free to find a new club.

You are indeed correct that the player has to agree, but it's a great offer for a player. Gomes, for example, could get say, an amount equivelant to 50k p/w off us, and then negotiate a new contract elsewhere and probably bag himself a few hundred grand from a signing on fee. He would probably also get a 2-3 year contract which is no doubt important, if a player actually wants to earn as much as they possibly can,

Granted though, some players do seem to care just as little about money as they do about football once they get to a certain level of wealth. Every single player who has not fulfilled their potential through lack of effort or discipline has basically cost themselves vast amounts of money, yet we still see them fall by the wayside all too often.

I think we'll see 2, maybe 3 if Iwobi goes. A winger, an attacking midfielder and a defender.
We also need a CDM, a 2 new full backs but that ain't gonna happen.

2 more wingers would be ridiculously overkill IMO

I think he means 2 signings.
A winger and a cb. He just hasn’t used any kind of punctuation.

we need this

 

[Rich1878]

Doesn't honestly make a big difference since he will be a free agent next summer

Well, it does because if we can any fee for him, then its better than letting him leave for nothing

Gone to Motherwell on loan.

I don't think we are capable of targeting, approaching, negotiating, finalising deals for 3 players with 1.5 days left. We just aren't that efficient
Would love to be wrong mind

Can’t see it being that much

£24m for Iwobi would be amazing! Hopefully we would be able to sign a winger who can run and cross?

He is absolutely Schneiderlin

It all depends what you do with the money...not convinced that bidding perhaps 30 millions for sulemana, player unproven really in the premier league means that we will improve and be better for it.
