Like the sound of this. You think any fees will be involved @Skybluebeliever or free agents? Prefer to see us recruit from League 1 and 2, and development players from Premier League teams.

Said on another thread - just highlights how difficult it is for other teams to compete against the relegated sides with the parachute money. Burnley are like a kid in a sweet shop at the minute.

Said the same. Technically has some decent attributes. Positioning and concentration are pretty poor though. Not convinced concentration can ever be coached either.

Seems to be a lot of money being pumped into the transfer market already at the top end and this will filter down. A lot of big transfers tend to happen in non tournament summers. Puts us in a good position. We should get good fees for Hamer and Gyökeres.

Apparently a Sun journalist (Jack Rosser) is saying Fulham have made a move for Hamer. Can't find anything on twitter but a Fulham fanzone page is reporting it... https://hammyend.com/index.php/2022/06/fulham-move-for-hamer/

That Alex Cochrane has signed for Hearts.

Concern I have with Gyökeres is that the Middlesbrough interest doesn't seem to be going away. It would seem to me his agent will know what is on offer and it would be of interest. Be painful to lose Gyökeres to Middlesbrough but sounds like they will come with a healthy bank account after a...

No. Still has his column in the Sun. Everyone will slate the Sun but they are excellent for sport. Imagine they pay hefty retainers to a number of agents to leak stories. Suits all parties.

Wasn't convinced it was him on that photo.

Just read this. For £350k reportedly

Think that was the striker target

Frustrating but at least it's early in the window. Also encouraging that Man City were willing to send him here.

Already getting annoyed with Burnley's parachute payments. The relegated teams are like playing Championship Manager.

Two possible signings could drop over the next few days... @Skybluebeliever @better days - any knowledge on these?

If Hamer was sold and the money reinvested in the squad it would put us on such a solid footing for years to come. I find the whole concept of not reinvesting absolutely crazy. Makes me wonder for the first time in ages again what Sisu's exit strategy is.

Shrewsbury apparently after Tom Bayliss

There was the Callum Wilson sell on fee the summer we were promoted. No real problem with having to sell a player as this has always been the case with us, but given the likely fees we could get for Hamer or Vik it beggars belief that Robins wouldn't get some of the funds.

Agree with this really. It's felt like we were building this summer. Doesn't really sound like that in truth based on sbb comments. Generally when we have invested in players they are the profitable ones. Feels like Robins is going to have his work out.

Why would that be @Skybluebeliever? Appreciate because of the number of contracts being extended before the end of the season we are probably in a good place with the lack of churn of players so there probably isn't a huge amount of free wages still. Would a Hamer sale not change this in your view?

Thought the same. Or Ben Davies, although think @Skybluebeliever said a young centre back... Davies probably isn't young in footballing terms.
