Christ, Tom Krauss actually rejected us to sign for Mainz lol we have zero pull even for a PL team.

It’s all over German media we went for him and he turned us down.
Yeah prob wanted to stay in germany just hope that if the club have looked at him that looks like it will have other players on the list. Is a good sign that they seem to be looking in other leagues.
 
Based on age / scoring record / likely price Piroe probably looks better value than Gyokeres? But you'd probably want him to be one of two CF signings as going with just him and DCL would be risky.
Agreed, another article quoted a price of £12m, which is a small fee in todays market. also supposed to be interest from; Forrest, Leicester and Southampton. so we might have to move quickly but you would have thought we would be preferable to him than those sides.


 
Does seem odd, but selling Grealish for £100m probably kept them in the black. West Ham will probably be okay the next few years for the same reason, selling Rice to one of the big boys.
Sad state of affairs when clubs have to sell their best players every year to the big boys for FFP reasons. The gap just keeps getting wider.
Unfortunately when we have had sold assets we have completely wasted the money.
 
Villa spending 55mil on CB. Taking their debt on spending in 7yrs to double of Everton’s. Yes we’ve paid higher wages and more to managers and sacking them, but they spent 3 of those 7 yrs in the championship, which probably lost them 150/200 mil in TV and sponsorship money.

Makes no sense to me how we can’t spend a penny and they can carry on spending fortunes

Their net spend is worse than ours since Moshiri arrived.

12m seems reasonable for a guy with his age and record, and he'd surely choose PL over a Championship to Championship move. If we could get a more mobile player in too, like Ndiaye or whoever, then it starts to give you a range of options for 1 or 2 up front.

Leicester have already bid for him apparently
 
I'm still relatively enthusiastic.... somehow. Come the 1st of July, the wheels will start rolling on some moves, although we may have to wait until the end of the U21 Euros for a few transfers - e.g. Gnonto, Summerville etc.
 
Its being reported that lille want Gomes back, but dont want to buy him. When he went there last year he was lille's top paid player and that was with us paying half his wages! Good Grief! He is on £112K a week. I cant see anyone buying him and hes in his final year. I think Lille will probably get their way and sign him on loan again, paying half his wages.

Another disappointment that we didn't sign another player who we have no proof the club even watched never mind showed an interest in. Love the silly season.
 
What about Piroe from Swansea, can shoot.

Like the look of this fella.

Coventry could well be asking for too much for Gyokores, also, he reportedly wants Sporting over us. I get they have Europa League, but to me that could well be a player who is too comfortable being a big fish in a small pond.
