Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (34 Viewers)

Unless I'm very much mistaken my question was about who was in which list and not whether we had been successful in signing a player.
What is your definition of cheap in monetary terms.

Well thus far we have spent £3m, sold for £2.5m alongside releasing players. We have a net spend of next to nil.

Cheap is bidding for players well under their value just so we can say "we are going for quality"

That's not answering the question. Let me put it again . What in monetary terms is cheap ?

Cheap is relative.

Loans are cheap, free's are cheap but bidding £3m for a player valued at £10m+ by his club is being cheap also.

Are you saying therefore that the value a club puts on a player is the metric which should be applied to determine the true value of a player ?

How is it throwing money down the toilet?

Worst case scenario he costs them £5m-£8m and they sell him for £7.5m. If thats the case he's had a storming season for them and its just the equivalent of a loan.

The worst case is he is underwhelming and they
have wasted £8m. The best case is he develops really well then city will buy him back and possibly sell him for profit. Its a risk with no reward, a sensible football club wouldn’t make this deal and I’m glad we avoided.

All their revenue comes from ‘commercial’ deals. It’s shit as they’re a tiny club but when you have people like Reynolds and McElhenney they’re going to be attractive to US investors.

The way football has gone, unfortunately. I hate it as much as the next person. Remember being a kid in the early 00’s and my dad said money had ruined football and that was back then, even truer now.

Disney boys can spend as much as they like! You cannot buy the dressing room comeradre and spirit required to lay it all on the line to win at all costs. It will go tit's up eventually

We'd definitely have their signings over ours this summer.

If it works for them then good luck to them, they've certainly given it a go.

What signing have they made that would get in our team?

Infact- I would say they haven’t got a single player that would

I would most definitely have had Lewis O'Brien here
