Most teams would have waited to January Barca especially. We’ve done very well here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mantis Posted August 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2022 Excluding extra fees, this is the balance of our transfer business so far: IN Kamara - free Coutinho - £17m Carlos - £26m Olsen - £3m Augustinsson - loan OUT Targett - £15m Chukwuemeka - £20m Trezeguet - £4m So that's a net spend of £7m to bring in three quality starters while shipping out a backup LB, a backup winger and a talented but unproven midfielder who had barely even played for us. Not bad so far. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad so far. I agree, it is great business. That said, the 4m for Targett (I assume the loan fee last season) can't really be considered in this window, otherwise u should really include the Digne fee. Either way, 7m or 1mm net spend it is still great business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 We dont need their poxy money, we need to keep our best young players. Gutted. But what can you do? Apparently Gods will is that you get loaned out by poxy Chelsea for years before everybody forgets you exist. Good thinking. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It’s amazing how good we are at working under the radar. Not a sniff of this and then boom! £20m for an eighteen year old. Credit to the management for playing this so effectively. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 With Carney all but gone, and Traore seemingly out of the picture, I feel there could be scope for us to bring in another attacker, not necessarily an out and out striker, but another player that can play in the front three, as it stands at the moment, if two of Coutinho, Buendia, or Bailey were to get injured outside of playing players out of position we would be short options in the two 'no.10' roles/ wide forward roles. I was thinking Noni Madueke from PSV, but he's apparently out injured until Novemeber, Yunus Musah from Valencia could be another good option, I've only seen him play for US but looked good both as a central midfielder and further forward, so could be a good direct replacement for Chukwuemeka.

GingerCollins29 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I wonder if getting the 20 mill for CC, which wasn't a definite, might allow us to lower the value of some of our other players we want to sell, just to get them off the wages?
