The structure of the deal will determine if we buy players or not.
We won't be lashing big money on a player unless the deal is spread out over a long period of time.
Small fee initially and top up every year then.

Like the onana deal,

I'll hold my hands up and say I've never seen El Bilal Toure play a game of football... but his youtube videos are... underwhelming

It will be difficult to assess what puts players off coming here: our status, boardroom chaos or manager's approach to the job and style of play. But even Dyche admirers must admit that he is not the best man to sell a prospective player a vision of where we are going as a club

Depends where you think we're going.....

We have to get creative with contracts and that doesn't have to mean mega wages. As it stands today we're a premier league club but a stepping stone. We can de-risk transfers for players by including releasing clauses eg if a top 4 team comes in you can leave for X. Euro places X+1. We should be including relegation clauses for all.

Have we signed any players yet ? LOL.

I’m sceptical about any player we spend £30m+ on. I’d rather we stopped buying players for that amount to be honest.

Interesting!

Cant be true - I thought Big Kev didnt do bits ?

I thought he sits at home playing Nintendo 64 all day with his phone turned off ?

Maybe the bedwetters should stop soiling themselves every 5 seconds and wait and see what business is done during the window.

If that's his release clause, even less chance it's true, we can't lash €40m up front at the stadium let alone a player.

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

Was looked at before he moved to them aswell ao if he comes has been a long term target for the club. https://laligaanalysis.com/analysis...-2022-23-data-stats-analysis-scout-report/amp.

He’s fast, I’ll give him that.

But he does not look like a good footballer

Exactly the same on both fronts!
His first touch dosent look exactly like he knows how to hold the ball up! Its always cannoning off somewhere, which he then just legs it after!

Or it is 13 Mitoma's.

He'd be a wonderful addition

That's exactly where I think we are. I'd like to think that slightly sad tale could be spun to look like a team with a plan to climb the table over the next three seasons. My fear is that survival becomes an end in itself and our stepping stone status is permanent. This needs, in my opinion, a little more than your sensible approach to transfers....essential for now, I agree....it needs some inspiration. My question is: where is that coming from?
