Statement signings if we go up? (32 Viewers)

[CovRes]

Deadly Doug can try and squeeze someone close to the amount we paid for him i'm sure. He has a knack for it.

Don't the German club have an option on him? That usually, although not always, means that a fee has been agreed.

How would you have an option without an agreed fee?

 

[Martw]

Can see the following leaving. Think we get good money for Torp and Simms, can see Wolves being interested in Kitch.

Bidwell
Brau
Woolf or Kitch
Lati
Torp
Allen
Andrews
BTA
Simms
Rapha
Bassette

Id be keeping Andrews for certain, young and would make a fair bit of money from the academy. for me he needs to go to League 1 or lower champ next season on a loan. maybe somebody like Posh?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Andrews will definitely stay. We need homegrown players in the squad, he coats little and still has potential.

 

[CovRes]

It's basically first refusal.

 

[baldy]

Chris McCann wasnt it left in January?

Or was it Andy Rose? Played for Seattle Sounders too

I remember Rose being shite and McCann and Sordell being the shining lights for a shite team

In terms of outgoings I can see
Collins (Released)
Woolfenden (1m-4m)
Latibeaudiere (1m-4m)
Bidwell (nominal fee)
Brau (loan)
Torp (7m-12m)
Andrews (loan)
Esse (Return to Palace)
Min-Hyeok (Return to Spurs)
Thomas-Asante (7m-12m)
Raphael (nominal fee)
Bassette (1m-2m)

Maybe:
Simms (10m-13m)
Rushworth (Return to Brighton)

 

[wingy]

I was getting confused with surnames thought it was the one who was sold or poached by Stoke and off our wage bill!🫣

 

[Balli001]

Won't be signing Michael Keane amyway he just signed a contract extension

I agree with most of that, but I’d be surprised if we get north of 7m for Torp and BTA. And Simms more likely £5m, in my opinion.

 

[Batu1969]

I hope Doug doesn’t spend more than £35m on transfers, unless extra comes from player sales.

 

[SleepyGinger]

I hope Doug doesn’t spend more than £35m on transfers, unless extra comes from player sales.

Why?

 

[Paxman II]

I hope Doug doesn’t spend more than £35m on transfers, unless extra comes from player sales.

Again you live in a fantasy world. We will need to spend way beyond that or we will indeed fail to stay up. We are lucky we don't have to spend over 200m as we have a very capable squad now, but it needs strengthening.

You’re right on the first part - but this squad as good a championship side it is, needs a lot of work to bring it to prem standard

 

[shmmeee]

That’s a guaranteed relegation costing us tens of millions, why would you hope that?

I dont think we’d take a loss on Simms

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I dont think we’d take a loss on Simms

We arent gonna get £13m for him

 

[lowblocklounge]

Andrews will definitely stay. We need homegrown players in the squad, he coats little and still has potential.

Most of our squad is homegrown. I believe the rule is trained in England/Wales for 3 seasons before turning 21. It’s only club trained for UEFA competitions

Who isn’t then?

Milan, Onyeka, Saka, Wright, Dovin, Bassette, Raphael . Anyone else?

Torp as well but I think that’s the only other missing.

Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland?

 

[CovRes]

Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland?

No. Only clubs that are members of the English or Welsh leagues.
