Summer '24 transfer window

FFS, he likes his beer then.

 

What's the max you would go on fee and wage, out of curiosity.

 

A lot of factors here.

If the club are increasing the wage cap and he ends up being on a decent one then I couldn't care less.

Fee wise, i'd say 4.5m maximum. Depends on the club but if they want more than 4-5m I can see why they might not go ahead with it

 

I had two thoughts about this. The first was F^ck and after some musing I decided my second thought was Off.

 

On that showing he looks as though he could be our missing link. Strong, can hold the ball up well and moves the ball quickly when required.

 

“We need a striker who’s not a kid and has experience!”

Linked with striker who’s scored an unreal amount of goals in French ligue 2

“Not him. Too old. Boo.”

 

Ballard not in any of the training photo's from Spain like...unless I'm blind.

Hopefully I'm reading too much into that.

 

I agree, but maybe the quality and quantity available in the striker market at the moment is so small that we feel we have to go for it. We've possibly gambled on waiting till later in the window for the past two seasons and ended up disappointed, so we don't want to be in the same position again. Just guessing, of course.

 

31 have travelled and I can only count 12 in the photos they just posted, so quite a few are missing

 

19 players are leaving?

 

I think you might be.

 

We aren't going into this pre-season training with 19 players missing mate.....chill out!

 

not all players will be out at the same time,
some will be doing differenet training from others

 

sensible lad. Going to Saudi is a last chance saloon. **** that , I say.

 

Ha that was my point. just because players arent in photos, doesnt mean they're leaving

 

Yes....they all hate us,KS and KLD.....can't stand the weather and are hoping for lucrative moves to Oxford.

 

I've gone through every photo and video (yes, I'm that sad, and bored at work...even did a spreadsheet haha)...

The only players not to have been pictured or caught on video yet are Ballard, Triantis, Seelt, and Huggins.

Triantis has a knock, and Seelt and Huggins are long term injuries.

So unless Ballard also has a knock, he's the only one missing.

 

I’m sure Clarke was missing from pics last year and we all got the same paranoia

 

Ballard and Triantis are having specialist coaching........Seelt and Huggins are in recovery physio.

 

Seelt and Huggins separate training, Triantis missed last weekend due to a slight injury, did Ballard take a knock at Gateshead?
