Will we break our transfer record in the summer?

[jumbo mills]

I'm in two minds I think we have to, but NP is sensible. Seems a long time ago, since we paid 5.5 million for Ade Akinbiye

[AKCJ]

I think we will, yes.

 

 

All 3 did last summer.

[XLM]

I'd say we will. Obviously bare in mind how football has changed since we were last in the premiership (i.e. inflated prices of good players etc). 

I wouldn't be surprised if Nige signs 3-4 players for decent sums of cash, that become very successful parts of our team. He's got a very thoughtful transfer policy. 

[pSinatra]

He will have some bargains lined up, but expect there might be 1 or 2 record breakers as well.

[J.Lisemore]

Could happen. I think it will be more about quality and not quantity in the summer. Should imagine most of this side will have a chance at the big time.

I just don't want us to do a Cardiff in terms of transfers

[Hungry Hungry Fox]

I reckon we will do something similar to hull

[Guest MattP]

Very possible.

 

And even better if Nigel pays that for a player you know he is going to be good.

I will bet my house that he doesn't break the record on an Akinbiyi. Maybe a record - but he will buy well.

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

Ade Akinbiye being our record signing is a stain on this football club.

To be fair Sven did his best to top it.

With Matt Mills Would have been worse IMO.

I'm with you on that.

 

Never forget when he signed him, "He's a good talker" - for £5million I hope he can play football as well Svennis.

[Stadt]

We'd buy a few players around the 6m Mark I'd think but Pearson wouldn't go mental like Malky.

I don't think he'd go overboard on wages either knowing that if we go down we'd be lumbered with unsustainable wages.

Sven really put how good Nige is into context - I love him.

[Beliall]

I think we could not only break our record fee, but possibly spend it on a high profile player no-one would have thought we could get.

[MPH]

I don't get the impression Nige will like 'big money buys'

If Riyad is what he can get for 425k, imagine what he can get for 3-4 million. ..

[Sir Shep]

Perhaps on a new forward player, Nugent and Vards I can't see as our pairing in the prem as good as they are. And that's not a dig at them but the rest won't be here having retired or released.

[Bryn]

Yeah, we need a striker and I think you're talking at least 6m

[MPH]

Who's that big lanky danish kid? Might be able to get him on the cheap....

[Vicki Vixen]

We'll probably never know. Loves an undisclosed transfer fee does our Nige.

[Thracian]

How much we pay is much less important than what we buy as Peter Taylor - and many other misguided managers since - have all so starkly demonstrated.

[Nugent]

Who's that big lanky danish kid? Might be able to get him on the cheap....

 

Bendtner?

[Guest Col city fan]

Things have moved on.. I think its pretty likely we will be paying 6/7 million on good quality targets.

[Buzzell]

I think Pearson will have looked at a few targets to sign next year. Could imagine he will have to break our transfer record to sign somebody decent for next year. I can see us signing a foreign striker next year.
