enmac Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 Injury history. Lallana vs Vardy. This might be an issue. Hamstrings might be a bit of a problem.

coolhandfox Posted 10 July 2020 Share Posted 10 July 2020 11 hours ago, Stadt said: £5-10m in wages But what do you get for 5-10m in the transfer market, a very average championship player thats all going to be cost 2.5millon on wages on top of a transfer fee. Some of he's wages will be offset by the releases of Andy King who is going to be on 2-3m a year. 11 hours ago, lcfc sheff said: with him also being the age of 32; the lack of playing time in his last six years is concerning. I hope we steer clear. To be fair I don't think we are bring him in to play 38 games a season, it about impose squad depth to allow a little more rotation 11 hours ago, st albans fox said: And the rest .......with a s/o fee, double that to 20m over four years No way are we signing on a 4 year contract at 32!

hackneyfox Posted 10 July 2020 Share Posted 10 July 2020 We wouldn't sign him on a four year contract. His current salary has nothing to do with what we may pay him. If nobody else offers a signing on fee then why would we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Portsmouth's fans money when they were spaffing it away on has-beens either, nor Boltons. People are allowed to be wary where their club's cash is going.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 16 July 2020 Share Posted 16 July 2020 Lallana would have been an awful signing, an absolute panic buy who would do nothing to improve the first 11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly he's not a buy, other than signing of fee and wages. Thought he could be a good addition to the squad as he is an upgrade on some we have on the bench and has a really fantastic attitude, which could help develop Barnes and Gray.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 16 July 2020 Share Posted 16 July 2020 He’ll be going back down south where he’s from then; think he’ll be good for Brighton as I think they’ll kick on next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 16 July 2020 Share Posted 16 July 2020 I think the solution is just buying most of Brentford's attacking players; not Albrighton. or just sign all those AZ players that Flair knows about. I trust Flair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the first 11, but we are in need of a much more experienced squad and tbf he is better than our ‘squad’ players. I’d have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was a buy. However he would still cost a fair bit in wages alone. Why is their an obsession in some quarters on here on improving the bench when it's the first 11 that severely needs upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we have a few injuries, their replacements are abject, especially in midfield. It is though, you don't have a single wide player in the first 11 who you can rely on to produce consistently over a season. As has been said on here before the best way to improve a squad is to enhance the starting IX and that way the squad organically grows stronger. Bloating the squad with over the hill players who are no better than what you already have, who wouldn't challenge for a regular starting spot is very much not the way to do it, that's before you even mention the player in question's injury record in recent years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
