True but that doesn’t mean we don’t have the right to voice concern about a possible bad deal or concern about the squad next season.

Some seem so keen to eliminate any debate/discussion about our transfer business just because it's done and can't be changed. If so we'd never discuss the result of a match! It's a transfer thread and we haven't signed anyone. I don't think anyone should be too wound up if people want to debate/discuss our only noteable outgoing.

I can understand the low fee if it works more in our favour to get his wages off the books.

Regarding the squad - it’s absolutely paper thin - even in positions we have solid players. In positions where people think we have a good enough starter - is there a player in reserve who we think/know is a decent back up? GK maybe if Pandur is good.

At the moment we need to sign a player in every single position on the pitch - many multiple. Omur and Tufan were probably the only two players in one position where we know both were good enough.

I got a rather cryptic but encouraging message yesterday (I cba correcting the grammar but I’ve copied the main bit).

“Trust me what’s coming in is going to be way better than anything we have now. First one should be announced first wk of July with another aimed at being shortly after, isn’t mind-blowinh [sic] but you’ll still see an improvement. OT going free up the ££ and broadens the market we can shop in.”

Could be copium on their part because they know I don’t know who exactly they are referring to, but they usually inform me of transfers about two weeks before they’re announced.

Other stuff we chatted about:

Nothing formally agreed on Greaves yet, clubs haven’t met his valuation but he’s eager to go to the Premier League and interest from Everton, West Ham, Wolves, Ajax, Standard Liege and Fenerbahce.

Interest in Norwood and Zajc confirmed.

In preliminary talks with a German striker and fullback. Wouldn’t say who or where, but did say that German clubs overvalue their players and convincing them to come over here would be difficult given our club size. Will take some doing.

Sheff Weds beat us to Max Lowe.

Ingram happy to spend pre season here to impress TW. TLT and Cartwright will also be assessed. Cartwright had interest from a League Two club on loan.

Nothing on Oscar. “Dunno lol? Bit embarrassing.” Hmmm.

As I suspected, Celi questioned by TW, asked why he hasn’t been brought here to be looked at and his loan in Peru moved elsewhere.

Sheffield United tentative interest in Slater.

Nothing serious in terms of movement on Philogene.

Sincere Hall to feature in pre season due to better than expected development, Jarvis to be watched but will probably finish out his loan.

Club have been in contact with Doncaster regarding our U21s after seeing how well Lo-Tutala developed. Nothing official, but could see the likes of Alfie Taylor, Stan Ashbee and Henry Sandat given a taste of EFL football.

So it sounds like stuff is going on, usually they are a miserable sod so the fact that they are optimistic leads me to feel likewise. While simultaneously suspicious. <laugh>

I def think we need a bit of an impressive singing just to show what level we intend to work at next season.

Slater going to Sheff Utd would be a blow.

Re the fee for Ozan.... I dont think anyone knows the fee... but reading different reports it is said in Turkey that the fee is between 2 and 4 million euro, with the likelyhood that the figure will be somewhere toward the middle. I think there may be more to the deal. As someone highlighted really well an few pages back, maybe the add ons and reduction in the future sale percentage of Omur might have been part of the agreement. The time next year I think Omur will be Prem bound for 8 figures so that would make this a very good deal...
 
Trabzonspor is kind of broke, so they can't pay huge amount for Tufan. Since discussion is between Acun (Fenerbahce vice-president) and Trabzonspor president, I am sure money is not the only thing discussed there, if you remember eventful game this year, where Fenerbahce even considered to leave league, Acun was one of the leaders of that propaganda.

For those unfamiliar, current budget limitations in Turkish League announced:

Galatasaray 82
Fenerbahce 78
Trabzonspor 45,7
Besiktas 45

in British pound. This money includes entire staff, transfer fees, wages and other expenses like travel paid by clubs so I don't think Trabzonspor has so much space for a transfer fee.

I don’t think he actually will do, they’ve lost Norwood and it’s not what I would call a replacement if both were to happen. I’d take him as a replacement for Docherty, but not at the expense of Slater.

Zajc is a great player at Championship level, Norwood if he were to come is an upgrade on Doc all day long.

Agreed on this, Zajc is not as bad as he looks in Fenerbahce, he was actually pretty good 2 years ago, last 2 years he and Fenerbahce did not get on well to be fair.

It’s a shame as I can’t imagine he forced a move but if it’s a good move financially for both then what can you say

I don't think with what we, on here, know at the moment it's a good deal for us.

He's a better player now than when we signed him for £4m, and we could have had him for 2 more seasons.

We won't know of course until we see who comes in to replace him.

If he was going to be second string then its a good deal, if we start the season with a team he'd walk into then it was a ****e deal

TWT

i reckon tufan was adamant he wanted the transfer and its hard to turn down a player when you get a fee
its more just
the chance of a squad with such a rebuild fighting for promotion in the championship is extremely unlikely
now if acun gives walter time, thats fine, but ???

Maybe.
However he doesn't strike me as a player that would sulk if he didn't go either.

We are both giving views which are valid, and that is what debate is all about, having difference of opinion and discussing them. Sadly, there days the art of debate is disappearing, many just shout down things they don't agree with.

So nice to have a debate which both have merits.

Of course, we don't know the full story, for example maybe we will find that we get a player from the club he has gone too at a good price. I guess TWT.

Zajc gets gassed out after 15 minutes. Norwood is 33 and does the same thing as Seri, who is also 33 in less than a month’s time. If anything, we need youth and energy in this midfield.
