ferguson1 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Don't think we would add any further right sided players at this point. However, if we could get Patrick Roberts on loan to play down our left, I would be chuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there still no official word on the Sanchez deal or is it just me? He's in pre season training with them it seems from their website. Either way Him, Veretout and Gil all gone it seems and sorted and I seem to remember Bruce saying something like 'got to sort out what's happening with the lads on loan first' or words to that effect a few interviews ago. With Mason gone and Kozak's wages gone so far. I suppose it depends how much of their wages were off the books last year and how much we were/are maxed out with FFP atm. We might just be treading water in that that £8/9m odd might just be paying for the new boys' wages and small fees. We all know this is why shifting the high earners like Richards and McCormack is paramount even if it's on loan if they're not going to contribute anything. Be interesting to see what happens from here on anyway. I suspect we've got a lot more clearing out to do before we're amassing any sort of transfer kitty we could play with this year. We spent A LOT of money last season. Unfortunately it seems with the benefit of hindsight that RDM only really added to the mess 12 months ago too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Only a idiot would buy Richards from us. I think we are stuck with him unless we pay out his contract. A colossal waste of money. However at the time I thought it was a cracking signing. Shows I know nothing about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I agree sign him up!" How quaint and old fashioned to form an opinion on a player based on a video. The only valid way to give an opinion on a potential signing should be from FIFA or FM. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Can't see Richards leaving either but we have a lot of selling to do. Especially if the 19/20 senoir pro's and 5 or 6 kids stepping up tweet from DR X is to be believed. Cissokho, Tish, Gardner next up I reckon. Elphick surely wants to play some games somewhere can't see him wanting to sit around picking up wages like some others. I think if we can cut our losses on McCormack we should jump at the chance. Bunn should just go away. Bacuna and Richards... well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2015-2016 we had the 8th biggest wage bill in the prem ffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boumasbabies Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Actually got 11 goals and 11 assists from Left wing last season Love a direct player Roberts is a good shout or a cheeky loan for Kenedy from Chelsea - after his debacle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted July 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am sure Tony will be queuing up to sign Kenedy. Will at least mean we are recognised in China 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been dreadful at West Ham. Their fans on KUMB Forum all want shot of him, it's like a Richards and Gabby thread on here. Would take him though as he was excellent at Hull and I think we're a wide player short as likes of Green and Thor are really unproven as game deciding players at championship level as of yet, Snodgrass would be. I think we'll play the early few games with what we have now but it will only take a few games of struggling to score without Kodjia (unless Hogan can actually get into the game much more) to force our hand. Snodgrass could well be a last day deal, I'd be surprised if we didn't sign anyone on August 31st, we usually do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect his distrubution is good enough still though Been a very underrated player for a fair while and ive always rated him, but injurys have taken their toll imo. I hope we dont spend 6 mill + biggish wages for him tbh It was odd though as he was excellent for Hull first half of the season, really seemed like a one man act to keep them up with his free kicks. Wasn't aware of any injury mid season so just looks the case of he struggled at the start at West Ham, fans got on his back and he's lost all confidence. Given they're signing players like Aranutovic I can't see him getting many minutes. Maybe a loan deal might be an option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find the link yup, also remember reading they were happy to recover most of the money they outlaid in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
