Transfer Rumours January Transfer Thread

Because of how you can spread the cost of incoming signings it means realistically we could spend a large chunk. Some will cover previous spending but I’d imagine there’s a decent wedge left over especially as Greaves is pure profit.

Signing a £5m player on a 4 year contract is £1.25m per year for FFP purposes. Not to mention if said player is good and you sell them on.

 

Good article about Fabio linked in the article as well.

Realistically when a non-parchute team has a player valued at £15-20m, you simply have to sell. For most clubs that's the equivalent of 12 months revenue, it's a huge amount of money and you're only a bad injury away from it being gone. You've just got to back yourself to keep doing the things that enabled you to produce a player worth that in the future.

 

i never said we will stand in his way
if a good bid comes in, ofcourse we accept
im purely talking from his own individual development, but not many could turn down a move to the prem with all its offerings

 

Wonder if Man City would loan Callum Doyle to the championship again. Would be a cracking short term replacement and allow us to spend money elsewhere

 

It Greaves and Philogene go. And the loans go back out wage bill wont be huge anyway somewhere in the middle of the league if not lower.

If they do go, I’d expect at least half of it used in transfer fees, and some huge loans.

 

It's going to take one hell of a rebuild in the summer if we lose Philogene & Greaves.

Our starting 11 before transfers..

__________Pandur
Coyle Jones ????? Giles
______Seri ?????
Omur_____Tufan___?????
__________??????

Thats 4 key positions to the starting 11, then there's all the other players we'll need for cover for when the out of contract players leave. New right back, 2 wingers, central midfielder, attacking mid, backup striker..

The only good thing is that we'll have the money to do it. Hopefully we can bring at least 1 of the current loan players back for next season. Delap would be my choice.

 

Pure profit is correct, I referenced it above, it doesn't mean you can multiply it though!

 

According to Rosenior pre QPR, we're a 'mid level' budget as we are. So you'd think with the contracts up we'd be towards to lower end of that bracket leaving plenty of wiggle room.

 

Giles isn’t ours

 

True, I think we'll activate the buy option in the summer though. If not add another to the list of 1st team players we'll need to buy.

 

I hope not. Jacob's looked good in the last couple of days. Furlong's hanging around somewhere (probably the physio's table) but we can do much better than splashing 4m on Giles.

 

It wouldn't in the slightest surprise me to see Liam Delap back here next season, be it a loan again or permanent, the Liverpool lads depends on who comes in for Klopp, can't see us getting Carvalho again, but Morton may be a possibility. Ohio will be going back I presume to his parent club, doubt Sharp will be given any extension, and I just wonder about Connolly, whether Rosie will persist or give it up as a bad job given his fragility.

I'd love to see Philo and Greaves here next season but think their sales will trigger the rebuild.

 

Doesn't sound like someone who up until recently was unhappy with the manager..

 

Its also an absolutely none article

Carton palmer randomly says he 'could' come back
Has absolutely zero info about it

Daft article

 

He seems to directly quote Fabio? Has he not spoken to him himself?

 

Yea fabio said about hes loving football again
He just quoted that

And then making a theory about how he might come back
