I’d rather Doug be proactive and sign some players on the assumption Vik is going. Pre-season starts next week, I’d have wanted the bulk of the signings ready to go. robins always told us when we signed players late “they’ll take a while to bed in” would be nice if they were already bedded in...

It’s saying he’s gonna be on €1m salary - that’s just under 17k… why are we not matching this

Agreed. I always thought he did well when he played in the premier league. We’d have done better with him than Hughes

I’d be happy with that

If true - we’re looking at actually being worse off than we were with SISU. At least with them there was a 10 year licence with allegedly “the best f&b deal the club has ever had”

Back himself to be top dog in the league, get an even bigger move as Sporting seem to be a feeder club to the mega clubs. Suit us better than him going to West Ham 2bh

Yeah but there’s a balance that needs to be struck, he’s enticed the fans by saying pay a premium - we’re aiming to be top 6 in 3/5 seasons ultimately it’s up to him to put the product on the pitch. That’s what we’ve been saying to SISU all these years - why doesn’t it apply to Doug?

Considering Ipswich have bid 3.5m I’d be very surprised if we had

That’s the one that’s putting me off this game

Been there once.. right after page rearranged Doyle’s teeth. got beat 3-0 with Adrian Heath as manager. Haven’t quite recovered from that experience

Unless I see John Dawkins announcing this in Samoa Joe’s alongside Tom Grennan I don’t believe it

Cynic in me sees this as an excuse to pull out of Ukraine without admitting defeat.

Did Badlan take the database or something? we’d have had the targets lined up from January

Suggesting 3 years in the play offs out of 5 would really require a bit of investment. If Gyokeres opts to stay, and go on a free - what do we do then? we need at least 10 players. As I said before - it’s not different to having SISU

No, I’m just hoped we’d have a bit more about us under King. At the moment it looks like our whole window hinges on Gyokeres being sold.

Weren’t they both mid 20s so I’m theory should be in their prime when we signed them?

Time will tell. I personally like the club trying to find gems from abroad. I never said they’d be considered “fantastic” I said there would be intrigue - as there was when Hamer signed. at the moment we’ve signed a left back from Bristol City. I somehow doubt if we’d announced two youngsters...

Which would suggest our budget is severely limited, and we’d need to replace 10 players. Say Gyokeres gets an ACL injury whilst in Sweden and we can’t sell what happens then?

I’d disagree somewhat, unlike Chelsea both PSV and Benfica have a linked pathway between their first team and youth academies. time will tell if they’re any good, but I’d be quietly excited at these types of signings

Disagree - Jobe Bellingham would have been greeted well, and the PSV and Benfica signings would be greeted with the same sort of excitement Hamer bought
