Summer transfer window 2023

[ToffeeTim]

I admire your confidence but we can't win games with the current defence.

Forwards should be the only priority now and should have been the only priority last year too.

Until we get those players, no budget should be spent on other positions.

Gray and Onana out for £50m combined.

Come September, from that £120m received for those two, Gordon and Kean, we'll likely have spent £30m of it and be dead certs for relegation.

We’d get more than 50m for gray and onnana …. Onanna would go for. 50m on his own and I do t even rate him that highly … any less and it wouldn’t be worth selling

 

[Tel001]

Be a good move for him that.

They have just came up … they will need and have money for signings … 15m and let him leave … no more loans , especially at the start of the window

It's his wages mate. He's on a very big wage apparently, certainly not the kind Sheffield Utd would want to be paying

Highlighting how poorly run we are. How has he earned the sort of wages that puts other teams off signing him? Insane.

I understand that but our current first choice back four appears to be Coleman Godfrey Keane Mykolenko. Know what I mean?

I listed to the Results Business Podcast yesterday (Esk and Rodger Armstrong). Esk did not speculate on the split of the pie but Andy Bells bridging loan of £40m comes out of this I think, with a small portion going towards working capital/transfer expenditure.

One thing I didn't get from the Podcast was how it helps us buy players. Yes it comes to the club, but if it comes in as a loan then it doesn't help our profit and loss line which is the hurdle we have to overcome before we buy again. I don't think we short of cash necessarily... we short of income.

Tarkowski..?

 

[Aberblue]

I'm really only interested in forwards and goalscorers. We can win games with the current defence and midfield but we can't win games if we can't score.

We can't win games with our current defence. Remember, we have lost Coady and Mina, so we would have to play either Holgate or Keane, which would mean conceding about two goals in every game. That's before we begin to look at our options at full back.

Obviously we need at least two forwards as well.

Tarkowski is definitely in our first choice back 4

I'd give Branthwaite a go before playing Holgate or Keane but we deffo need another CB

We won some games last year without those defenders. Not a huge amount, but it can be done.

I'm not saying don't sign a centre half. I'm saying don't prioritise a defender until we sign the 2 strikers we need. 2 good strikers transforms this side, I absolutely don't agree that a centre half makes the same impact.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

...first one in soon. I think we'll see big links in the next few days and a deal sewn up in the next week.

ITK

I look forward to signing another failed PL player. Not even failed at a big team like we used to get from United. They’ve failed at someone proper crap like. Glorious.

Unfortunately a lot of our fans turn there nose up at players sold by United etc, as if they are somehow rejects.

Pretty much any United swayed player would walk straight into our team.

I remember the uproar on here when someone dared link us to Tripper, he was supposedly, a reject and a failure.

Hope to god Keane doesn't survive another window.
