Summer window

That’s never Nixon covering his bases is it?

 

Everton forum suggests cannon to boro

 

I think with all the strikers before them that have been linked it's clear the club are planning on him not being here.

I'm at the stage that if he's not 100% commited then replace him with someone that is

 

Does a Stewart sale pay for Cannon or Frijan?

Can we even sell Stewart while he wouldn’t pass a medical?

I’m at the stage now where he may as well be gone cos it’s ****ing with our preparation, seen enough of Hemir to think he will bag a few straight out the gate anyway.

 

I’m wondering why he didn’t put all of league 1 and 2 as well.

 

Unfortunately this is true. Especially for tall players. One of the worst to get over. I did mine thirty odd years ago and I can still feel it.

Mind I was ****e anyway!

 

We bought him while injured but it is different this time due to the injury being one that could be career changing!

 

Yeah I just can’t see it being signed off.

We signed him for next to nowt, we talking millions here. Just can’t see how it happens.

 

Maybe we can dust off Ricky Alvarez’ contract and re-use for the sale?

 

If Stewart goes it won’t be until end august once he’s fit and played

my opinion is we HAVE to sell him this window if he’s not signing the new contact. Otherwise he will be a free somewhere. And I back Hemir and whoever else comes in to be good enough to at least replace some of his goals

 

And assuming Nixon is right (cough). And for the sake of this post I will assume he is purely because it’s something to discuss, then I’d much rather he went to Southampton than Stoke or Boro. Those last 2 would feel like a sidewards step. The Southampton one at least feels like he’s going to a club with parachute payments who can offer more money legitimately and have in theory the best chance of promotion.

(before everyone gets upset I’m not saying Southampton are a bigger club than us)

 

I think this is where KLD comes into play. While there is balancing books and sticking to plans, there is also cash flow. Can we sanction the replacement for Stewart before the sale, if that’s the plan, with KLD covering the risk he’s not fit enough to sell before window closes?

 

We need a second one in before we let Stewart go. We're putting ourselves in a risky position otherwise both in terms of squad depth and negotiating power.

 

For sure, but we also need to protect the club. Crazy that without him being replaced we have learned to live without.

Semedo getting 9 is a sign, we need at least one more for sure.

I think we in the hunt for this creation kid for sure, not convinced we after Cannon.

Leicester getting Caicedi on loan from Chelsea is a big move from them.

 

I'm not convinced we sell Stewart, I think the money that will be offered would be so low it would hardly be worth accepting. It will be £1-2 million imo, as it can only really be this window (he can go to Rangers on a free in January imo or just wait until mext summer when he can go anywhere) and he is unlikely to convince anyone he is completely over his injury in that time.

That kind of money is a loan fee for a player who can get goals like Stewart, so imo the club should keep him anyway and let him see out his contract of that's what he is going to do!

 

I wonder if clubs after Stewart would take all the medical data into consideration if he's not fit enough to pass a full medical? Then structure the deal say small fee up front increasing with games played?

Let's be honest, Stewart wants more money, we won't pay it or break the wage structure (quite right as well) so move him on and get the 2nd striker before the season starts

 

The stats disagree - Arthur Rowley holds the record for the most goals in the history of English league football, scoring 434 from 619 league games.

 

Cannon seems like an obvious target for us to me. We have a good working relationship with Everton and Cannon had a similar record to Simms in the Championship last season. He looks like a better around footballer to me as well. Only a loan mind, I can't believe that we would be ready to offer a big fee for him.

 

So Ross is crocked and will never play again or will never be the same again, however Southampton, Boro & Stoke are after him ! Jesus wept !

 

Watched the boy avarena (hope ive spelt it right) that weve been linked with and i really like him. Could play upfront, as a no10 or wide left. Technically really good, beats opponents with ease but also works really hard. My club have been offered him so we might be looking to sign him

My dream signing from all the players ive watched the last 6 months or so would be brunner of dortmund - the boy has huge potential but dortmund wont sell him so not realistic at all

Another one i would like as a back up to clarke would be sonko, he plays in Sweden currently but only 18 and is a very good winger
