The Tanner article this morning is saying we’ve spent £30m of our £40m budget 

 

so unless Soumare is sold, this won’t be happening 

You would have thought that by now Rob would have figured out how amortisation works. 

[urban.spaceman]

Can we stop buying players that have inflicted trauma on us in the past please?

Yeah, why not.

Because his on about 80k a week and in 12 months time we are likely to be in the championship again, and it’s being reported we have a lack of funds

mate we are Leicester City, scrapping to survive in the prem. How can you not approve of this? 

For the reasons I've literally stated pal. Don't go fluttering your eyes at every "fancy name". The bloke's not even good and we can't afford what they are asking for.

Most likely 3 years after he turned 23...

Never gonna happen.

Why are we even showing interest in players then? 

The cynic in me believes that the hierarchy at the club leaks the information to appease fans that they’re actually trying to buy players, then when inevitably we land no one or get some shitter like ayew or David fofana on deadline day it appears like we’ve just been pipped for all our priority targets

[Tielemans63]

Unless it's from Percy, it's BS imho. Romano has been nowhere near as accurate in the last 12 months or so

Well technically it was on 8th October 2023 but he'd been working up to turning 26 since 1997...

Working well … 

[bald reynard]

That's a big yes from me. He would be a major 'upgrade' for us.

The strategy in itself doesn’t make a lot of sense as you could spend the same amount of money (fee/wages) of better players - but I assume if they aren’t hitting Cooper’s remit of prem experience. But again the club should be sticking to their own philosophy and approach.

 

I can’t t trust the club will pull anything out the bag and we’re again on a hiring to nothing with an aimless strategy from the hierarchy who’ve pinned their hopes on Cooper performing a miracle.

He is often very reliable for Ajax news though so it’s not just Fab.

I’m still getting over the fact that we bought David Speedie! 

[honeybradger]

Apparently he scored 5 penalties last season, 20 mil for a 7 goal 5 assists winger in the eredivisie who is also 26 is probably too much.

Not worth getting hung up on transfer fees. It's all smoke and mirrors and, as usual, will be announced as an undisclosed fee.

20 Million euros is closer to 17 Million Pounds. Depends how much is add ons etc

Exactly, yet we bid £25m for Soule.

Bizarre statement to make from Tanner.

 

Exactly. The bloke can’t even pronounce Ndidi, so how can he be taken seriously?

Apparently, he wants Roma.

He probably knows it doesn't have an apostrophe in it though.
