Royston. Posted 24 August 2024 Posted 24 August 2024 I think Townsend is a player we will eventually "have a go on" He isn't quite far gone enough for us yet but he already has vast premier league experience at behemoths like Palace and Luton. Not next season as he's too good for the championship but maybe for the 26/27 season when we go back up

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 24 August 2024 Posted 24 August 2024 No way is anyone paying 13mil for a 33 Townsend. That's BS surely.

Over that period they are down -75m (peanuts compared to West Ham for example) and are probably confident they've got a couple of big profit sales next summer from one of the inevitable gems they have unearthed. Wages may become an issue as it did for us. Of course a couple of bad windows and things can change fast.

I was trying to work out how he'd be valued at that price, especially with Barkley moving for less than half that. Probably missed the pun with regards to Ipswich buying up the whole of the championship I guess. Lesson learnt, don't believe everything I read 1

We often see comments like this about how this club, that club, are doing everything we used to be etc etc it’s usually about Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth probably now add in Ipswich, but are they? Take Brighton in their 7 seasons in the Premier Lge they have broke the top 10 just twice where as we broke it 5 times in the same period including 2 consecutive 5th place finishes, the other 2 times we were relegated and not played in the same division & they only got their 2nd top 10 in our relegation season, they didn’t even gain on us when we were out of the division. When we were like Brighton we won the league, got to 1/4 finals of a Champions league regularly made top 10. At some point thou a club needs to over extend and tweak the model if they really want to cement a constant threat for advancement on those top 6 positions & it seems contradictory to say it given the sentence I’ve just written, we did that prior to our top 5 seasons. We held onto the players that we’d normally sell to keep the cycle of staying afloat in the premier league, we had already started to blow the wage brackets due to success rewarding and this was further blown by trying to keep the likes of Tielemans & such like we also employed a, like it or not, higher grade manager that was able to polish off what we had, we were rewarded with the 8th (highest position other than 15/16) & 2 top 5 places, also add in an fa cup (& community shield) but it was the start of the downfall because our income couldn’t match the outlay. Brighton are around 2yrs behind us in the footballing cycle, they are now into their 8th premier season & are now trying to spend their way, currently €171m way over anything we spent, to advance that success of a 6th and 9th placing in 7yrs, their wage bill will be climbing & this is where as we know it all goes wrong but time will tell. I know some would say I’d rather be in the league than yo-yo’ing or going bust but at the same time will knock clubs like Palace, Fulham, Wolves & Everton (weirdly Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford are excused on this list) by saying “what have they achieved they are nothing clubs I’d rather have the 10yrs we have had….” ironically if we had marked time and continued in the same manner after the 16/17 season we would be bundled into that group of teams…which is it we want 🤷♂️ Edited 24 August 2024 by BKLFox
lfu Posted 24 August 2024 Posted 24 August 2024 Lyon are signing Tanner Tessmann from Venezia (Serie B last season) for €6m, 22y/o centre mid/DM and he had one year left on his contract If he's good enough for Lyon then is he the type of signing we should've been going for?

JimJams Posted 25 August 2024 Posted 25 August 2024 That is horrendous scraping of the barrel. Hope they don't get him cos there's a danger Everton then go and get someone good.
