But when we are not buying what we desperately need why spend that on a player that we already have? That money should be spent on a keeper and a defensive midfielder because if Flyn gets injured….

Pwoite Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 So, 181 pages and the window closes in three weeks. I’m really worried that SR will not generate enough rumours, or indeed deals, to get this over the line to 200 before the whole thing bangs shut! Do we know what we are doing? Everything is way too quiet. How can the team survive in the EPL without generating sufficient hot air, sorry, committed, informed opinion, amongst the fan base?

Pat from Poole Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 3 hours ago, S-Clarke said: 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. We can only loan 2 players though. We need more than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’m here I don’t think SR are loaded but fairly sure they will back us . They said it’s a long term plan and as some of the more perceptive posters have pointed out we have spent a fair bit of money. The money Brentford have paid for Carvalho is insane I’d hate to go down that route. it’s a weird time does Tall Paul have a place in the team . I reckon Charly looks decent. There’s a PLPlayer in Aribo he was brilliant in Rangers Europa cup run the other season. Maybe they stick with those players they know how the team works. seriously whatever your agenda the management will have a very good idea what the team needs . Cannot for one minute believe there’s anyone saying let’s leave it how it is and we will wing it until January then have a rethink. There’s some well iffy teams in the PL as well Everton, Bournemouth, Ipswich, Wolves, Forest, Leicester, we will be fine Aribo isn’t a Prem player. Plays the game at walking pace. We need far more than that. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally crazy. I suppose some regard him as the best English no. 9 in the premier league behind Ivan Toney. Other crazy things: L'pool sold him for 20 million to B'mouth. He scored 3 goals in 42 matches and B'mouth were relegated. In the championship he started to bang them in , B'mouth went back to the PL after 2 seasons , and now he is probably regarded as a striker who scores every third match on average ; for a small PL team , and.... Liverpool collect 20 % of the 65 million pounds from the sell-on clause they agreed on with B'mouth back in 2018, which means Liverpool will potentially earn further 13 million pounds on Solanke 🙄 Edited August 10 by Kristian Loekkegaard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is we were relegated we don't have the funds of Brighton or Brentford. I don't think people realise how far the club fell in the last 3-4 years. We're not the same team that were regularly putting in performances against the big boys and punching above our weight into europe. We're a struggling Premiership club that's just won promotion back to the league. It hurts, but that's the fact of the matter.
