Junxs Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 We probably need to win 13 or 14 of our remaining 19 games to make the Playoffs.. With our away form it seems extremely unlikely. I'm not sure £15m for a championship striker is wise. Surely there will be better options in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the club are aware of ffp and the rules and won't risk losing out on promotion over them . wyness and round were recently asked about ffp and seemed to think we were fine with it .

pintpotvilla Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Seems 100% that the mystery man is Hogan Leak if that is what it is is from the Brentford end SB said this morning that the deal "was nearly done" Therefore it looks like this was kept under wraps because of PL interest Add all this together and i'd guess the player is ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 We sure seem to like spending money on Championship forwards... Gestede, McCormack, Kodija, maybe Hogan? That's potentially about 7 + 12 + 15 + 15 = almost £50m spent on English second division attackers Gotta feel that if we had a scouting structure we could find a lot better players for a lot less money. Then again it's hard to argue against signing a player who has single-handedly scored almost as many goals as our entire squad this season.

Fantastic business. ...and we still have the 5m from the Ayew sale! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I just love the doctors style . Nice to see a man putting his money where is mouth is . Let's hope his benevolence is rewarded with ,at least , a day at Wembley . There can be no more excuses for failure ,the manager has been backed to the hilt .

We never even spent like this in Learners early days and even then the spending wasn't sustainable. What happened to FFP? I'm not complaining but where is all this money coming from? We already had a decent commercial income, we just ruined it with ridiculously high wages. Some of these wages were hopefully reduced with relegation clauses. And Bruce is looking to offload more players. In his short time here Xia has already set up commercial deals and no doubt has many more lined up. So in other words I think we'll be fine. Xia is no fool and will know all the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
