Kevin Thelwell - New Director of Football

[Dougie]

Yeah mate, I wouldn't disagree, but that's Frank's choice. My point was that the formation of the team, really has got £#() all to do with the DOF.

Yeah I agree with you that is franks decision not Kevin’s. Just hope they are both on the same page.

He wont be starting work on this mess until he gets back from Paris on Sunday.

Get the ‘for sale’ list produced and start touting these round to anyone and everyone;
Gomes
Keane
Allan
Doucoure
Mina
Davies
Gbamin

And under NO circumstances offer new contracts to Delph or Kenny. Get a good price for Kean.

This. Need an end to buying cast offs who aren’t good enough for the teams we are trying to catch up with. The Bart Simpson fallacy.

How on earth do we afford all that

 

[ForeverBlue92]

How on earth do we afford all that

DCL - £60 million
Kean: £23 million
Gbamin: £12-15 million

Thats how sir - dont look at fees look at BOOK VALUE.

We arent getting 60m for DCL

And 15m for Gbamin? Seriously what

I would bet anyone on here if DCL is sold this summer it wont be a penny less than £60 millions.

I actually agree with the DCL valuation but you’re smoking crack if you think someone is giving us 15m for Gbamin!

 

[GlosBlue]

Even if he is, how do you think we'd afford that list? If DCL is £60m then what do you reckon Roma will want for Abraham after his decent season? Johnson is highly rated so he won't be cheap. Bissouma is decent so we'd have to pay a fair bit even with one year left. Add to that the loan fee for Gallagher, the cost of a 'baller from Europe', and the fact that no one would pay money for Gbamin, and you've basically got zero chance of this happening.

I haven't seen him in Russia but apparently he's done well and he's still relatively young / an international CM.

I think people still think its 2007 when they talk about fees - we paid about £15 million for Rangers 3rd choice RB who had played a total of about 20 professional games of football.

Its not a lot of money anymore.
