Transfer Rumours Summer transfer rumours 2023

I omitted DCC because it’s basically a loan & commitment to buy end of season but you’re right regarding Salisu; £10m profit?

 

Nah because like Max Arrons it’ll be all #carpetrug.

 

100%

 

Depends on what kind of profit you mean. Between 5 and 10m on fees paid and received. But he would have been in our accounts at about 2.75m. So FFP profit of the transfer fee minus that. I’m sure loyalty fee is also deducted from that net figure as well

But I assume you mean the former

 

Wade has never pretended to be ITK. Saint Garret maybe, not his brother Wade though.

 

Just get it done

 

Rather a permanent deal tbh.

 

Maybe player doesn't want that. TBH I'd be happy with a loan with an option to buy if we go up.

 

Well I won't miss him. He was never all that much anyway.

That would be fair enough.

 

I’d be surprised if Downes wanted to give up on his boyhood club after just 1yr at a relatively young age, especially for a second division side.

A loan would be all good with me.

 

Yeah sort of. None of us know all the behind the scenes purchase & sales packages but just trying to state it’s definitely not the selling price of €18m or whatever.

 

Probably down to what west ham decide. If they tell him he isn't in their plans, which is likely with JWP & Alvarez arriving, and that they want to cash in then it could happen. Especially as he has thrived under Martin before.

 

Think he’d still rather the loan, hope he has a good season with us and West Ham change their mind/puts himself more in the shop window for another PL move

 

Or we sign him properly when we go up ourselves

 

Hold on, did Armstrong get a slight touch on that

 

The worst part for me is that we have lost yet more experience.

Even if you don’t rate him as a player like a few on here, there is no denying that he has been our talisman. He has been the leader of the team and even the reason certain players have chosen to come to saints.

I think there was a real void of leadership/experience/connection with the club even with him here. But with him gone as well we are so short of leadership.

That is a real concern
