ronnup Posted 28 August Share Posted 28 August 51 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: We are likely to need to flip some players for a big profit again. This is going to be one of the biggest net spends in a transfer window for many a year whilst we're still trying to navigate financial restraints. Looking through our squad it's not blessed with obvious assets that we'd see £20-40m + profits on. That's why I chunter on and on and on about our game plan. Cant wait to sell Fatawu and Stephi .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Fox Posted 28 August Share Posted 28 August 1 hour ago, fox_favourite said: We'll have to accept that he'll use us as a stepping stone. I bet he'll hope that he can impress in a better league to get a bigger move. We win as we have a chance ro stay up with a better player, if he does impress his value goes up and we can make a quick profit. His attitude to join us doesn't scream loyalty, and very Fofana like. But as a business, who cares. If he performs on the pitch which is good enough to stay up and stabilise us, I really don't mind. We need a player like this, so it's a win all round. Just don't expect him to be staying for a long period, especially if we go down. What we don't want is for him to be a bad apple. Time will tell, but it might be a risk worth taking Yeah your right, I’ve gone from being absolutely peed off with us not keeping our best players and having to sell to Chelsea for mega money to thinking well let’s hope this guy comes good so we can make some money.

Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 28 August Popular Post Share Posted 28 August This is exactly the type of signing we need to make to get back to the our successful model. If we want to be successful and get back to being a progressive club then we have to accept that buying players with a high ceiling but accepting that in within 2/3 seasons we are likely to move them on for a significant profit and then rinse and repeat. We are starting to rebuild a portfolio of assets that can potentially be sold on in the future for significant profit, we have Mads, Abdul, Stephy, hopefully Okoli can become one and we can add a couple more before the end of the window alongside our academy prospects such as Nelson, Alves, Braybrooke, Popov and Richards etc Our recovery is going to take time but the more we see academy prospects progressing and the signing of young, hungry players then the more likely we will see us start to move back to the club we were 6/7 years ago. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
