nepal_villan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Tariq Lamptey was bought for £3M! I hope we are looking for these "McGinn" type purchases and not just big ticket ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Not saying he's coming here (he's not) but interesting that Ruben Loftus-Cheek is out of the Chelsea squad entirely today and is not injured as far as I can see from the Chelsea forum.

I think because we agreed a buy back clause for Luiz and have found it not to our liking. The way prices have been heading this summer, his buy back price is horribly good value.

Steero113 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Has anyone also mentioned that Ismalia Sarr has still not had any offers and now Liverpool have signed Jota it's getting close to him needing to be sold? He has practically told Watford he's not playing in the Championship for them. I'd personally take him over Rashica. Before we might have been looking at £40m, now with time running out and a shortage of offers, someone is going to get a godlike signing there at the 11th hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way prices have been heading this summer, his buy back price is horribly good value. Not really, we’d just had a prior season full of loans and buy back clauses really aren’t that much different. The positives of loans are you don’t pay a fee upfront (so you’re not blowing £££££ on DD type players)....the positives of a deal with a buy back clause is you benefit from any uplift .........SHOULD they come good, but at best it’s likely to be a 50:50 profit share BUT you’ve made the capital commitment initially.

Doesn’t he play on the same side as Bertrand and likely to cost twice as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted September 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2020 Sarr would be a great signing for us. If we could then also bring in Rashica then we'd likely need to sell one of AEG or Trez. But i'd definitely like to see us make a move for Sarr.

Trickster Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Loftus-Cheek not injured confirmed by Lampard, just left out of the squad. Worth keeping an eye on his involvement from here on out. Sarr would cost a fortune, Watford looking for around £40m. Plays more on the right so can't see any interest there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand can play as ST, Milot can play across all three, Watkins can play ST/LW.......I mean jack can play LW/AM/RW...but you buy players based on where they’ll play best. I can’t see Sarr being signed, not if we’re not prepared to spend half that amount on Brewster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we beat them last week in the Carabao cup at St Mary's, They put out a 1st team squad minus one and we made 6 changes with "fringe" players for us, on that and today's showing they are going to struggle. Looking forward to watching Watkins play tomorrow on Sky, Not really a betting man but have put a couple of bob on him to score. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, admittedly, Purslow was quoted at the start of last season stating, as fact, that teams that have been in the Prem longer than us automatically have a higher ceiling for wage budget because of not having a season or two of Championship finances included” Just corrected you Fixed for you too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) The one thing I’m pretty sure about is that I don’t reckon our transfer window is over with the signing of Bertrand. I’ve never been that sure Raschica will sign and I’m still not certain now. Links with Edouard but funnily enough my money would be more on Benrahma than Milot, Edouard.
