True. It’s not clear whether that has changed with the size of the Vik / Hamer transfers …Robins said previously that his budget will be similar to last year.
I'm pretty sure that they expected to take something resembling a squad to Portugal and to be going into Forest Green with maybe not a full line up but also a not a patchwork quilt either.I’m not sure that is a reasonable interpretation of that. By the end of today we may have our 5th signing through the door with 6 weeks still to go in the window. How many did you expect at this stage ?
That's no way to run any business. Gus and Vik were always going to be sold.True. It’s not clear whether that has changed with the size of the Vik / Hamer transfers …
I’d imagine it has, they’re not going to say it in public though.True. It’s not clear whether that has changed with the size of the Vik / Hamer transfers …
I wouldn't mind seeing 3 or 4 come in with the Hamer money, obviously McNally as part of the deal then
Willock Qpr 3m. Cannon Everton 4m, with the change to be spent on a Rwb and Lcb, without touching the Vik money
We'll know soon enough.It’s exactly the way actually/. Have a financial plan that you alter if your finances materially alter.
If someone offers 15m he has to go. We need a more balanced squad not relying on 2 superstars. Look at the final as soon as we lost Gus it was over. It didn’t matter Luton lost Lockyer or changed players as they were all of similar quality.
We balance the squad with the Gyokeres money, that's more than enough to do some serious damage. Eventually you have to at least try and keep some of your better players and build off it, not flog them off and start again.If someone offers 15m he has to go.

something went wrong - listen to the new goalkeeper interview, said been waiting for a few weeks, so clearly no cash and waiting for the Vik money. Therefore the balance of the Vik money will probably be banked - we will need to sell Gus and reinvest all of that in such caseI'm pretty sure that they expected to take something resembling a squad to Portugal and to be going into Forest Green with maybe not a full line up but also a not a patchwork quilt either.
You do but to do that you need players on long term contracts. Hamer has 1 yr left.We balance the squad with the Gyokeres money, that's more than enough to do some serious damage.

If Hamer leaves there's very little left of a team that did very well last season.

I don't see the Gus money being reinvested immediately either. Both the Vik and Gus will be drip fed over 4 years or so. We're always limited ulimately by the wage bill, which is a problem that comes with not owning the stadium and the impact on potential revenue streams.something went wrong - listen to the new goalkeeper interview, said been waiting for a few weeks, so clearly no cash and waiting for the Vik money.

Yes I know, I mean we try to tie him down. If he won't sign then of course you sell for 15 million. I'm saying, for me, the money is not the preferable option.You do but to do that you need players on long term contracts. Hamer has 1 yr left.

And while I'm ranting, the quote I keep fucking seeing 'we were over reliant on 2 players, therefore for some reason it's a good thing to get rid of those 2 players' is the most batshit shit I've ever heard. It makes no sense.same here. We have 17m up front from the Vik sale. For once in our lives we don’t need the money but we would all love success. Hamer is our star man and more so now Vik has left. Simms up front is an excellent replacement but we need more fire power than him.
As said before how can we expect anything to change and challenge again if we sell our best two players by far last season. Yes 30/35m but the we will be lucky to see half that.
im sure I have faults in my theory buts what’s more demoralising when the team loses its star 2 players.
So you would rather piss away 15 million and lose him for free them in a year?And while I'm ranting, the quote I keep fucking seeing 'we were over reliant on 2 players, therefore for some reason it's a good thing to get rid of those 2 players' is the most batshit shit I've ever heard.

Can accept losing Vik and reinvesting, but Hamer too... its a no from me.

Mate I really can't help you. Is this a shit attempt at a gotcha? I can't get on board with the thinking of many that him leaving is somehow a good thing because we can improve the squad, when we already have plenty of money from Vik. If for whatever reason he doesn't want to stay then obviously we have to sell. Now leave me alone please.You said losing hamer was a no from you. You also said we have to seel if he doesn't sign a contract. You can't have both. So whch is it? Simple question really
Yeh I know I agree, I literally said this aboveIf he signs, turn down the money; if he won't we have to take it, otherwise the following season we'll be in a much worse position going forward.
No ones offered anything and there's still a chance he signs a new contract, yet there's still people out in force wishing he was gone yesterday. Crazy stuff.Who is offering £15million ?
In my opinion Hamer has a decision to make, stay here and spearhead a promotion challenge or move on to a Burnley or a Forest and be part of a relegation fight with its implications such as in and out the team, possible managerial changes etc.
Either way Robins needs to know and soon, he will have a with Hamer plan and a without Hamer plan. There’s still nearly three weeks to go for the big kick off and seven until the window closes we have brought in five and will bring in a few more either permanent or loans I’m confident we will at least emulate last season.

Probably, I think we all told ourselves for a while that he wouldn't, but realistically, unless we get him on a new contract it's a poor business decision for city to turn down 15-20m for a player on his last year. Even with Hamer there's no guarantee of a promotion push, especially this season. Love him to stay, but he will likely be offered silly money in the Prem and a player of his quality should aspire to play at the top level.Hes gonna go isnt he>?
