Anything above about £8m and we shouldn’t be going anywhere near it in all honesty.
Agreed. I think £8mil is generous for a 30 year old with his injury record.
Ake - Branthwaite/Mylolenko
Grealish - Alcaraz/Ndiaye
KDH - Gana
Travers - Pickford
We've spent the window strengthening our strongest positions.
I am disgusted.
He is really good but he is primarily a LCB. In the Dutch national team he also played quite a few matches at LB so that might be worth it. But why spend a lot of money on a 30 year old player who's best position is the same one as one of our star players? We dont have an infinite budget so we should try to fill in the real problempositions first before spending 20+ mil on a (although very good) versatilty player.
Its actually pathetic to take this approach all summer.
Incredibly poor waste of money down to Moyes.
Now we will have 3× LB & 5× CB.
Yet no RB, no RW & no DM.
Thank you David Moyes.
Just gonna leave this out there, first time here we had numerous windows where the recruitment was slow, a mess and in general a bit haphazard, obviously blue bill a huge part in that. Moyes the moves to United and they manage to sign I think two players - one of those fellaini they ended up paying about 6-7m more than they had too as they missed his release clause date.- they spent all dinner chasing fabregas and another lad and got neither - obviously it was the United recruitment guys fault. He then pops over to Spain cones back to Sunderland and overseas one of the worst transfer windows in the leagues history - Sunderland fans still detest him btw, players he brought in magnified their financial issues as they were stuck with old washed up or simply crap when they went down - obviously Sunderland's recruitment team was a shambles also. Then he went west ham and in the main they recruited awfully a few exceptions apart - he fell out with and banned the sporting director from the ground - obviously the recruitment being awful was on that guy. Then he came back here - first thing he does is cancel several arranged deals - doesn't work well with Thelwell and is a driving force in the new setup - and we are having major issues recruiting - obviously Hammond's to blame.
At a certain point 5 clubs all having major issues on recruitment is either massive bad luck for the same manager or alternatively maybe Moyes is the one common denominator...
Yes, been saying its down to Moyes all summer.
Who else signs the players we have other than Moyes?
Zero upside signings in terms of financials/PSR = Grealish, Travers, KDH, Ake, King.
With this signing where does Aznou get game time?
