Suhari Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Definitely a change in profile of targets from the past few windows. SR are still a 'player tradning' operation of course, so I expect we will sign a youngster or two will signifcant sell-on potential. But nice that PL experience seems to be the immediate requirement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSA96 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Makes sense that a lot of these earlier links are frees with experience too, given these deals need to be tied up first due to their contracts expiring in nine days time and it then means the recruitment team know exactly what still needs adding and how much budget they can spend in fees to get it all done. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Turkish said, if it’s a free probably a no brainer, but I suspect there’s more than a little agent work going on if there’s a contract offer from Fulham.

gio1saints Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Coventry cost themselves a pretty penny not selling Callum O’Hare in January. Gamble on getting playoffs cost them maybe £3-£5m on him alone. Now they get nothing and he goes from ( apparently) £10k pw to a lot more plus a sign on fee. Happy days for him if he gets a chance in the EPL or with one of the relegated teams most likely.

OldNick Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 3 hours ago, Saint Matty 76 said: Brereton-Diaz loan with an option, same as Sheffield United just had, seems like a no brainer. Just had a good goalscoring rate at a really poor team and it'd still allow us our two PL loan spots. As i mentioned before Sousa (?) Sheff utd midfielder got most tackles won and interceptions if my memory serves me right. So he may be a decent option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 If we target some good value PL experience and know-how e.g free transfers and loan with option etc and it then gives a bit more financial power for 2 or 3 difference makers then I think thats a sensible approach.

Chez Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 2 hours ago, Convict Colony said: Your really trying to manifest this signing chez, keep going aha. I failed with Nicolas Jackson, wasn't given enough time to press home my desire for Kvaratskhelia and am slightly relived Beto and Scamacca didn't bear fruit, but this is the one. He has a £34m release clause, but there's been no takers at that price and Braga need to sell. The only issue is other `bigger' clubs might take a punt is their first choices go elsewhere. Shankland and Brereton are more realistic and might be just what we need, but always like a `exotic' signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
