Summer '24 transfer window

Hilarious how Downie doesn’t even do his checks.

He wasn’t at Zurich last season.

 

I'd love us to sign a starting centre half and have O'Nien as cover for every single defensive position

 

100% - footballers are real people and they put down roots. Being close to "home" and family/friends is an important thing to consider.

 

RLB has already said we won't be signing a RB

Hume
O'Nien
Ballard
Alese
Hjelde
Triantis
Cirkin
Johnson

Is adequate cover IMHO with Seelt and Huggins to join the group in the new year

 

Can't see it, but I hope Jack plays on Saturday and gets the send off he deserves. Been some player for us.

Think we'll get 20mill then add ons.

Looking forward to seeing how we spend it. Not looking forward to the fume when we don't spunk 20mill on one player.

 

This Simic deal really is exciting, isn’t it. Can’t claim to have seen the lad play, but to have champions league goal, assist and MOTM under his belt is pretty impressive. Hopefully we get it over the line and enjoy watching him playing for the lads soon…

 

Google his name and look in the News section if you really want to get excited, some cracking write up’s about him.

 

If sky sports are reporting it’s usually because it’s at the business end

 

Romano 'here we go' tweet in 10.....9.....8.....

 

Wonder if we get one from downie about Isidor

 

Now this is me just spitballing and thinking outside of the box.

Could we accept money plus a player for Clarke? It would obviously reduce our fee but also Spurs' cut plus we'd also get someone in.

 

Don't quote me on this, but I think player exchanges still have to have a monetary value placed on each player. So (for example) Clarke would be valued at £25m and someone like Broadhead at £7m and we'd still have to pay Spurs 25% of the £25m

 

Ah, never knew that.

 

O'Nien is was of the first names on the team sheet, he's a very good player

 

If they didn't do this, then it could be seen as tax avoidance or attempting to navigate the FFP rules.

 

Disagree, last few seasons have seen us desperately short at centre half. Think We’ve played Hume, O’Nien, Cirkin, Alese, Seelt, Triantis, Ballard, Hjelde, Anderson at some point last season. We need five in my view.

Decent interview here with Simic from October last year

 

We have 6.

2 of them are injured right now, but 1 is back in a week

 

How many games is Ballard out for

 

RLB says he might be back for Portsmouth but I reckon it will be after the international break. Why risk him?
