Summer transfer rumours (38 Viewers)

Yeah. Nearly 8m in wages for 1 season is a bargain

Whilst im not suggesting this is going to happen, or that its even on the cards. To suggest that getting one of the best goalkeepers at the very highest of levels of all time for £8m (which let's be honest, isnt necessarily what he would be asking just because its what hes on now. Hes actually weighing up retirement. £8m to retirement is £0m. £8m to say 50% of that for one last season is £4m.)

Even if it stays at £8m, we need to sign a keeper for next season. We cant throw Dovin straight back in in the PL. Wilson wont cut anything higher than 3rd choice. We need at least 1 keeper signed, if not 2. £10-15m for a new keeper, plus £1-2m in wages, is still a lot more than £8m in wages for the very much tried and tested Nauer.

I'll never understand why so many on here get so hung up on "high wages" of players as an immediate reason to not sign them. Without actually putting a bit of thought in to it and looking at it from a different angle. And a free signing on £8m who we all know is more than qualified is definitely a good shout if we fail to sign Rushworth permanently (who none of us know how he'll get on at PL level).

Also, if he keeps us up next season in the same way that Rushwworth has saved us numerous points this season, then yeah.... £8m would be an absolute fucking bargain!

Second to Lampard getting something extra from the group the prime reason we’re actually going up is identifying Gyokeres and Hamer for peanuts and selling them on. There’s plenty of evidence our scouting is fine.

You could add Sheaf to that list too. That particular scouting team brought him in and we sold him on for much bigger bucks

 

[SBAndy]

doubt it as he's out of contract this summer.

He isn’t; signed a new contract til 2030.

I’m wondering if Christian Norgaard may be available.

Is it worth raiding Celtic for some like Keiran Tierney? He'd surely fancy another crack at the premier league?

way too injury prone

For clarity the scouting team that brought in everyone after King came in is not the one that was here before (coincidence they left just before King took over). Hamer, Sheaf, Gyokeres, O’Hare, etc were all Badlan. Austin is MvE, Wright, Simms, Kitching, EMC etc

was that a recent thing? I saw him on a list of players out of contract in the summer a week or two ago.

Correct. Which is why I suggested Sheaf could be added to the list

Doug bring me this man

He does look good and even if he doesn't work out, Kevin Denkey easily turns into Kevin Donkey for a forum pile on thread.
