But remember there is a hell of a gap between Championship defences and the ones he will come up against in the Prem. So lets not expect performances like on the video at least not until he gets used to he pace and class gulf. Video? What video? Shit, if people would just post this stuff here we could get to 100 pages and he'd sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me like the plan may well be although I could be wrong to line up with 3 at the back and wing backs so not sure there will be any real need to bring in traditional wingers. I know defenders are still on the wanted list interest in Joe worrell at Forest but not sure if we will take it any further. I would not be surprised to see us go in for a wing back or 2 rather than wingers. If we are going down that road Simpson and CF don’t really fit so would need competition/cover for Chilwell and Pereira. Please happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new LWB to compete with Chilwell would be great if we’re switching to 3 at the back . Albrighton would be good cover for Pereira imo.

One of England’s most highly rated youngsters and we’ve beaten alot of big teams to secure his signature. Fantastic signing for the club which adds to the young talent we already have. The more ‘informed’ people down here are impressed and dare I say it, a little envious. With him, chilwell and gray, we potentially have the rump of the next clutch of young players trying to make the next euros squad. add in wilf and kelechi and if we can keep the ones we want to, the future looks bright indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great logic. They just need to put their hand in their pocket if I was a Burnley fan I would be starting to wonder where all the money is! Don't you know the annual cost of mooring a luxury yacht these days? None of BFC directors (owners) take a salary but need a bit of cash to sustain their lifestyle. But they did earn quite a bit by charging high interest on the loans needed before promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheppyFox Posted 20 June 2018 Share Posted 20 June 2018 Can’t help but feel Mahrez has to go before we can continue strengthening, not because we can’t afford it but because we must meet FFP commitments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine we’d accept £70m cash. Let’s hope we get the money with more than -14 seconds to go. Edited 20 June 2018 by FoxinNotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffs Fox Posted 20 June 2018 Share Posted 20 June 2018 Apart from our investigation regarding the 13/14 season, what is people’s obsession with FFP? I agree that we’ll see a lot of outgoings this summer but that’s mainly due to having a bloated squad. We’ve spent £50m this summer not £200m! We’re a top half premier league team with wealthy owners who were in the CL QF the season before last and made record profit last year! Everton had a net spend of over £80m last season and they’re ok. Our net spend won’t be anywhere near that with our outgoings but it wouldn’t matter if it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smr Posted 20 June 2018 Share Posted 20 June 2018 Just read that we might not be interested in Patrick Roberts as a result of signing JM. I like that because it shows that we are looking for players that we want to buy rather than having to choose from a squad of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsNut1908 Posted 20 June 2018 Share Posted 20 June 2018 I think there’s a misunderstanding relating to FFP. The baseline financial figures will never be a problem (the club made an £80m profit). The area that’s very difficult to deal with is the complex & over baring Sporting rules. One of these is the annual value of players and their ‘amortisation’ on the books. Spending £50mish on Musa, Slimani & Mendy only to see that depreciate startlingly (under UEFA’s rules) was a big blow. Leicester will struggle to sell for their ‘book’ value & the loans were less than ideal to fit UEFA’s criteria. Selling Mahrez will surely help but adding another such as Gray could be vital. Short story its a pain in the ass if you buy big & make mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
