Dahnsouff Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Just now, 21st Century Fox said: I mean they also sold Salisu as well but it doesn't get around the fact they spent £100m last season. Much like us, I doubt all these sales will be going straight into their war chest Yes, no idea of the reality of our own financial situation, let alone another club!!

BKLFox Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Yes please, we need to be looking beyond this 8ths and if we can then secure a deal for Doyle after this season we would be looking good at CB for years to come along with Nelson and Coady fathering them until he can’t do it anymore 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 16 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 16 August 2023 He's a very good player, was in the team that got promoted last year. But I feel like this is a "nice to have" signing instead of a must-have. How are we going into game 3 of the league campaign with only one winger signed? Mavididi has looked pretty good so far, but what if he gets injured? I feel like we are at least 2 short in the wide areas. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a surprise that the loan deals would be done towards the end of the window. I can see us picking up another defender and another winger on loan on top of what's likely to be Yunus or whoever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that seems to be leaving are leaving on loan Southampton on the other hand I can see lobbing a few quid about but even then I don’t see them bringing in much more than we will (in terms of cash sales)… are they in a much healthier position financially than us? Leeds haven’t spent a penny and have reduced wage bill. They are are also going to get money for their wingers and Tyler Adams. I would expect them to spend a little yes, more than is from this point. Are Southampton in better position than us financially? Yes I would say so in terms of FFP. The have sold more than us, have a smaller wage budget and haven’t splashed out yet. How many Southampton players are are on Jamie Vardy wages in the championship, none. The fact we can’t shift one of their rejects who is on 70k a week tells you what position we are in in comparison. I would say yes, we will lose targets to Southampton as they will have more money to spend and wages to play with at this point. Hope I’m wrong 😀 Edited 16 August 2023 by DezFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_lcfc Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 19 minutes ago, Scotch said: Player profile is exactly the reason we went for Coady. Enzo has empathised leadership and experience in almost every interview he's done, he clearly values it and Coady ticked that box. There has to be a balance. A back 4 of Doyle, Coady, THB, Ricardo provides that. Young, older, young, older. You are right as to why we signed him of course, I just don't think it was a necessary trade off personally. Coady wasn't wanted by TWO bottom half PL teams, which at least suggests his ceiling and resale value is pretty low. Surely we should be giving a little thought to next season and possible promotion? If you assemble a squad that is exceptional at this level, you shouldn't need 'leaders'. Players like Faes, Dewsbury-Hall and Winks should be able to provide some of this anyway. Honestly feel like we are a RW away from a very good team at this level. Don't get me wrong though, I like Coady, I am only talking about if we can/could only sign one of the two.

Aleksz Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 I know it was said another 4 (?) signings after Casadei, but I think it’ll be 3. A CB (hopefully Harwood-Bellis) and two wingers… looking entirely possible that all 3 will be loans. Obviously that’s pending departures too - but it’s not looking like there will be loads of those as it stands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, and I probably don't, the reason he didn't end up at Burnley was because they wanted £15mill for him and a buyback around £35mill and Burnley decided that was too rich for a guy with one year on his contract.

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 If we want him he can always sign a new deal with Man City before going on loan to us with a view to permanent move if promoted. If he wants us surely something can be done to suit all parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Yes please, was good for Burnley last year, and was in the u21s who didn’t concede all tournament! Can’t see us havi. The funds to buy him unless it’s a Hermansen/mavididi price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadsEmil Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 Skimmed through this thread and saw quite a few people mention how Soton are favourites for him because of all the money they've got. Excuse me for being ignorant but we've sold £80m worth (excluding addons) and signed, what, £25m worth? If we want this lad we can buy him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LestaLad Posted 16 August 2023 Share Posted 16 August 2023 I’m sure we could do some sort of deal like Brentford did with Arsenal and Raya, extend his contract for a year but let us do a loan with an option to buy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
