peterborofox Posted 28 December 2016 Share Posted 28 December 2016 Not surprised focusing on foreign market. Keane alone would blow our whole January budget. Defo need a CB as priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 28 December 2016 Share Posted 28 December 2016 1 hour ago, Manwell Pablo said: You'd be surprised in RE to Jeffrey, I work in West Brom and for some unbeknownst reason to me most of the fans and seemingly the management are well up for signing him, I dunno if any of them have actually seen him play or watched his "best bits" on YouTube, the way they talk about him I'm presuming the latter We've already turned down 12 mil for him so could potentially be looking at nearly 15 just for him alone, which is pretty mad. Mind you we will have to see if they are still interested. Leo I dunno he is getting on and has his limitations but he can bag you enough goals to stay up if given consistent service. You would like to think we could at least get close to getting our 10 Million back on him, may have to take a bit of a hit but I'd be surprised if we ended up with much less than 20 for both. . Top: "pleasure doing business with you, Tony. Just put my name on a cheque and I'll be out of here.." Tony pullis " ahaha ha! . Funny guy!" Top " Something wrong, Tony?" Tony " Oh wait.. you're actually being serious!? You thought it was ME paying YOU the 12 million to take him off your hands?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adejo92 Posted 28 December 2016 Share Posted 28 December 2016 Well, 15m already thrown away on a player who is unproven in the PL and will end up in the u23's. lets home they have some plans for the remaining 15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sycokilla Posted 28 December 2016 Share Posted 28 December 2016 its a bit frightening to think we spent nearly 60 million on 3 players this year already and non of them have shown any consistency ...

Bazly Posted 28 December 2016 Share Posted 28 December 2016 What you need in a relegation scrap are old hands not 20 year olds. It'd be better looking to bring in some experienced players in their mid to late 20's to shore up the defence and midfield. Cannot see the point in yet another striker unless Ulloa is on the move. We need scrappers now, the way the players backed off the Everton keeper on Boxing day so he could do his 80 yard assist says we really do need players prepared to put themselves out there.

I couldn't agree more... Money is being spent willy-nilly on these youngsters with 'potential' and we really need experience! When you exploit the foreign market and spend £15 million plus on a untested, young player in a relegation scrap it's always going to be a risk. I can't help but feel we aren't spending wisely at the moment - would long to see a 'Walsh' signing again. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how much Ranieri is loving the King - Amartey, Drinkwater - King, Drinkwater - Amartey combos! It's going to take him time to break into the side and adjust!

We were in for Musa and bought Amartey in January, Mendy we tried to sign the season before and have been after Slimani for ages. All under the watchful eye of Steve Walsh.

Agree with most of this apart from the Slimani bit. Not sure that Walsh was ever interested in him. Slimani appears to be a bit of a panic buy.

I don't wanna play the racism card but it's close. There are plenty of foreign players who work their arses off. Our squad is build on hard working but limited foreign players.

Agree that John Percy is normally quite accurate on speculation regarding our transfer targets but not sure about the myth concerning our pursuit of Slimani. I vaguely recall a denial going back to the Pearson/Walsh days that we were ever interested in him. Just my gut feeling on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
