I think that's showing in Euros~£17m is oft cited and is the figure used by eg. transfermarkt. I cannot vouch for reliability. Gustavo Hamer - Transfer history
We've lost 1 game so far and arguably should've won that ( or at least not lost )No I just want us to replace our best player with the 17 million we’ve accrued
sheaf Kelly and Eccles isn’t enough
I feel the same, the squad needs more additions.Yeah of course I realise that, and I realise we’ve come a hell of a long way, I will always support Robins and the team but I just want us to be competing at the top of the league. We’re so close to having a proper full squad it’ll just be a real shame if we can’t get in a proper quality CM. I wouldn’t be complaining if we hadn’t sold Vik & Gus but when you look at the squad atm and the last couple performances I can’t help but feel we’re lacking. I just want us to be a real force this season that’s all.
I think this is an odd take.We have. The stipulation of both going was the money was recieved in full bar add ons (in installments of course)
None of this like we did for Simms, it was £35 million for both Vik and Gus
We've spent £20million. Absolutely no excuse for me if he doesnt spend a few million on a CM
Alternatively you spend on someone who can develop up to his level in a few years. It just looks like we assumed he wouldn’t go this summer or at least didn’t plan on it.I feel the same, the squad needs more additions.
But spending for spending’s sake won’t help us. We have to be smart, identifying someone who can replace Hamer for 1/3 of the price isn’t easy is it? If they don’t feel they’ve found that then I’d rather they keep looking and move in Jan or next summer than just go and get whoever in.
Spaffing £30m on flops, bloating the wage budget and then missing promotion is a recipe for collapse.
We will probably signed someone tomorrow and this place will be full of posts about how shit he is
So we got £15m up front for Gus did we? No clauses/add-ons? Others are saying differently!We have. The stipulation of both going was the money was recieved in full bar add ons (in installments of course)

Yeah they're notoriously unreliable.~£17m is oft cited and is the figure used by eg. transfermarkt. I cannot vouch for reliability. Gustavo Hamer - Transfer history
The long term plan looks great , we've signed a number of young players on 4 Yr deals with an aim of reaching the promised land
The trouble is that some of our fans have unrealistic expectations and want it now
That's not how it works
So the stipulation was a fee plus add ons was the total fee?The stipulation of both going was the money was recieved in full bar add ons
I think this is an odd take.
It is perfectly possible we have tried repeatedly to spend good money on a midfielder but have been blown away on wages, or by a higher rated team. That is football. I can excuse that.
don’t get me wrong I’ll be frustrated and disappointed but I understand that it’s a credible outcome ….
I don't believe for a second that we got £35m up front for Vik and Gus. Not in today's world of FFP and accounting trickery.We have. The stipulation of both going was the money was recieved in full bar add ons (in installments of course)

Someone like Ben Sheaf?Yeah I suppose I was being a bit hasty but I still find it baffling that out of all the players from all the leagues in Europe we haven’t managed to sign one defensive CM, doesn’t have to be exactly like Hamer, just someone with a decent level of quality that maybe we can train up or add depth to our squad. There must be 100’s of CM options out there around the £4-£8 million bracket, surely?
The Gyokeres deal is out in the open.I don't believe for a second that we got £35m up front for Vik and Gus. Not in today's world of FFP and accounting trickery.
Where exactly?The Gyokeres deal is out in the open.
Scout through this site and you'll find the relevant links to where it is. I'd suggest starting on the monster Gyokeres thread.Where exactly?

Would be too good to be true, us getting it all up front for any sales but oh, everyone we sign is just a few million with the rest when we win the Prem...I don't believe for a second that we got £35m up front for Vik and Gus. Not in today's world of FFP and accounting trickery.
Someone to work alongside Ben Sheaf, got no problem with Sheaf but I think we need someone of similar ability to work alongside him, then Eccles can step in whenever needed, rather than relying on him week in week out.Someone like Ben Sheaf?
I'm not scouring a thread for it. I know for a fact it wasn't £20m, because it was 20m EUR. And that won't have been all one payment.Scout through this site and you'll find the relevant links to where it is. I'd suggest starting on the monster Gyokeres thread.
Well you'll have to take my word for that it's out there it as I'm not looking for it again for your benefit.I'm not scouring a thread for it.
We've literally bid 4 million for Kitching today it seems. I don't think we're just sitting on the money. Expect to see CB and CM come in tomorrow.

Yeah, works out about £17m. It'll be in installments but we'll be spending in installments too.I'm not scouring a thread for it. I know for a fact it wasn't £20m, because it was 20m EUR. And that won't have been all one payment.
Out of all the players, all the leagues, all the free agents.... there is more shit available than quality. Signing someone is not the problem, it is sourcing the right character, with the right quality, in the right position, at the right price, from a team willing to sell and the player wants to join us.Yeah I suppose I was being a bit hasty but I still find it baffling that out of all the players from all the leagues in Europe we haven’t managed to sign one defensive CM, doesn’t have to be exactly like Hamer, just someone with a decent level of quality that maybe we can train up or add depth to our squad.

It was base fee €20m rising to €24m. 15% sell on going down to 10% if he gets the incentives.I'm not scouring a thread for it. I know for a fact it wasn't £20m, because it was 20m EUR. And that won't have been all one payment.
You know if we up our bid for Kitching then there will be so many negative comments. Can't win either way sometimes.Yeah and also just because we have money doesn't mean we that we should overpay for the players we want.
You're desperate to replace Hamer with a defensive midfielder?I still find it baffling that out of all the players from all the leagues in Europe we haven’t managed to sign one defensive CM, doesn’t have to be exactly like Hamer, just someone with a decent level of quality that maybe we can train up or add depth to our squad.
Yet it is constantly rounded up to £20m (NOT EUROS) when it comes to what we have to spend!It was base fee €20m rising to €24m. 15% sell on going down to 10% if he gets the incentives.
Yeah fair I just expected out of all the 100’s of CMs in all the leagues around the world we’d have signed one of them that’s all. I’d have loved it if there was a perfect Hamer replacement but if there genuinely isn’t one out there then it doesn’t have to be Hamer quality right this minute but someone with potential that we can train up and just add depth to our squad when we get tired or injured, even someone at £2-£3 mil would help us out, always good to have options that’s all.Out of all the players, all the leagues, all the free agents.... there is more shit available than quality.
