Summer transfer rumours (13 Viewers)

Could be. In my experience lenders arent too keen on favourable rates or cheapness or linking it into anything other than what favours them. But King is obviously astute.

To flip this tho, lenders don’t want businesses or people to not be able to pay the mortgage. Not easy to flip a 32,000 stadium in Coventry not to mention the press.

Since lenders also hate risk, they wouldn’t have bet on cov being in the prem and thus would have to of been affordable for us in the champ.

Genuinely the only way this impacts imo is if king pays it off next year with the prem funds

I’d imagine if we hadn’t bought it rental payments would have gone up on promotion but I’d expect mortgage costs to remain the same so if anything it would have less impact.

We need to try and emulate Sunderland and Leeds. Physical players from abroad, play to earn points rather than to entertain. Whatever we do please don’t do an Ipswich or Luton and spaff all the money on the best of the rest from the Championship.

Luton didn't really spend anything tbh.

Dunno about that, £5 million on Ryan ‘Roberto Carlos’ Giles

Even more reason to avoid their ‘strategy’ like the plague!

Think it’s quite relevant that the only player that either Sunderland or Leeds signed from the Championship was James Justin who was signed from newly-relegated Leicester.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

At this price I’d make a move for him

I think it's quite a basic way of looking at it, there's good players in the Championship. The main reason to avoid the English market in general is the giant fees that get put on players' heads over here. You get better value overseas for sure. I don't really see us bringing in more than 1 or 2 Champ players at tops, we'll be smarter with our recruitment.

For that price? Yes please.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

For that price? Yes please.

ye easy sign. sell torp or eccles and spend the additional £6m or so.

then another cm to replace allen

They put all the money into the stadium if I’m not wrong. Not looking like the best decision right now

We just desperately need a Moroccan to truly complete the comeback. Doug probably too tight to go for Hakimi.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Thomas is our only CB who has a chance of cutting it at prem level. If any of the other 3 get any time on the pitch I’d be worried.

a very good championship midfielder but we should be looking at better

 

[SleepyGinger]

Where do we think some of our lot will go?

Could see Allen at Lincoln
Simms to Wolves
Bidwell to Leicester

Simms will end up at Sheffield United, they reckon it’s almost a certainty

I could see that transfer happening to be fair

Have they got £10m?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He wouldnt cost that

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Have they got £10m?

Yes they are one of the richest clubs in the league with the owners they have

 

[SleepyGinger]

That’s what I’d be asking for

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He wouldnt cost that

I’d say 8 million

 

[SleepyGinger]

How are they with FFP? Don’t seem to be throwing cash about these days

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

God knows, they do have very very rich owners though

 

[SleepyGinger]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Boro went for him if they don’t go up, they’ll have money to spend when Hackney goes

 

[shmmeee]

I really want us to sign two new CBs but it’s probably unlikely. I can see a justification for upgrading every player we’ve got tbh. I think if we see quality we can afford we should go get it. Quite excited to see what we’ve got lined up.

 

[ddsdube]

Hopefully boro will base their scouting purely on the goal he scored at their place!

Depends on the interest agreed and the term. Could be cheap in line with the clubs incomings depending on the above factors.

Having no knowledge I’d assume it was budgeted for us in the championship so it wouldn’t have a huge bearing on next year

It doesn’t look to be mortgaged in the traditional sense. The charge held over the stadium (well, the head-lease) is in the name of FRS Estates which is a subsid of Fraser’s. More likely we have it on some kind of scheduled buyout from Fraser’s.

What a load of garbage no they're not.

Maybe loan a couple of the youngsters to Leicester for some lower league experience?

Loam them monga back when he’s refused to sign pro terms and comes here.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we could get

£8m for Simms
£5m for Torp/Eccles
£8m for Kitching & Woolf
£6/7m for BTA

That would be some cracking business tbh.

Thats near £30m there to reinvest.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Luton didn't really spend anything tbh.

Luton did not want to mortgage their future.

 

[SkyBluePower]

At least 2 years in League one is a mortgage on their future.
