PieFacE Posted June 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2019 Mitrovic is alright. I like him as a player but I think he's overrated, I'd like to think we could do a bit better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Friendly with Charlton announced. Maybe part of a transfer deal? Aribo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Mitrovic is a beast of a striker, but as Sir Gary says he's a bit of a hot head. Would he pass the "good character' test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn’t mean that a £40m player would come here I know mate that’s why I wrote top striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 1 hour ago, lexicon said: Of course we're assuming that we're looking at 20-25 for a striker. It's important to note that just because we're back in the PL, doesn't mean that we can ignore FFP, so I'd say it's unlikely that we'll go that close to or beyond 100mil. 140m is the top end of what we can spend. Maybe the new commercial deal changes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new commercial deal changes that. £140m will be the top end of what we could bring in as non-player related income. What are the permitted losses though? Because we could spend all of that, and then the only actual losses would be the monthly wages/bonuses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at what Frankfurt have just done with luka jovic and would be pained if we went after mitrovic for north of 20m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Rondon would do a job for us as one of two strikers to bring in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right when I read online they did a year-long cheeky £3million loan first. Not a bad idea. Edited June 7, 2019 by praisedmambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
