lgfualol Posted 28 June 2021 Share Posted 28 June 2021 May as well keep Ghezzers if we're skint after Dakkers and Soumarers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a club would want a fee for a first teamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the money isn't there then why were we bidding £20m for Gosens. We'd already got Soumare in the bag by then and a striker was always a priority and wouldn't be a loan so we are committing to buying our main targets.

Or we sell more players. We're possibly more likely to sell more players than anything else. Last summer was quite the anomaly - important to realise that over the last 2 years we've cut the wage bill a lot and there's little to no deadwood anymore. We were still paying slimani and silva 8m last year, and fuchs, gray and Morgan about 9m so there's been some savings. We'll see, 30m might be the correct ish figure, but I think we'll see 5 or so players in and possibly 2-3 further outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't see it these days and it might be something to do with rule changes but are you allowed to loan players with an instant recall? Some players such as Ward would benefit from playing first team football but then not leaving us short should Kasper get injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will get some millions in Choudury got to be worth £15m sold Schlupp for £12million. Praet got to be worth £18mill plus. Ward £20million. Ghesell £8million 40-50 million to reinvest plus Morgan,Fuchs,Slimani ,Gray James,King all off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, if we loaned him out we wouldn't be able to get him back until January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 28 June 2021 Share Posted 28 June 2021 I wonder if clubs seriously think they'll be allowed max capacity attendances for all of the 2021/22 season. Its easy to forget that probably won't happen given the government's appetite for risk is non existent. More cash woes I assume, although Villa don't seem to care.

Top and BR discussed this when he re-signed his contract about having a good quality influx of 4/5 players both to progress and to replace the players out of the door. With Soumare and Daka in the bag that leaves a minimum of 2 players, a CB and RW (CB essential for me). I don't beleive Loaning players is the right way to go unless it's for players like Trincao. Realistically and with ffp I think (with sales) we need to be looking at £40-50mil to spend in these areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s no different to anyone on here speculating about xyz, he hasn’t got a scooby. Idk what our budget will be but Brendan deserves backing properly in at least one transfer window, if not then he should be angling for a move soon enough. 30m with the seeming committed spending we already have and what we need isn’t backing him at all.

Agree with this, what he's done thus far on a net spend of £9m is nothing short of remarkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous if true. Very jealous of the USA being 70% vaccinated and are therefore living back to normal now. Clubs, crowds, whatever. It's time for us.
