Just hope we’re in for either him or santos because both Travis and Carvalho are joining teams I expect to be in and around us come the end of the season and both would fit into our midfield yet haven’t read anywhere we were after either

I liked what I read about Santos. Seems like a terrier in midfield but with a lot of quality. Not the experienced DM we are after but could add more physicality to our options and let us give the current midfielders a breather or two. If you can’t bring in an experienced guy, bring in one with tons of talent.

This was from when Santos signed for Chelsea:

https://talksport.com/football/1291083/juninho-andrey-santos-chelsea-signing/amp/

Speaking back in July, ex-international Juninho* had nothing but praise for Santos.

“I've never seen a player, at 18, as ready as he is," he said.

“Physically, he's a beast, technically he's on a high level. He's not going to be better than me, he's going to be much better than me."


* no, not that Juninho

Is that not the impatience of getting to the Premier League? If we do it slowly over the course of the next 2 years with little outlay, we'll be in a position to spend reasonably big when we're in the Premier league without breaking ffp?

Yeah you are correct. However, it's always going to be tough competing with teams pretty much breaking the rules like Forest and teams with parachute payments and multiple sellable assets like most relegated PL teams have.

My issue with “sustainability” is that football clubs aren’t really businesses anymore and that’s not just the big clubs. You don’t really operate at a profit in the PL you’re basically just making enough to cover what you spend. Ipswich have came up and people think they’re throwing money at it but I don’t really think they are they’re just offering competitive wages that they can afford to whilst complying with FFP whereas other clubs are well under their FFP

The EFL need to get tough with the teams that break the rules, not just transfer bans but point deductions as well. Teams will gamble on breaking the rules for promotion knowing the punishment is minimal.

And if you start hoying about enough money to improve the PL brand as a whole, there's no punishment at all.

True and then the gamble has paid off. If they finally get relegated they'll have parachute payments and saleable assets like sour patch said and its a vicious circle

It would be a bit odd I think for one of his first moves as a minority shareholder would be to block a loan move for a lad who has contributed nothing for them so far. A new contract and back here would make sense for both clubs.

The article actually doesnt say anything about Radcliffe's intentions at all. It basically says that Amad himself has ruled out a loan move (he hasn't) and that Nice tried to loan him before he came to us. They're then saying that means Ineos must like him and so won't loan him.

No substance whatsoever.
