trousers Posted 7 January, 2019 Posted 7 January, 2019 Can I get a pm Cabbage?So you're the annoying person in front of me in queues who asks the server "can I get...?" something rather "can I have...?"

benjii Posted 7 January, 2019 Posted 7 January, 2019 Is it a picture of his sprouts? If only. You can't unsee it.

Saint Pete Posted 7 January, 2019 Posted 7 January, 2019 Being reported that Gary Cahill likely to sign for Fulham on a free. We should be all over that because he is the type of player who could keep up the likes of Fulham or us, both teams currently very poor defensively. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk I would guess Fulham would only pay a percentage of that, just like when our high earners go out on loan it doesn't cover the wages normally.
Cabbage_Face Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 I would have got Cahill, but the wages are a little obscene. Fulham makes sense for him. I’d be surprised if we sign anyone before 3rd week of window, got my ears to the ground for those who have pm’d. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
CB Fry Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Cahill would have made sense for a Mark Hughes team but pretty obvious Ralph ain't down with that sh it.
DT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Cahill to Fulham is bad news for us. Makes Fulham a hell of a lot stronger. I'd fancy them to have a good run now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saint Pete Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Its Gary Cahill they're signing, not VVD. Will likely help their defence but hes no spring chickenNo, but he is a leader on the pitch, which is something that both Fulham and us sadly are totally lacking. He will help the other players around him play better and organise better in defence. I personally think it's that leadership and strength that our team is most obviously missing so I wouldn't mind if we signed a more senior player at the back, because that would improve us.

The Worm Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Gabbiadini to Sampdoria on loan with 10.75m in the Summer

Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk This. Would much rather have him than them have him too. They have goals in them. If they can shore up the defence they will be fine. Eek
DT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Gabbiadini to Sampdoria on loan with 10.75m in the Summer Think we probably need to sell now tbh. Otherwise we can kiss inbound transfers goodbye? Or it might force us to do similar, making us not hugely strong in getting the CB(s) we need.
VectisSaint Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Gabbiadini to Sampdoria on loan with 10.75m in the Summer Update says its an option to buy in the summer. Obligation would be fine, no significant difference to a transfer, get it done, but option, no thanks.
Baird of the land Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 At least it would get Gabbi off the wage bill short term even if i have my doubts whether Sampdoria will actually buy him in the summer. Don't think we are going to get money for him in January.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Think we probably need to sell now tbh. Otherwise we can kiss inbound transfers goodbye? Or it might force us to do similar, making us not hugely strong in getting the CB(s) we need. Only if we're suffering cash flow or FFP issues, rather than balance sheet. I would say a guaranteed transfer (and a loan fee) would work.
SuperSAINT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Update says its an option to buy in the summer. Obligation would be fine, no significant difference to a transfer, get it done, but option, no thanks. Link I see says "obligation". Never know if that's from dodgy translation or not.
angelman Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 We'll shortly have more players out on loan than Chelsea.
DT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 We'll shortly have more players out on loan than Chelsea. really? they're at 40 aren't they? A financial journalist really ought to take a look at that club. That David Luiz buy back especially stank
angelman Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 About that mark. 42 I think someone said, but that surely changes every window. Of course I wasn't being serious, just pointing out that we are loaning out too many of our multi-million pound players. Classie, Boufal, Carillo and now maybe Gabs.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Daily Star say we want Ademola Lookman. WOnder whether we'd be able to get him on loan.
whelk Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Probably don’t need him but Spurs’ Dembele out of contract in summer. Still v decent but looks like off to China
benjii Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Probably don’t need him but Spurs’ Dembele out of contract in summer. Still v decent but looks like off to China Yeah, he hasn't got the legs to play week in, week out in the PL anymore. When fully fit, a class above any of our midfielders but he's obviously decided to move on.
SuperSAINT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 WOnder whether we'd be able to get him on loan. The only way I could ever imagine it happening is if Everton landed a big attacking signing. Otherwise it's not like he isn't getting game time for them.
Chez Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 About that mark. 42 I think someone said, but that surely changes every window. Of course I wasn't being serious, just pointing out that we are loaning out too many of our multi-million pound players. Classie, Boufal, Carillo and now maybe Gabs. we are only loaning these experience players because absolutely no one will buy them (teams cant afford their wages or want/need to pay a transfer fee). Chelsea on the other hand are in general loaning younger players out to gain experience, increase their value and put them in the shop window.
Chez Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Probably don’t need him but Spurs’ Dembele out of contract in summer. Still v decent but looks like off to China I've been touting him for years. I seem to remember there was an opportunity for us to sign him at one point (I might be mistaken) three or four years ago when he seemed to fall out of favour. It didn't happen and he worked his way back into favour and hasn't looked back. I think he is exceptional. He got the plaudits last season finally, but he has been top class long before that. Love the strength his possesses with back to goal and under pressure. Shame we cant pay the gazillions he will get in China. £11m is not exactly peanuts when a players has only 6 months on his contract, but £11m is yesterdays £1m I guess. Hope we at least enquired, although I guess we have to lower the wage bill before we can add to it.
Bad Wolf Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 really? they're at 40 aren't they? A financial journalist really ought to take a look at that club. That David Luiz buy back especially stank Remember a few years ago (I think it was when Mourinho was there) they started scouting a player, read into him, made an approach and then it turned out that he was theirs anyway? How true that story is, I don't know but it makes for a good anecdote.
SuperSAINT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 We'll shortly have more players out on loan than Chelsea. We only have 7 out on loan at the mo, I think. Carrillo / Seager / Boufal / Clasie / Latham / Reed / Davis
stknowle Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 we are only loaning these experience players because absolutely no one will buy them (teams cant afford their wages or want/need to pay a transfer fee). Chelsea on the other hand are in general loaning younger players out to gain experience, increase their value and put them in the shop window. Indeed, if the business model is working those players have been/are being sold for big profits and we’re all left complaining about the loss of yet another good player. Buy potential and sell for big profit after potential is realised has become buy potential then loan out to anyone who’ll pay something towards his wages after potential is not realised. (Carrillo doesn’t quite fit either scenario due to absence of potential).
VectisSaint Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 Link I see says "obligation". Never know if that's from dodgy translation or not. Check the whole tweet, it originally said obligation and then got changed to option. Issues with translation from the Italian source no doubt.
SuperSAINT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 We only have 7 out on loan at the mo, I think. Carrillo / Boufal / Clasie / Latham / Reed / Davis Now only 6 if Seager has indeed returned.
SuperSAINT Posted 8 January, 2019 Posted 8 January, 2019 We can rule out the most unlikely transfer link of the window. Pepe has signed for Porto.
