Summer '24 transfer window

[TopCat.]

We have wasted money though. My point shows this.

Of course we have. Every club does

 

[SourPatch2]

Wasn’t simms £3.5m upfront?

Yep, which is more than Rusyn (about £2.1m) and Hjelde (£1m).

Yep, which is more than Rusyn (about £2.1m) and Hjelde (£1m).

and we don’t know for sure how much of those fees were upfront either

 

[SourPatch2]

Does like. Or very close. Through Hemir in and it does. 3 **** filler players for 1 starter. That's where we need to change

Until we sell players we will continue to shop in the lower fee market which leads to a lower success rate. We need to focus on the crux of the issue that we are poor at selling.

 

[SourPatch2]

and we don’t know for sure how much of those fees were upfront either

Yep, considering things that have came out about other signings being extremely low initial fees and filled with add ons I wouldn't be surprised if they were both much lower, especially Hjelde.

Yep, which is more than Rusyn (about £2.1m) and Hjelde (£1m).

not to mention wages

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

Not for £4.5m. Doesn't have a good enough goalscoring record for that sort of money

Load of bollocks that

 

[Southern A]

I think £4.5m is a great price for Conway for Boro when you see some of the other fees going about. We need to sell someone (ideally Ekwah) so we can start spending amounts like that.

 

[SourPatch2]

They sold Akpom and brought in Latte Latth in for 4m, and he is now worth about 3 times that amount. Pretty good buisness as far as i can see. They now have Conway in to play upfront. These are the teams we are competing against and we currently dont even have one striker that looks like being able to score over 5 goals this season.

Yep we have no chance until we start to sell players. People talk about not wanting to be a selling club but how on earth do you compete otherwise? I'd sell any of our players tomorrow if it led to improving the squad.

Yes.

We made a huge profit on Stewart last season though?

And spent more than we brought in.

Scores 1 in 4 at this level. You happy with 11 goals a season for £4.5m?

 

[TopCat.]

Yes.

Ignoring the add-ons like someone paying the minimum amount every month on their credit card.

 

[LD19SAFC]

And spent more than we brought in.

Which is scandalous when you look at who was signed.

 

[Frazier the Lion]

By not spending money on Rusyn and Hjelde. Would have paid unitial fee.

That’s still as facile an argument as it was the last twelve times you made it, mind.

Factoring in age, his potential and the current market.

Players score 20 goals in this league and go for 20 million nowadays.

 

[SourPatch2]

Outside of Jobe who will be this clubs highest ever sale I agree, but shows the need to get into the next bracket of fees for players to reduce the risk.

 

[Prehab26]

That’s still as facile an argument as it was the last twelve times you made it, mind.

I don't think it is. We have spent what we have on poorer, players who are not robust for the championship.

None of which guarantees Conway will ever score 20 in a season
