Summer transfer window 2023

[GoldenToffee]

Does he play for AFCON team? If so, he will be away on AFCON duty and we have a few missing already when AFCON kicks off, something to consider

It's ok, we have DCL who will definitely be fully fit and banging goals in left, right and centre.

 

[Papa Shango]

If we had €40m to spend on one striker then we should not be doing that and signing 2-3 forwards instead.

Or even better sign him for 8m 12 months ago.

We never seem to jump in at the right time with these kind of players. Same with Onana, could have got him from Hamburg for around 12m, a year later we pay 35m for him.

He plays for Mali who have qualified for AFCON so yeah he'll be going.

Very much something to consider.

 

[Lob]

The 40 million bid is probably just BS anyway. We get linked with these kind of bids every single window. Cannot see Dyche wanting to gamble that sort of money on someone. Need to be spending what little we have very wisely this season to avoid another relegation battle. We don't have the luxury of nurturing this season.

 

[Bez2k2k]

We shouldn't be spending 40m on anyone this summer. We need multiple forwards and I don't see any players we can attract for 40m that will be value in the market.

40 M, 5 year deal, young striker. All over this me.

Yes, Mali have qualified.

Sacha is a pretty good source mate, so I would say there is probably something in it.

 

[Zezti]

40m is pretty big money for one so young and short of games. That better not be all the pot. If we're confident he can hit the ground running then sure, but I'd still like to see 1 or even 2 more lower risk types to come in too like those championship strikers we've been linked with.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

But then come end of the season the loanee returns and Rodrigo will be like a million and you still then need to go out and buy forwards and maybe even to replace the possible flop €40m Traore.

That’s a possibility of course but then you also have the equal possibility he’s a hit, scores a a good number of goals and goes for double what we paid (not unrealistic), allowing us to buy 3 x 25m forwards. It’s all pure conjecture really.

We ruin everybody though.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Know nothing about this lad but if he’s injury prone, combined with our luck, then we should be swerving it. Especially at the price.

 

[Papa Shango]

That’s how I read it as well. The total package is €40m.

4.3m a year is €21.5m. So the fee is €18.5m.

So roughly the equivalent of signing 1 Maupay.

1 is enough.

It is but if we ever want to be run well we need to actually learn the value of money.

Sascha was the one all over the Onana deal last summer wasn’t he? Also appears to have mentioned Collins/Brentford early as well.

Have to admit hard to believe we’d be paying that money for any player though
