Summer Transfer Window 2019

[ToffeeTim]

...the folk on here who always bang on about us having to sell players to raise money for signings have been a bit quiet of late.

It's about the wage balance not fees. We can clearly afford the big fees but we need to ship those who don't contribute out to keep things financially smooth over the long run.

Hoping they’ve started to realise that we needed to sell players before buying this time but for all the right reasons.

Neres?

Wasn’t there someone on here who said Neres was a done deal?

 

[Sainsbur McManus]

We have left it too late to deal with Palace over Zaha.
How long do they have then to get a replacement?

I wouldn't be surprised if we sign him on Friday, but too late to play a part in the next game...

 

[Yarrgh]

Not 100% on this but pre the AWB sale weren’t Palace something like £150m in debt with about 77% of there income going on wages?

I think that was us.

I'd definitely be surprised if we signed him on Friday.

That would be impressive even for Brands.

Exactly TT. By 2 September (23rd August for Italy) we need to shift Bolasie, Niasse, Mirallas, Martina, Besic, Onyekuru all of whom were out on loan last season. Tosun, McCarthy, Schneiderlin might also be surplus. If we cannot move some of them before PL/Championship window shuts we narrow the market for them & take a big financial gamble that we will shift them to Europe (China window already shut).

Yes but it was @TheFinnFan and he’s mildly cretinous. But in a loveable way.

Thursday sorry!

9 out (I’ll take 7 so long as it’s the sweet prince & Besic that stay ... just because they aren’t worth much in wages or imo in fees we would receive, and they have the right attitude), 1 in and a couple of everloans.

Would suit me down to the ground.

That Newcastle player looks like a 38 year old fan who has turned up in St James park in full kit for a stadium tour.

So like niasse then

I think we are about breaking even on player trading to be honest, without looking into it in that much detail as yet, thats no bad thing in my opinion as the business is in a bit of a state.

Silva and Brands are doing well as the crow flies and the ball is still in play. Shifting lads as we know is vitally important.

Hope there’s a 50m right winger rumbling on behind the scenes

If there is brands will get him for 30m
