Leeds are selling Summerville to WHU Looking at Sara as a replacement C'mon City FFS, this is such an obvious one. Just get it done you tw@ts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just let it go. We've likely already decided Mcateer is our KDH replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybradger Posted 1 August Share Posted 1 August If Leeds get him that would be shocking. He is exactly what we need and he would clearly prefer to make the step up to the PL rather than another team in the championship. If he goes there it would mean that we arent even looking at him seriously as a target which would be very worrying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, unless they got a stupid bid, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man it'd be much better to sign for a Championship club than one that might get a points deduction that could possibly lead them to get relegated to, *checks notes*, the Championship. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all players who want to be top 10 contenders will not come to us because of the potential points deduction and a likely relegation battle that ends in relegation. In Saras' case he could come here and in 1 year back in the EFL or go to leeds and be in the EPL in one year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Eaton Fox Posted 1 August Share Posted 1 August I think we are only 2 players away from having a competitive team that could stay up. A left sided KDH replacement and an attacking centre midfielder. Both would need to bring goals with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they've lost summerville they could easily do another 5 years in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Eaton Fox Posted 1 August Share Posted 1 August In the Reiss Nelson case, he could come here on less pay and get relegated, or stay at arsenal play a handful of games and win some silverwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be impossible to rule out that things like our supposed record points deduction didn’t play a part in that. Or the fact we couldn’t offer the level of football Roma will be playing at this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll struggle to stay up without signing another striker, Daka, Cannon and a 38 year old Vardy will probably struggle to score 15 goals between them over 38 PL games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be this guy.. but I’m sure some of them are.. I agree with this to be fair. Who wants to sign on a long term contract for a team that might be about to be relegated before the season starts? (And possibly be punished again in the Championship.) Due to PSR, long contracts are almost mandatory. That means picking a well run cohesive club is important. Any player with potential won't want to be held back by the club screwing around. And we've been screwing around for years. I think we need to accept that, of the prem teams, we are the 20th most desirable. As much as it hurts to say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I wish people would stop talking about us like this club no one wants to play for and saying we are skint. Neither of which are true. A year in the Premier League is massive exposure for a player. They'll all be getting release clauses if we go down. Those two factors mean more to the vast majority of players than signing for any Championship club. Not to mention things like wages and our infrastructure being much better than any championship team. It feels like it's just much easier to say everything's doomed. I guarantee the same people saying all this are the ones who said we wouldn't go up and probably get double relegation last summer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need to look at Hamer still moving to Sheff Utd when they were also absolutely in shit at the time (no points deduction but still having to sell off all of their best players) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
