Since joining Westerlo, Sayyadmanesh has been really good. He would’ve walked into our team last season either at left-wing or up front. We sold him at a loss too.
Rosenior didn't buy ally. Lokilo was 25, hardly a kid. The only kid who seemingly didn't get as much of a look as possibly he should have was simons. Every other kid - Philogene, Morton, delap, carvalho - maybe with the exception of twine, did well. Issue was as you say they were all essentially loans.
I have no reason to be optimistic, other than the fact that I have many reasons to be pessimistic. It's funny how often they are just two sides of the same coin.
I'm actually a bit surprised at the pessimism. As fryatt was pointing out, our squad is in a much better position than twelve months ago already. All this talk of "every day without a signing is a day wasted of training" is a bit alarmist when other than a striker and maybe another winger, the bulk of our starting XI is already in the building. It's a much better position than a lot of clubs.
Yep definitely, I'm really positive and I can't quite explain why. I think the recruitment policy has changed drastically since Dublin came in, the profile of player seems to be much more sensible. If we pull off Barry, McBurnie and O'Brien off on perms, that makes it already our best window under Acun I'd say?
Well yes if, they're all sought after for a reason. But even if not, we're after the right players, and hopefully have good second targets as well. That's what's let us down in the past, not having alternatives of a similar caliber lined up.
Yes,one last big pay day then he'll end up at Celtic...They couldn't afford his wages at this point in time.
Jonathan David, who gets linked to a big club in Europe every transfer window, is now a free agent this summer. He wants a €20 million signing-on fee and his agent wants €15 million in commission.
Anyone unfortunate enough to sub to Nixon’s Patreon to tell us all which we’re involved in? Guessing it’s the Doyle story.
I think it’s about the fee for O’Brien. Hopefully we can sort a loan, if it’s too crazy no one will pay it
I don’t know how credible Nixon is. He seems to be a meme as far as football transfer rumours go. £5 million is too much; £8 million is just outrageous. For £2.5-3 million, it would be a decent deal. Anything more is getting silly.
