Summer window

Sorry, we had just been promoted.

 

£8 million for Cannon seems high, but is probably the going rate for young, English strikers with championship experience.

Personally I'd have had Simms back

 

If they want £8m for him then it makes the (rumoured) £15m valuation of Clarke look ridiculously low.

Personally I think the Ukrainian lad will be in by the middle of the week.

 

We will be nowhere near the bottom 6

 

Man U signed Hojlund for over £70m, lad is 20 and only scored 9 in 32 last season…prices like that are having a knock on effect with all strikers.

Im certain we will get someone decent in on a loan though.

 

I agree with this mate, £20m at least in todays market. Think originally he went for £10m to spurs and he has definitely improved by more than 50%. Price should reflect that (plus his long contract).

 

Yeah that seems like it’s fairly advanced given the Instagram thing the other day, still find it mad that’s how we find out about signings these day, I miss frantically trying to read teletext before the page changed so you didn’t have wait for it to come back round again

 

My worry with the cannon deal is that Everton with use him in a part ex

 

He is worth a sizeable fee unlike Ellis Simms £8 m to Coventry... The lad (Wright) who replaced Simm's yesterday is a far better player. I'll not be surprised to see him start next week

 

That’s partly true, though he was much older. It’s possible they’ll also come good though there was less quality in that league. No bother signing players to develop as long as we have a first 18 or so fit for purpose.

 

Assuming Cannon is our main focus along with the Ukrainian and links to van hoojdonk wide of the mark?

 

Not sure where we are with that one. Interest but don't have any update on it.

 

He’d played for us in that division for 2 whole seasons, featured and scored in the premier league the year before and a handful of games in the championship at 17 the year before that. Waaay more experienced and proven.

 

But transfer fees have gone through the roof in that space of time.

The problem is that 8m is nowt for Premiership teams, yet it's unaffordable to most Championship teams

 

It seems people are keen to ignore the existence of Hemir and Mayenda, or denigrate their possible talent, in case it dilutes their indignation..

 

We’d been promoted and he was clearly an absolute talent, Cannon looks decent but Bridges would have been a regular international but for injury. Cannon will be in a similar ball park to Simms though.

 

That’s the biggest issue, it’s going to become almost impossible to make the premier league without flying very close to the FFP rules. The gap is going to be insurmountable.

Give it a couple of years and a some big clubs will go bust.

 

I think Rusyn is probably a done deal pretty much and that Cannon is still number one CF target but by no means guaranteed.

 

Stoke rumoured to be using the money they got for brown to try get cannon on a perm

 

For Clarke?
