Keener window-cleaner Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I would be very happy with Kalinic! Thought he looked great in the game he played in the WC, commanding and assured. Ideally I would like to have a reliable decent Brittsh gk who knows what the Championship/Premier League is all about. But if we go foreign I think Kalinic is a very good shot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Wouldn't view this as a done deal IMO - few of things don't make sense:- 1.The reported fee is a whopper considering we have FFP problems 2.He has no experience in England - not a problem in the long term, but maybe too much to expect him to hit the ground running mid season 3.Tom Heaton or the geezer from Newcastle would appear to be comparable options at much less cost Interesting strategy if true - Highly rated by Remi Garde as well !

Not that I know what our FFP limit is, but we surely can't spend £7 mill on every position. I have a funny feeling our FFP cloud has long gone. Especially when we are about to splash £7m on a keeper and we still need another 2-3 names/positions strengthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I think looking at the companies house details for us since July and a substantial amount of money has been injected into the club in stages explains it slightly.

Farlz Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Maybe a bit concerning if he's rubbish with the ball at his feet considering how we like to play. £7m fee is a bit surprising also but at this point I've completely lost track with FFP, seems as if we're always fighting it yet nothing happens and we just keep buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Look at it like this, boys... We have a 7 Million pound keeper incoming, 2 weeks before the window has even opened. We're not messing about. FFP isn't on the cards anymore... Purslow confirmed that we have a clean slate financially and it looks like all the needed background corporate personnel are in place. Pretty sure the new owners showed a bit of restraint this summer with signings, while they got the club finances corrected and the right people appointed. Now that the ship is steadied and the club is headed in the right direction again, I expect to see the purse strings loosen up. This is going to be the first signing of a very exciting 2019. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would heed to caution regards the amount, the deal is probably largely structured and the higher end of such an amount, if even correct, would probably depend on a number of variables. Indeed, within the text it mentions Genk 'want' 5-10 million euros. Furthermore, the media have a bonafide reason to state the amount higher than is, in order to push the FFP narrative.

Demitri_C Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It's pr9babky 7million euros which is cheaper? Or maybe with add ons or we pay instalments? Don't forget we made 4m from the traore sale so really even if it was 7m we only paying 3m on top of that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the poor with feet issue: 1) Of all the GK aspects this one is the most easily coachable I would have thought 2) could still initiate quick counters with effective throwing 3) Cutler must have seen enough in him to believe he is suited to our game and/or can be coached accordingly. Petsonally, I believe this could be an excellent signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we do have FFP if we're really thinking of signing a goalkeeper for 7 million, cant do. Hasn't Purslow also stated our FFP is also not to be worried about and that the transfer market were good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've heard quite a few say he is poor with his feet, but at the end of the day he's a footballer. If we get him down the training ground and get him used to how we play I'm sure he can adapt. In the Championship I think you need a keeper who is big and not afraid to come and take people out. Nyland's main problem is he's too timid at times. I think at 6ft 7 he won't be afraid to come through the crowd. If we get a decent CB, LB and Tammy stays for the rest of the season I'll be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
