He'd have nowhere to hide if we actually signed 2 or 3 decent players If we sign Souttar he'll have been backed with close to 60m in the past two windows. He's got nowhere to hide.

OntarioFox Posted 26 January 2023 Share Posted 26 January 2023 32 minutes ago, ALC Fox said: I'm weirdly optimistic about this one. It's a relatively complex deal but according to the reports, we're keen on the player, Lyon aren't too fussed about letting him go and the player wants to come. I think things will start heating up as we approach the deadline and those involved start pulling late-nighters to get things done. Can you run up to Seagrave for us and make sure their fax machine has a connection this time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 26 January 2023 Share Posted 26 January 2023 Ekambi has left Lyon to join Rennes. They are either confident in keeping Tete or shipping out anyone who plays wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is being backed - we aren't in a financial position to spend more than we make every season. We've made money from a sale and the majority of it has gone straight back into the first team. The net spend argument doesn't count. He's been given money to spend, over 300m since he joined the club and we are worse off than when he joined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are right at the bottom of the net spend league and are very able to increase our wage ffp structure with room to spare. The problem is the lack of investment from the owners of which all other PL teams are spending more on investment in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the dumb question but is the situation at the minute that Faivre goes to Lyon then we bid for Tete? Donetsk player wise isn't an issue so is it just cash to them with player withdrawal and then transfer? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can someone present an argument that Rodgers hasn’t been backed, and say the net spend doesn’t count?????? So are we just to pretend that didn’t happen?

He has been backed but right in the beginning 3+ years ago and I've no qualms with agreeing that one, but it's what has happened since then that grates me with Rodgers longevity and the obvious refusal to back him. If they didn't want to back him then get rid and get someone in that they would back him. They haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s clear there’s been a breakdown somewhere in the club between Rodgers and the backroom staff. But the question is why is he still here? Surely the club would put themselves into a position where they can’t remove Brendan without significant financial losses…… any other manager at any other club would have been axed ages ago. Or, they they all genuinely believe that no one else can do the job? To some degree I don’t blame them not giving him funding…. His transfer record is hideous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faivre is at Lyon already and being told he can leave, he's a left footed right winger who we've been linked with in thr past and I'd be very keen on him worst case scenario. They are apparently getting Thauvin who will be an impact player at his age from the bench I'd suspect. I hope they are still open to Tete going, they either want him permanently or they don't and if they don't but would ordinarily keep him until the summer then I suspect being compensated and replacing him with Thauvin will be sufficient. Whatever, it needs to be sorted in the next day or so otherwise we move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 26 January 2023 Share Posted 26 January 2023 Sees Tete topic is hot. Gets excited only to find its people talking about Rodgers and net spend. I may have started this though with my earlier Rodgers comment, so I apologise to anyone who came here hoping for news 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
