MGLCFC Posted Sunday at 16:31 Posted Sunday at 16:31 5 minutes ago, BenTheFox said: I have been wondered what it would take for us to be able to bring players in for transfer fees. £8 million should be able to get us five very good players for this level. Yes, but we haven't got £8m to spend, even with these sales. I think it'll take the sale of Nelson, Faes and probably Souttar to release these kinds of funds. 1

I do think all three of those players will be sold in fairness. 1
Tuna Posted Sunday at 16:58 Posted Sunday at 16:58 Gotta be honest, it stings him going to Ipswich, and just another reminder of how we have fallen. But the money will be good, anything to get a few new players through the door that will help us win promotion. 1
Popular Post Finnegan Posted Sunday at 17:03 Popular Post Posted Sunday at 17:03 2m (ish) profit overall for him as an investment is ****ing rank. Identifying and signing BEK and Fatawu and essentially breaking even when both are sold is some of the most hideous business we've done. 17 1

Micky Posted Sunday at 17:16 Posted Sunday at 17:16 I'm not really that fussed with him going. Yes he has outrageous moments but he is so hot and cold.

Bek and Fatawu have been absolutely crap for us - the money we spent on them we are massively fortunate to get anywhere near any profit back with how utterly crap their performances have been Not having either of them one little bit and being honest the ‘life under aiywatt’ chat is utter nonsense as well in regards to these 2 5
Haywood_6 Posted Sunday at 17:19 Posted Sunday at 17:19 20m is a fair price. He's provided some great moments for us but very inconsistent and bizarre decision making at times. But wouldn't be surprised if he goes up a level after leaving as is often the case

In league one terms, that's absolutely enormous. If we didn’t have an owner that shrinks 2 inches every year nor a DOF that grew 2 inches when close to said owner then that would read closer to £100 million Edited Sunday at 17:25 by EastAnglianFox 4
Lad1966 Posted Sunday at 17:34 Posted Sunday at 17:34 I’m not sure Fatawu will want to go there tbh. We might have accepted a bid, but it’s down to Fatawu to decide if he wants to go there. Not sure that’s a given
StanSP Posted Sunday at 17:34 Posted Sunday at 17:34 So he'll be back in the Championship hopefully playing us next season... 1

Identifying and signing BEK and Fatawu and essentially breaking even when both are sold is some of the most hideous business we've done. In isolation is it bad business? Yes. Is it bad business based on our current situation, I'd say less so. We're in league one and everyone knows we're in a very precarious position financially. In Fatawu's case the fee being £20 million is a symptom of the club's on field performance because even if we were still a championship club, we'd be able to comand a higher fee. The BEK deal was all arranged last summer, and I fully accept that circa £13 million for him is really low. The only thing that could soften that blow is if Stuttgart sell him for a big fee and we have a handsome sell on clause.

Us being in league one is an absolute disgrace, and the buck stops ultimately stops with the owner. However, my statement is factually correct. £40 million in transfer fees for a league one club is unprecedented. 1

Could clear about 1/4 of the Maquary loan, which isn’t that huge but it is what it is. If they have another plan to clear this and we can use some of this money to reinvest then it’ll put us in a better position off the pitch.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted Sunday at 18:11 Posted Sunday at 18:11 People celebrating this with 'Drain The Swamp !!!!' when a fair few of the ****s that properly need shifting turned out for us yesterday 4
jimmy7587 Posted Sunday at 18:12 Posted Sunday at 18:12 I see this as a good move for all parties. He is a little bit of a one trick pony, that a top end Championship or bottom end Premier League team can punt on developing. £20m for his output last season is fair. Good luck to him.
Bert Posted Sunday at 18:12 Posted Sunday at 18:12 If he tears it up for them next season then he’ll be leaving them soon after should they go back down. 1
moore_94 Posted Sunday at 18:17 Posted Sunday at 18:17 £32m for Fatawu and McAteer Anyone else we can flog them? What about a Belgian International? 1
Nolucklcfc Posted Sunday at 18:24 Posted Sunday at 18:24 Moments player, good luck to him but **** me he was annoying.
