30,000 free season tickets to watch 11 academy kids try their best week in, week out against the world's highest paid footballers....oh and Burnley
£50+million for an injury prone cold ridden tennager and a player who cant las 90 minutes is great business. (trying hard to be optimistic)
QPR signed players whose sole motivating factor was money and they signed something ridiculous like 20 odd players in a year. I honestly don't think we will make that much of a mess. I'm sure we will continue to sign players who are on the way up and want to be here (for the moment at least). Gelling a team together will be tough, but pre-season has not started yet. FWIW GK - Fraser Forster LB - Timothy Kolo CB - Bruno Indi CB - De Vreijs AM - Rafa Silva AM - Tadic ST - Ings ST - Pelle This is assuming Lovren and Morgan both leave with Osvaldo too. 6 players out, 8 in, transfer debt covered, training ground paid for. New team to build on and finances to strengthen in future windows
15 mill grenier 8 mill pelle 5 mill ings 8 mill indi 7 mill finnbogason 5 mill butland/leali 2 mill vestergaard 3 mill bakkali 3 mill willems Guly back in £56 Million
Definitely Willems and Ings. Also I don't think Finnbogason is up to much. Oh and he's gone to Sociedad.
£5-6m on Forster, £7m Pelle, £6m on Ings, £9.6m on Tadić, £4m on Kolodziejczak, £6m on Astori. If Lovren goes, it'd be worth to look at Victor Ruiz or Van Dijk. If Morgan goes, Jordy Clasie would be perfect. Maybe even Gary Medel. Know it's a big list, but perhaps January might be used. It'd be sensible for the board to at least try and convince Morgan and Dejan to stay, even if it is just until next summer, to ease the rebuilding job.
Fair enough But he did score 29 goals last season, admittedly in the eredivisie but good goalscorers tend to score goals in whatever league they play in... just look at rickie!
Would always feel more comfortable with Either British or EPL experienced foreigners so we don't have to go through the usual excuses of "it's takes time for them to acclimatise to the way of life in England and the speed of the EPL". We won't have time to bed players in they will need to hit the floor running.
