wardyfox86 Posted 18 May 2023 Share Posted 18 May 2023 With so many of ours leaving for free, it's inevitable that we'll pick up some freebies ourselves. It'll be slim pickings for us and the names won't be too fanciful, I fear. But if be looking at: Nelson (will definitely have better offers) Lerma (may be able to attract him) Milivojevic (same) Denayer (been linked before) Kent (crap, but we need wingers) Lanzini (hasn't been great for a while, and probably going back the Argentina) It's grim... 48 minutes ago, Sly said: Out of Contract players this summer It’s a shame we’re going down, as Jonathan Bamba might have been an interesting player. I now look forward to the inevitable arrival of Redmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 18 May 2023 Share Posted 18 May 2023 We won’t be signing anyone who’s playing regularly in a top league - I don’t think people understand how damaging that would be to the wage structure which we’ll already be struggling with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 18 May 2023 Share Posted 18 May 2023 The only good thing I can think of of being relegated is, we'll be first in the queue for the likes of Omari Hutchinson, Carlos Borges, Bashir Humphreys, Kobi Mainoo etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc sheff Posted 18 May 2023 Share Posted 18 May 2023 Ever since @Ric Flair mentioned him I can’t stop thinking about getting Miles Leaburn upfront. Would be a long time since we’ve had a target man and he can play as well. Feels like an Ivan Toney kinda signing. If Percy is right we’ll be targeting players like that hopefully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Percy is right we’ll be targeting players like that hopefully I hear ya pal, this is the sort of signing I hope we go for. He'd cost £5m up front and wages wise, we could quadruple his salary and still be on less than £30k a week I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley - Barnes & Rodriguez Sheff Utd - McBurnie Luton - Morris Coventry - Gyokeres Boro - Akpom Sunderland - Stewart, also had Simms on loan for a bit Shame Ross Stewart’s season got cut short by injury, signing him would be a bit of a gamble, but he’s out of contract and yet to sign a new one, prior to his injury he’d scored 10 in 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 18 May 2023 Share Posted 18 May 2023 One positive of getting relegated will be most of the fringe players we have been struggling to shift, may well have an incentive and become more affordable on the back of a 35-50% wage reduction. All of a sudden players such as Vestergard, Praet etc may well be able to negotiate a salary of £50-60k and be better off than their potential revised championship wage. Part of our issue over the last 18-24 months has been shifting deadwood due to high salaries, with relegation this issue changes overnight.

Im certainly a little worried that we do go for a few ex prem players that are clearly on the way down. Wouldnt surprise me at all if we went for Phil Jones or Tuanzebe now that man U arent renewing. I think ryan kent wouldnt be a too bad signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany used his contacts in Belgium for a lot of his signings and he's proven you don't need to buy English based players to succeed in the Championship. Some bargains to be had, similar to how we signed Mahrez and Knockaert. ...we have known that for some time, our club, or rather DoF chooses not to cast its net too wide!!!
