Summer transfer window 2023

[Eggsyblueskin]

I think a lot of the ffp stuff should of dropped off now as we are surly allowed to make signings considering Gordon and Kean went, Richy went and we have got rid of high wages players like Mina.

I don’t think it has dropped off, it’s a rolling 3yearly assessment I think , and most informed estimates maintain we are still technically in breach.

Spending no money in January despite being in a deep relegation battle was all the evidence we needed

Or the January window was full of over priced cack that would’ve made title difference to our chances of going down while inflicting greater financial damage if we did go down, who knows?

At any point, any top club could’ve taken him off Southampton. Same with Sigurdsson, there is a reason none of them have gone near him.

I think he's very average but excellent at free kicks

If taking free kicks was a sport he’d be the Messi of that sport. Unfortunately that’s not the sport we play.

 

[Papa Shango]

He’s 29 in a couple of months and looks like he’s running in quick sand. Kind of signing that got us in this mess in the first place.

I didn't say we should sign him! Just that he is a good player, because he is.

Fortunately, really, as we would suck very badly at that as well

So you are only a good player if one of the big boys signs you?

I said he was good, not world class or anything.

I'd argue Iceland actually had an awful lot more to his game

“Awful lot” is stretching it just a bit.

It’s normally a good indicator, yes.

Speaking of poor assessments of a player:

Speaking of poor assessments of a player:

We get a decent offer I would sell, he's on high wages. He's a good player who can create but is he a match winner for the wages he's on? Do we really want to commit to him for another three years on those wages ? He doesn't score enough for an attacking/creative player for me.

Would absolutely sell in a heart beat for anything over 10 mill mate.

Not surprised by this at all, he was weeks away from a new deal in Jan that never materialised - I don’t think Sean rates him.

He costs North or 10 mill a year at the moment - sell.

It feels like he's done his time here. I'd sell but he will need replacing
