For £6m he'd been an interesting punt. On his way to Sporting CP apparently, be interesting to see how he gets on. Hopefully Samatta for £8.5m proves to be better business.

useless Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Taylor has been seen at Stoke's training ground today that's where those rumours have come from, but quite a few people saying that it's something to do with coaching badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we be happy to see our only back up LB, who has PL experience, have been solid and played a role in us getting promoted, leave? We would have to spend money on a replacement and that money is better put on a striker imo. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably we’d get money for him and I’d imagine any replacement would be on lower wages so it would probably balance. If they did decide to sell I’m sure they’d have someone lined up too. Not that I see it happening. Edited January 22, 2020 by Sam-AVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The amortization argument for being able to spend more doesn't mean we have it available. They'll have an eye on expected future income, and also an eye on the fact we can't use all the 140m as it would mean next year we'd have nothing to spend again (assuming all our signings are on more than one year contracts). That said, we definitely have money available if needed and presumably will spend it if the right option comes up. Piatek for £30m you say?

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was looking at the 2019/20 team photo and found it useful illustrating visually how many players we've lost: Add a possible falling out with Engels and the departure of Kodj and Kalinic and it shows how limited our options are. It really is quite shocking that we're managing to hold on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if Purslow says it works, go for it. Go get Benrahma for £25m and Youssouf Fofana/Teun Koopmeiners for £20m, we'll stay up no probs. Can you believe it @JAMAICAN-VILLAN Watford now linked with Fofana. Spies round here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
