I think that will be the goal but we’d end up selling for less if nobody comes in, especially now with KKH.

Yeah probably although I’d wait a year and have them both sides of the CB unless they’ve gave the above amountI think that will be the goal but we’d end up selling for less if nobody comes in, especially now with KKH.
Absolutely nothing unfortunately. Haven't for a few days now.
Get topic back on track though, anything on the Belgian striker? There's stuff going round online saying we have agreed a £5.5 million transfer for him.
Yeah ( at least the journo talking about it bit)By Belgian striker, are we talking Adriano Bertaccini?
January always a tough market for buying and selling tbf.Thought a while ago we’d get about £8m for MvE. I think we saw in Jan no one was willing to go to £10m.
Hanging by a threadYou tell us mate you’re the man in the know
Let’s just do it in house when we land in Portugal imo.One thing that I think is absolutely WILD is that we haven’t had our end of season awards ceremony.
People have now left the club, new people have arrived so it would be weird to do it now.
In my opinion, I feel the awards hold weight in the transfer market, like KKH’s did.
Let’s say MVE won an award, it would attract a bit more attention/value.
Very odd that we have started pre season for the next season and still not done the award night from the season prior

I think ultimately what bothers me most on this forum, and its not aimed at you but I've seen a lot of it recently, is people fawning over other business and doing ours down. I know Kvistgaarden is popular on here but on the face of it, Bertaccini is 1 year older and has a similar goal record last season in a far better league. He's also cheaper so if we can get it done it could end up being a very smart move.If that’s the price we should have got Kvistgaarden instead who’s going to Norwich for a bit more. Believe it’s somewhere between £8-12m but haven’t seen what the final number is landing as.
If it’s £8m then Kvistgaarden all day long

I’m just happy to get an expensive striker to be honest. Still remember when our marquee signing was Cody McDonaldI think ultimately what bothers me most on this forum, and its not aimed at you but I've seen a lot of it recently, is people fawning over other business and doing ours down.

We also constantly have people stating Brau has a big step up while jacking it to signings from Bundesliga 2. It may be trendy with Championship fans but German and Spanish second divisions are rated exactly the same by Opta.
Basically I've seen it all before, last time Birminghams business was hammed up so much on here they got relegated. Stoke have been a poster boy a couple of summers on here and they are total shite and have about 2 players I'd take. Norwich... who gives a fuck, we can't sign all the players, others clubs will make good signings.
Let's just see what we do, I fancy we'll be satisfied at the end of it and I currently wouldn't switch our squad for any of the above.

One of the reasons I'm annoyed that both Hollywood clubs came up is because I could see us being able to offload Bidwell onto a promoted club like Stockport or Wycombe for a small fee. Very experienced at this level, model professional, still solid just not quite good enough for top end of the table.Bidwell will stick in as long as he can but if Brau settles quickly Bidwell will be 4th of 5th in the pecking order. Bidwell seems a very good pro and will have a decent attitude to work hard. But this window or Jan i can see him being moved on, as i can Binks.

Quality wummingWhat relevance is the fact it was a free transfer? We still failed to keep him?
If MVE stays then we’ve just blown 4m on a back up right back, which is probably worse than him leaving. More delusion.
I’m so glad King turned up because Sisu would have sold Gyokeres and Hamer in the same window. They wouldn’t have even replaced Hamer in the window… oh wait
Which is why it would be amazing to get another one. I probably worded that wrong but I meant I’d be excited to get anyone of quality not wanting to spend more on someone elseWe only got an expensive striker in a couple of seasons ago (Wright)
January is a limited opportunity, there's not a lot of wheeling and dealing to be done and the games come thick and fast.Thought a while ago we’d get about £8m for MvE. I think we saw in Jan no one was willing to go to £10m.
One last push to see if the club can win the playoffs or better. Nothing to lose, everything to gain and if it doesn't come off then a new contract somewhere to see out his 20's.I think there is a scenario where MVE stays at the club this summer. Obviously there is a lot of interest in him, but the club aren’t under pressure to sell MVE.
Would be interesting to see from FL’s perspective that should the window close and we still have MVE, how would Lampard fit both into his system. We’ve seen MVE can play further forward and KKH can play on the left too.
Calm down - it's not that WILD - who is actually bothered on here about seeing who won what? We don't all go to the end of season awards anyway plus they don't get any attention whatsoever outside of the club itself - no other club would care
Not really but the only likely scenario is an injury to Kitch or Binks while the team is playing 3 at the back.If Bidwell ends up playing any games at CB this year something has gone majorly wrong
Totally agree and I think going into this season with the squad and the management team, all the stuff off the field, etc, we have never been in a better position to give this a real go.One last push to see if the club can win the playoffs or better.

Lampard sees Wright more as a striker and not as a winger
If rumours are to be believed Wright wants to play as a striker and with EMC fit I think Lampard wanted him too as well.I wonder if he does or whether it's just that he saw him as our best option at CF given that Simms, BTA and Bassette weren't exactly banging the goals in for fun and (when fit) EMC is a good option at LW.
Is there any indication that Lampard sees that as a preferred formation?Not really but the only likely scenario is an injury to Kitch or Binks while the team is playing 3 at the back.

no, no it wouldn't have any effect on a players transfer valueWe seemed to care that KKH won all of Preston’s awards.
It would hold ‘some’ weight in a transfer value

KKH hasn't been signed as coverWouldn’t be that disappointed if we didn’t do anything else, maybe another centre half as cover, but we’ve filled what we needed, cover for MVE and a left back, we scored enough last season, just conceded too many, we look better already, wouldn’t be far off again with the current squad
“We”, as in fans, cared.We seemed to care that KKH won all of Preston’s awards.

How do you know ? if we don’t sell MVE he’s either back up or starts LB ? Wanted squad depth,we’ve got itKKH hasn't been signed as cover
Wright and Simms were expensive strikersI’m just happy to get an expensive striker to be honest. Still remember when our marquee signing was Cody McDonald
