Summer Transfer Window 2023

[Sfcphilc]

If Tino goes for £15m I riot. Has to be at least £25m to even start conversations. 

[gammon cheeks]

Absolute bollocks 

[Bewildered]

Are we going to try and keep anyone worthwhile or are we just going flog them in favour of an army of children brought in on loan/cheap?

Given the gap in prices seem unlikely. Also given Tino left Chelsea because he wanted to play first team football is he after not even one full season of doing so, going to leave to be backup to Tripper??

I could see them going for KWP more given he can cover both full back positions.

You don't understand Hypo... regrettably we've signed an agreement with all potential suitors of Lavia that his price is £40M and we cannot possibly ask for a penny more 🙄

You're struggling on this one aren't you mate. Keep thinking  it over, and the penny may eventually drop.

well it can only go upto £40m................thats the minimum release clause i think isnt it?,and whos going to stump up more to  line Citys pockets?

[Saint Matty 76]

The article preview says they're closing in on £12m deal, the article itself says potential £15m deal and then later on says our valuation is £30m.

Going to be a long summer.

Yep. I assumed we'd lose KWP and start the season with Bree and Tino as our RB/RWB's.

Southampton are understood to value Livramento at around £30 million, but Newcastle want to agree a price around half the amount — one proposal has included cash plus Ryan Fraser #saintsfc @JPercyTelegraph

Expand  

If they're chucking in Fraser I'd want a lot more than 30 fucking million. 

[hypochondriac]

Worryingly few links to players we don't mind losing and more about players we want to keep (tella, livramento.) Suppose we should have expected it but depressing nonetheless to end up with the average abd below players rather than the young ones with high potential that should piss the championship.

Absolute bollocks is Tino Livaramento leaving, and especially silly for that price. 😂

I hope you're right mate. Selling him would be silly, and £15m would be give away money.

Just reject it ffs. One decent season next season and he'll be worth far more.

[EBS1980]

Sky reporting we are in talks. Moved quickly from Telegraph article.

How do you convince a 20yr old to move to a club to be backup to their captain. I’m sure Tino could have stayed at Chelsea and be on more that he is with us.

would be disappointed if this goes through, given he’s been out for a year, he is one of a few that should just not be for sale this season. 

[LaptopSaint]

I will lose whatever remaining faith I have in Sports Republic (there’s not much TBF) if we sell Tino to Newcastle (Newcastle FFS!) for any of the numbers in that article. 
 

I don’t think it will happen. He’s integral to the only decent song we’ve got left FFS. 

[bangkoksaint]

Maybe given the injury and potential long term prognosis the club feel it’s a good deal? I remember when JRod was out - wasn’t there the possibility of him moving on but he didn’t? He clearly wasn’t the same player again. 

[CB Fry]

Blimey, just reading this.

Fucks sake. 

Basically Martin is going to be building a team from absolute scratch then.

[Lighthouse]

It’d be a weird move for him, at that age and coming back from a big injury. He needs a solid season of regular football, not watching Trippier from the stands four games out of five.

[saint lard]

And there was me hoping to possibly keep some of the little talent we have and off load the dross…I fear it’s going to be vice versa….and spearheaded by a crap manager and clueless decision makers. 
Nothing surprises me anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻

[Farmer Saint]

£20m plus a year on loan and it's probably worth it given what he's coming back from. I'm assuming if this is the case we're stumbling on people coming up with the money for KWP. 

It's also early in the transfer window, they always low-ball early on.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

So, "I'd like to stay and repay the club's faith in me" equates to "I'm off to the first club who can agree a deal for me"? In which case, I hope plenty more of last season's squad would like to stay and repay our faith in them...

In reality, if Tino had played the whole season and we'd gone down, he'd absolutely be one of the first other teams would be after. I guess Newcastle are willing to take a punt on him having recovered sufficiently if they can get a price that suits them.

But why would you think people would want to buy the dross, and not the good players? That literally makes no sense.

This really, really cannot be true at the at price.

With the defence and central midfield plundered, we look to be going into the new season where our existing attacking force from last season is our strongest facet. Cool.

Chelsea have a sell on fee as well. £12M wouldn't make any sense for us to sell. I know Rasmus does stupid things but he's not that stupid.

Agreed. I was certain he'd stay. 

[verlaine1979]

Wonder if his agent managed to get a relegation fee clause put in. There was competition for his signature when he decided to leave Chelsea, so he might have had enough leverage to insist on one.

[woodsaint1]

Do they want KWP or Livramento? Wont be going for both, and wont be getting either for less than 25m

I have a horrible feeling this summer window is going to be a very painful one.

There would be absolute meltdown on here if we brought a 20 year old who had that injury without at least six months first team action.

I was surprised there is interest from Newcastle in a player who has played not one full first team game since coming back from a really nasty injury. But as a club owned by one of the richest nations in the world the financial risk to them is tiny. If he is not the player he was they drop say £20 million on transfer fee and wages. If he has made a full recovery they have a cheap player and have stopped rivals getting him. Sadly it makes perfect sense.

[hypochondriac]

Talksport now reporting we want mega money for Tino. You would think we woukd now how important someone like him is to our plan so maybe this peak has been all from Newcastle.

Newcastle have money to take the gamble. If he is a hit then they've got a top quality player for a song.

Agree with this.

If we sell him for £12-15m, then it makes a mockery of our ‘strategy’. You have to wonder what the club’s aim or ambition is. If at all.

If we lose Lavia, KWP, jwp, Tino, Tella, Sulemana, Adams, Alcaraz and ABK then I agree with you. Need to be keeping at least two or three of them.

Essentially 25 teams in one league, but playing in seeded groups.

all teams will play a total of 20 matches and the top 16 at the end of the season will enter a play-off style tournament for the title. 

Expand  

So we'd have ended up there regardless of promotion (so no point in our promotion?) 

[SNSUN]

I know we were expecting players to leave this summer but with the Tino rumours that would leave RBs as Bree and Payne (assuming KWP also goes which we expect). With Lyanco, DCC, Stephens and Salisu most likely leaving we will only have Bednarek and ABK still here and the latter only because he's injured. JWP and Lavia will be gone too... we only have 5 weeks and 4 days until our first fixture.  I hope Sports Republic are really on it this summer or we are going to be starting the season slowly which will not be good for promotional aspirations.

You would think after he has benefited from some of the best medical and physio care in the world that he would repay our efforts to get him match fit he would stay at least a year, or to Christmas.
