We will likely sell another, Onuachu? That could further increase our chances of signing another permanent. Also the 15Million we have plus the 13 coming would probably stretch to 2 players, As had been said before you don't pay for a player all up front.

Southner Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 10 hours ago, Forester said: I have seen the City, Sunderland and Burnley documentaries. This one shows some surprising/controversial stuff, and is I think relevant to us now, ie relegated team having been in Premier League some time, bouncing back and then staring into the gulf between two divisions. Add in similar style of play and it’s spooky! Hopefully a different outcome…..! Top stuff, will have to give it a whirl. So much football, so little time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 2 hours ago, CSA96 said: Didn't we offer £15m for Carvalho a week or so ago though? If we had the money ready to go to make a £15m signing, then in theory you can budget the £12m for ABK to that and then you have £27m? (fully appreciate I may be overly simplistic with this) Not if we need the ABK £12m to be able to spend £15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Judging by this summer so far its hard to be overly bothered about players linked/offers rejected until fees are agreed and they are travelling for a medical. I think we have likely missed out on many of our preferred targets - as a fair few have been made public - either due to FFP constraints on fees or players having better options within the PL where we are scrapping with Ipswich right at the bottom of the food chain. All our completed transfers so far have been 'easy' in the sense that they were either free involving no selling club, for players with contracts running down or players largely unwanted at their current club, with Downes the only slight exception. This current group (Parsons, Bitcon, Mowbray) still have a bit to prove to show they can get things over the line when its not so straightforward.

gio1saints Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) I think the most likely solution to Gav injured and only two senior goalies left in squad is to get a loan in. Buying a definitive #1 renders Alex and Gav ( and Joe) redundant straight away. And there is no point in buying another reserve keeper- we just sent one off to Turkey! Buying a top keeper is what everybody seems to be clamouring for but loaning one will deliver same goalkeeping quality but with far less complications ( and cost). With a loan we can do a reset next season on the gk front depending on if Gav has recovered. IF we buy ( Johnstone for eg) it does get rather complicated when Gav returns - and there is the matter of having what might then be our third choice keeper on first choice wages and a year to hang around- or perhaps be sold. Id bet a big number we keep it simple and get a” top” loan keeper in shortly. Edited August 14 by gio1saints 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
