Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

Investing some money in a youngish defensive midfielder who is physically imposing, can break up play, is comfortable on the ball and can pick a pass would be crucial imo. We’ve missed out on Seri it seems but if we could get someone a bit younger for that position in addition to a couple of strikers, I think we’ll start looking like a team capable of promotion in the near future.

 

Does Acun have backers putting money in then?

As for sponsors I imagine they're trying to get in on the ground floor of a premier league project. If we haven't achieved that in the next 3/4 years they could walk away and the money could dry up.

I'm not overly concerned, would just like a bit more clarity.

 

For those bemoaning the lack of a grafter and leader following George's exit - any one else see the forest fans description of Figuereido?

'If a comet is heading straight for the MKM, then don't worry, you won't die. Tobias will just head it back into orbit.'.

 

If he's only worth 100m then he has backers. Would need them just to pay his fuel bill.

It's always been suggested to me that he has anyway.

 

Just like Abdoulaye Faye used to

 

I think that’s just as important as a striker now we’ve missed out on Seri. I feel missing out on Seri may have been a blessing as he’s not particularly a ball winner.

 

I spent five years trying to learn how to read charts, mainly in forex, oil and gold, I really enjoyed it but made all of the usual mistakes, when/if I eventually retire I’ll definitely be revisiting it as it’s something that I really enjoy.

I’d be more than happy to have a read of your book as stocks are something that I’ve never got involved in

Either way, good luck with the book mate, as you probably know there’s a huge audience for decent books of this type.

 

The Koc family? Not a lot happens in Turkey without their involvement. Chairman of Fenerbahce is one of 'em and Acun said a few times he's a mate. I doubt they'd let Acun go under.

 

A few of their relatives are registered on here.

 

Not surprised

 

Acun landing in Dubai currently.

 

Does the FFP headroom ever run out? We have the headroom due to all the sales we’ve made over the past few years does that just last forever or?

 

I think it's something like you're not allowed to post losses of over £15m over the course of three seasons.

So as long as you're making a profit for the season, you're fine. If you do post a loss, it can't be more than £5m a season over a three season period.

 

Ahh I see! So does that compound? So if for 6 seasons we’re well under do we get double the headroom?

 

It's 39m not 15.,. And we've been in profit in the last 3 years.

 

Oh well that's much easier then. Even more room to breathe.

 

They said when taking over the headroom was what made us so attractive. Indicates that the plan was always to invest.

Believe its - £39m in a rolling 3 years, but any profit made immediately prior to relegation would lift that amount, obviously minus the losses in L1.

 

Plus we have a pretty lucrative sponsorship deal coming in.

I think Corendon have paid some mental amount to be our sponsors.

 

Tan said it was one of the biggest in the league.
