CSA96 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Honestly, you can almost see why Forest just signed all the players they wanted and then took the points deduction and tried to make some quick sales to tidy the books up for the next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - not sure the club can control other clubs intentions and transfers though. It's the normal gamesmanship of nearly all transfers nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Curse of St Mary's Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Unless we have made progress with MOR this is a blow to our transfer plans although I actually think both types of players needed. Shea Charles not involved today maybe a sign things have progressed 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who that is but I think you are taking about the Celtic lad, in which case we have been bidding within our limits, hence why we haven’t got him. So you think FFP has nothing to do with it and the owners are being tight, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Loekkegaard Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 10 hours ago, Fabrice29 said: Is that because you watched him or because he signed for Stoke a few weeks back? Well, having moved to Stoke doesn't make him a non ex Blackburn striker. He always will be an ex Blackburner (and ex Saints player) 😊 I actually hope he does well at Stoke, who could be an outsider for promotion imo , despite a lot of chaos apparently in recent years.

S-Clarke Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I think the club are stuck between a rock and a hard place with the fans this summer. There is a general illusion that we haven't spent enough or improved the team, but we had to spend a £40m outlay on two players to ensure we kept them. So there's £40m there to just stand still, but it was necessary and I can imagine there would be serious uproar had we not got either through the door. Add the signings of Yuki, Edwards, Wood, BBD and you're looking at a current spend of upwards of £50m. For a club of our size, curtailed by FFP/PSR bollocks due to our splurge two years ago, that's a pretty heathy amount to have spent without any sales. We clearly now need to get money in before we can spend anything else, which is probably the case for most clubs. Unfortunately we're in a league where Bournemouth, Fulham etc have upwards of £50m to spend just from player-sales. Loans in the final week are where we will get our value. Convinced of it. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right and generally agree with the perspective you've given. Also, if you're going to spend £27.5m and it's on someone who isn't Matt O'Riley that would probably play slightly strangely with the fanbase - and likely the manager, based on what we've heard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Scott Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 38 minutes ago, CSA96 said: £27.5m is too much, so not surprised. Clarke being touted at £20-25m would be a good alternative at the lower end of their price range. Jack scored today in Sunderland's 2-0 win at Cardiff.

Fabrice29 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Always worth remembering the club briefed quite a few weeks ago we were unlikely to sign O'Riley and then a few days ago told everyone we have pulled out of deals that have gone too high.
