Aye. Not sure he’s the type we need. Clearly a good player so I get the link but he just doesn’t seem one we need. Probably ends the Fatawa chances like.
I think a lot already thought it. They’ve long been seen by the fans of the genuine big clubs being baffled by them classing themselves as one of them (when it suits, little old Newcastle when they talking about cartels etc….) Now rest of league is seeing it.
The Eze replacement for about half the fee. It'll be interesting to see what Palace do in the window before it closes. I don't see many positions where they can get serious upgrades.
Mavididi, El Khannouss and Fatawu started behind the striker on Saturday. That’s serious for the championship!
Sets a bit of a precedent if the worst happens this season too. If all of our young players end up yielding a min £10m profit on sale - even if they don't make a standout impact - we'll be well protected.
The main reason I wanted promotion last season. If we’re to go down (and there’s still a good chance it happens), we’ll be in such a stronger position than we were a year ago. The future is bright
great point. One game in and I can already tell that we won’t lose money on sadiki, talbi, adingra, alderete, roefs or diarra.
I don't need to An equal tendency for some Sunderland supporters to assume every player you sign turned Leeds down Not in the slightest, the poster was doing some figures and maths and had possibly left up to £16m out of the equation, it doesn't mean I think you are in financial trouble, more a dig at the state of football and how agents are part of the bigger problem
I dont mind Doyle but the money they've spent is mental for the level and I still don't think they are any closer to getting promoted I get they are probably aiming for mid table finish on season 1 in the league but to sornd around 30 million in that league you should be expecting promotion or at least challenging the playoffs Doyle at least has room to grow unlike their other signings, who are decent Championship players only Just feel they've wasted a lot of money over the last few years and seem to have zero forward planning. We should be an example of what can be achieved, spend money on players who are likely to improve, add in cheaper veterans to support and then use the loan market I hope Wrezham fall flat on their faces this year, haven't been massively impressed with their recruitment over the years Hats off to them for the money they get through sponsorships tho
The transfer window seems to have quietened down for all teams, as they take stock of what they have and have left to do Probably until next week when teams are both panic buying and selling - On that note I am glad we have done the bulk of our buying early on with just maybe 1 or 2 more to do and the fact our surplus players are on low wages will both help to shift them and not cripple us if they have to hang about
