goodymatt Posted 16 August, 2023 Share Posted 16 August, 2023 Who is most attractive to Harwood-Bellis? Leicester - favs to win the league, partner Doyle. Leeds - stay up north. New owners so bigger salary perhaps. Saints - your old academy director plus a few mates from the academy. Lavia shows the way. I’m also wondering why Burnley haven’t bought him? Or any PL team for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 16 August, 2023 Share Posted 16 August, 2023 I'm hoping (and I'm sure our owners are too) that we've shown with Tino and Lavia that we're a good pathway - do well for us and get your big money move.

EBS1980 Posted 16 August, 2023 Share Posted 16 August, 2023 Leeds seem a bit of a mess at the moment so imagine it would be between us and Leicester. Both have city connections, how many can you have on loan from one club given Leicester have Doyle already? I think a loan with option to buy or a straight buy would be our best approach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le_tiss Posted 16 August, 2023 Share Posted 16 August, 2023 Quote City want to sell instead of loan by the sounds of it so maybe City are asking for too much for Burnley's liking as City only sell for big money when it comes to academy players and he's one of the better ones. from a City ITK on another forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Lavia for £10.5M (+£3.5M addons) and he hadn’t played a first team league game anywhere. Bazunu was £12M and he had only played for two average League One sides. THB has got a Championship league title under his belt plus a Euros win. Also three years experience in the Championship or Belgian top league. I imagine the lad himself is looking for a PL deal, and any perm fee is surely going to be above £20M, which I would say prices us out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu Posted 16 August, 2023 Share Posted 16 August, 2023 I think Shea Charles is going to be a good signing but £15m is already a ridiculous sum of money for a Championship club to be paying. I can't see us spending that on another player this summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are making over £100m in transfer fees, they have said they will be re-investing. We have the parachute payments as well. So for this season at least we will have resources no other team in the league has! And we were already relegated when we spent £15m on Charles! I'm not expecting them to re-invest all of it. But it also wouldn't surprise me if we spent best part of £50m on a few players to strengthen us if we have space in the squad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've signed the 10th most expensive player ever signed in this league (who has on the bench last week) and an out of contract player from our managers previous club. As expected we've sold JWP, Tino and soon to be Lavia for around what was mooted, a bit more for Lavia due to a bidding war breaking out between Liverpool and Chelsea.
