From what was said in the press conference today, we still need to sell before we can get anyone in. It looks like it’s not a squad place issue, more a cash flow issue. Pathetic really!

I would never take what a manager says in a press conference about transfers as an absolutely certainty

 

Enzo has “lied” before

[Nolucklcfc]

It’s all lined up but can’t happen without someone going. I don’t think the casadei thing will have had much effect on that really. 

[dbtcity]

Need to sell before we buy… yet we continue to just loan folk out

Enzo just said nothing is imminent without a sale. 

The guy is a massive player of the media. KDH ‘injured’ last week a great example. 

[Aleksz]

Defo get the impression Enzo is fabricating a bit.

 

But also, don’t think Sensi has even set foot in the country yet for it to be anywhere near close.

[Pliskin]

Perhaps Enzo doesn’t want to shout about it. Because let’s face it, if Sensi can remain fit, he’s no business playing in this league. 
 

Wouldn’t take much for him to change his mind if a better offer comes in.

I never understood why people expect the managers to talk about transfers, it's just an opportunity to make themselves look stupid. 

 

A transfer is never done until it signed. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Is this not done yet?

 

I'm not going to look at this thread again until we get some hard evidence: like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final (after narrowly missing out on the play-off positions).

Can see someone else signing him the time it's taking

Do all signings evoke such an arousing response?

I reckon that with loan fees returned, wages saved, that should amount to around £2m so I can't  see why this "we need to sell" message adds up.   Chelsea return the balance of the loan fee plus saved wages  @£20k per week = £1m. Smithies saved wages @ £10k = £250k. Iverson loan fee of £500k plus saved wages @ £20 per week = £1m. Thomas is carbon neutral. Total = £2.25m. Exactly what is required to sign Sensi.

I thought Inter had stopped the transfer until next week  because he is needed for injury cover this weekend

Do you do the books at the club?

 

Reality is, none of us know how they work it out and exactly how they are factoring FFP in.

Very surprising this hasn't already happened if he's that good (especially as the price doesn't make it a big risk).

I do the books at the club. Have been for a while. I find them pretty difficult tbh.

I know  I'm  just  speculating but surely the saved money must be in the region required to sign Sensi.

Suppose we all read it differently. I never assumed that we needed to get rid of 2 million to pay for 2 million. We need to sell anyway and breaking even isn't good enough.

Selling a player or saving on loan fees and wages amounts to the  same. It just shows how tight our finances are.

[Long Eaton Fox]

I'm now going to watch the FA cup on the telly pretending we're still the holders. Maybe we're waiting for the FA cup revenue money from tomorrow to come in then buy Sensi.

I rate Sensi, but if we are selling our best player this season for a player that has a horrific injury record... it makes me extremely nervous.

 

KDH is an absolute engine...

It would be daft in the extreme

This would be my fear. That someone else comes in making him a better offer while we piss about.

 

We should be getting him in first then worry about getting someone out.
