Summer transfer window 2023

[Zatara]

You can't honestly tell me you think we have £40m to spend on a striker and £40m to spend on a right-winger.

How much do you think Wahi, Balogun and Bakayoko would cost?

I think weve got £30-40mil before sales and a big amount of wages off the books.

What makes you think that?

And the first two will be £30m+, the last is very unproven given our need for immediate quality.

Just my guesstimate.

Someone posted Balogun should be £28mil and would Wahi really be £30mil+ id be surprised if Montpelier got that.

Our main issues have come from injuries. I dont necessarily think we need to replace certain players from day 1. More that new players adapt, rotate and replace existing over 6-12months.

Just look at the links for those players and you’ll see the fees.

We need two strikers. We have to be smart not delusional here.

What we really need is a player who has scored 3 goals in 18 in The Championship.

Somebody who might be decent in 2 years, thats what we really need, cos we need these players to shine in League One.

Well DCL + Cannon + a new player is ok.

Need 1 CF and 1 RW imo.

Michael Chopra?

Think we would really struggle to prise him away from, checks notes, West Allotment Celtic.

Yes, thats a real football club.

I see Zat has started playing Fantasy Football before we’re safe again.

Only a fool would consider DCL an option going into next season.

Is your name Kevin?

Is there an East Allotment. Massive rivalry if so.

Nah scrap DCL off that list. If he’s available brilliant but we need to treat the squad as if he’s not in it. Can’t be doing this 3 years in a row.

 

[MikeH72]

There’s academy kids all over the country who will be very good players. Just wish we were targeting these players like we did with Stones DCL Branthwaite rather than wasting money on giving donkeys like Doucoure and Keane extensions. We were in for Reece James and Colwill before they became super expensive stars yet didn’t put the money up for either of them. We should be saying to these kids ‘want to play first team football in the prem’ and give them that platform. Instead they’re sitting on the bench at City or Chelsea and we’re wasting millions on absolute rubbish.

We can’t tell young players that, because our manager is Sean Dyche who doesn’t play young players in the first team.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Michael Chopra?

Cheeky one million bid for Paul Mullin.

Then get humiliated when he turns us down.

But there's also no point trying to stockpile strikers because the most important thing is that the main number 9 signing is as good as possible rather than diluting by spending on 2.

In an ideal world you have a new number 9 backed up by whatever DCL can give us, Cannon, and then maybe supplement with a someone who is primarily a winger or attacking midfielder who could do a job there if needed.
