Will be interesting to see the value of players we go for. I like the idea of targeting young players, play them and develop them for a few years then hopefully sell on for big profits. But will we be looking at £5-£10M 18-21yr olds or £10-£20M ones. more of a gamble on someone’s ability at cheaper end. Dortmund go to the other end and buy high value youngsters and sell for £50M+ Sancho, Haaland shortly etc

Hopefully the purchase includes either settlement of the loan or money aside to pay off the loan as and when due.

A source that claimed to know the amount of the deal and when it will be done but nothing about those who were buying the club. Always was going to be an attention seeking post.

Someone just photoshopped our badge over another brand instead.

Interesting they know the price being paid but not a thing about the person/persons involved 🤔

Top 15 richest owners in the NFL 1. David Tepper, Panthers: $14.5 billion (142nd-richest person in the world) 2. Jerry Jones, Cowboys: $8.9 billion 3. Stan Kroenke, Rams: $8.2 billion 4. Shahid Khan, Jaguars: $8 billion 5. Stephen Ross, Dolphins: $7 billion 6. Robert Kraft, Patriots: $6.9 billion 7. Arthur Blank, Falcons: $6.2 billion 8. Terry Pegula, Bills: $5.4 billion 9. Stephen Bisciotti, Ravens: $4.9 billion 10. Janice McNair, Texans: $4.1 billion 11. Denise York, 49ers: $3.5 billion 12. Gayle Benson, Saints: $3.4 billion T-13. Jimmy Haslam, Browns: $3 billion T-13. Jim Irsay, Colts: $3 billion T-13. Jeffrey Lurie, Eagles: $3 billion

He’s DOF at Brentford though?!

Get Heaton for a month then go get Johnstone in January window

Emergency loan keeper time?

Bit of a non story imo, nothing new in there. Also if he knows there are 2 interested parties why not go into detail of them? I suspect it’s cos he doesn’t know who they are but then how does he know there are 2 parties?!

What about Kabak? Available for under £10M

I’d like to think we will also start moving on a bid for his replacement. Wonder who we will be linked with….

It goes against other reports but Alan Nixon is reporting that it’s effectively £15M plus Obafemi and if Obafemi doesn’t decide to join Rovers then we have to pay more than £15M for Armstrong. Seems unlikely tbh as fee has been agreed but he’s normally pretty accurate I thought ??

“Southampton remain confident of adding two forwards to the squad, one of whom could be another cheap deal for an academy player from a top side — similar to full-back Tino Livramento’s recent transfer from Chelsea.” So what promising forwards do the big clubs have that we might look to??

But the part everyone is missing off this quote is after listing those he says “but yeah we know we need someone else”.

Why £24M. Liverpool get 20% of the profit so £2M not £6M

Could Ings money fund Delaney, Armstrong and Edouard? I’d be happy with that if we did.

£5M and a 5yr contract is what I’ve heard. Imagine a sell on % included too

Looks like we are having a clear out of the younger players we feel aren’t upto the level we need rather than holding on and loaning out.

The top line numbers were announced though weren’t they? I would imagine anyone looking to buy would have seen the latest set of management accounts which would be more upto date that then submitted statutory accounts filed at companies house.

Not the best of sources but £15M seems cheap for him! https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-aston-villa-norwich-keen-west-brom-tell-star-can-leave-right-price

Sergio Romero On a free would be an improvement to our XI, although would need us to sell another keeper.

I would if it means we sell Redmond (only cos I wouldn’t see any of the others) Our wide players last season didn’t score or create enough so seems silly to go into next year with the exact same players in those positions. Armstrong is fine, Walcott already signed up so I’d like at least one new face in there this season.

Everton are announcing their away kit tomorrow (assume ahead of wearing vs City on last day). Would give us a few clues on style possibly used for ours?
