that’s true but the benefit is and admittedly a slim one is it helps spread the benefit of our headroom. We would get a 18m hit next year for a player that’s not even been on our books for a year
Considering we'd lose any chance of promotion we have, I don't think it can be dressed up as a benefit.
And the owner isn't exactly know for playing the long game......he want promotion now what ever he says about top 10 being enough.
Barça announced today that João Félix is going back to Atlético Madrid so maybe Jaden is the substitute.
But Tan will come out being all excited like he was when Roma were after Greaves and Liverpool nicked a youth team keeper for a pittance.
https://x.com/theblacknamber/status/1806958262119465089?s=46 A punt on this kid would be good business if the reports about Lugano lowering the asking price are true. €2-2.25 million for a striker who averages a goal every 2.4 games is the sort of business that could prove prudent at this level. I know we all wanted Delap but ‘English tax’ is ridiculous. We need to sign anywhere from 10-15 players this summer and £1.7-1.9 million for a proven goal scorer would be a good start.
Chances of promotion are slim for us to be honest this season. We’d have to absolutely nail the window and bed players in quickly. Thankfully our first few games are quite kind but this season doesn’t strike me as the same as last
No major transfers in Europe yet, right? I guess everybody is waiting for Euro, after that market might become more active so we could get remaining ones.
Not sure about the pro's and con's of the deal. But wow what an opportunity for Jaden, don't think that there are many players in the world that would turn that down. And for City it shows that Acun and Tan can wheel and deal buy a player for 5m and then sell for 20m. Whats not to like about that for little old Hull City. We lose one of out stars, yes but just like with Jarrod, Andy and Harry we can follow their careers from afar with pride and interest.
There were similar doubts when KLP sold, I don't think a club needs to cling to a player to be honest, have 2-3 of them that will keep club culture, that's it.
And another one, although daft ****s will claim something else. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
