Summer transfer window 2023

[get-your-coat-on]

Do NOT go for Raul Sanhelli, the guy is a crook and a Fraud.

Got sacked by us because of the Pepe deal, with later findings coming out about him swindeling money from it personally.

He's SO shady, not a guy to put in charge of you're rebuild.

We need him to complete the un-Holy Trinity alongside Kia and Moshiri.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I mean Gibson, Cleverley, Beekster, Rooney, Schneiderlin et al will influence your opinion a bit tbf

Yeah but Howard, Garner, Neville and Saha were decent enough

Side note - we’ve signed a lot of ex United players!

 

[WinifredE]

Disagree with loaning him out, doesn’t help us a huge amount financially and there definitely won’t be any obligation to buy unless it’s an “if we stay up clause”, which could potentially be at our expense.

They’ll have money after being promoted, make them pay.

But this implies he's worth actual money and anyone who's watched him play the last 4 years knows he's worth nothing. If a loan means he's gone then I'm fine with it. We can't have a bloated squad full of players who when they come on everyone clenches, as they are a red card or own goal waiting to happen

 

[Tony’s Carp]

He's a calamity, Sheff U is up where he's from, takes his wages off our books if we could insert an option to buy it's good business all round.

Option to buy is only really good business for the loaning club. If they do well you lose out like we did with Nkounkou, if they’re bad you get them back. Don’t bother with the option unless they absolutely insist, if he does well they’ll try to keep him anyway.

Mental isn't it mate but then it shows you why we are in the position we are in. We've paid mediocre players kings ransoms

Big fees and big wages for players who have been on loan or on the bench for years and we have not even missed them even though we have been utter rubbish during that time. It's been our biggest downfall.

We can not afford to keep paying 30m and 100k a week on squad men (at best).

The Mykolenko deal still annoys me. We have basically paid 20m and loads in wages on a player who gives us the same result as a promoted youth player. I dont even see him as laughably bad or anything, just a complete non entity filling a shirt. These are roles we should be filling on the cheap.

Gibson was quality when available.

Just not available much...

 

[Tel001]

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

Well we don’t want to pay him either . He won’t be on big wages for a prem player …

If they want to stay in the league they are going to have to increase their wages .

Maybe 10m fee now and another 5-10m if they stay up could be done .

Or 7m loan fee with obligation to pay another 10m if they stay up ?

 

[sandybrownsbighead]

Garner at RB is flavour of the month, you have also ignored Tarks and we have Jarrod back.

When I panic it's pretty full on....

 

[Tel001]

They wont be taking up the option to buy once they see how bad he is. Thats the problem with these loans.

Obligation to buy if they stay up maybe ?

Whilst I agree he’s rubbish, we’ve already lost 2 centre backs and if we don’t sell him, we’re just a man lighter at CB without the funds to adequately replace him. It’d leave us with Tarky (obvious first choice), Keane, Branthwaite and Godfrey. One is a fairly unproven youth, Godfrey isn’t really CB and Dyche doesn’t view him as such, and Keane is Keane.

We’d need to replace him basically and a loan might not enable us to do that.

Holgate is reportedly on >£60k per week, so about or slightly over average for a PL footballer.

Bill , mosh , Kia and the new “ head of football”

The four horsemen

We need a CB anyway, Holgate is never starting as one under Dyche so best to move his wages.

Yeah well we are going to have to get creative … if they want him then they will have to pay.

You can’t go into negotiations already agreeing with the opposing party .

Start high and go from there.

5-7m loan with them paying his wages and a 10m obligation to buy if they stay up .

Myko is such a weird signing. Like, he’s not the worst player I’ve ever seen but if you’re scouting the whole of Europe what’s makes you stop at him? Normally even if a player has flaws they have one or two standout characteristics whether it’s pace or strength or a gifted left foot. He’s just a nothing player and I just don’t understand what’s caught the eye.
