Blue and white Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) It be interesting to see just how much Chansiri is willing/able to spend in the summer. Edited March 8, 2015 by Blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ermagerdh. I just had a thought (dangerous, I know but it was only the one). What if, right, what if Rhodes is signing and the total package is £12M? Transfer fee and wages??? What do you think? Possible? No? Well ok then. I'll just see myself out. Toodleoo.

Random Task Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) People actually get paid to write these articles, well...paragraphs. Like someone else said I'd be terrified of us spending that kind of money. Seems a lot as well even for Rhodes£12 million was the amount Hull offered in the summer when he turned them down. I think Rovers have killed some of his value by dropping him this year but not sure by how much. Don't think Blackburn can afford to keep him on current wages and they aren't in a great negotiating position what with their transfer embargo. Might be that he's available for a relative bargain.

Paddyowl Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 As much as I'd love to see Rhodes in a Wednesday shirt I think if we were to spend crazy money (Which I doubt) I'd rather spend £6 Million for Connor Wickham, £4 million on Sako (Wolves) and £2 Million on Knockheart (Liecester).

vulva Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I heard last week our transfer budget for the summer was £10m. No idea if this was wages and/or transfer fees. My best guess is that our transfer activity will consist of a few top drawer loan signings, and a marquee signing to confirm intent. One concern I've got is Chansiri's lack of knowledge of football. I'd imagine we have dozens of foreign agents hovering at the minute, trying to offload Jonny Kickaball in an 'exclusive deal'. Paul Aldridge is integral to our success next season, and it would be him that I'd tie down to a long term deal ahead of most of the players.

And if you were told "our transfer budget is..." Then that would say to me that fees for transfers can go up to that. It would eat away a fair bit if it included wages. Could still be doable though.

vulva Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If we are shopping in this market, we ought to have a look at McCormack at Fulham. They will never get that £11m back, but a cheeky bid might tempt them to cut their losses. I'd also be interested in Matt Smith, who is very underrated, and would be an excellent fit in a decent Championship squad. Another one worth considering is Peter Crouch. Not sure what his contract situation is, but he would do a great job for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mansfield_owl Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 No way in a million years would Peter Crouch drop to the championship,especially after having a fruitful season for Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 No way in a million years would Peter Crouch drop to the championship,especially after having a fruitful season for Stoke Just checked, he signed a 2 year deal in January. Takes him to 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mansfield_owl Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The McCormack situation could be one to have a look at though,not sure about Smith,done really well in league 1,but we've seen for ourselves some players don't make the step up (Madine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger Guns Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I was surprised leeds let Matt smith go. Had a decent first season in the championship last season and he's a young lad with potential. Think they may live to regret it if they let him go permanently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPlopper Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Gray would probably play him on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Zamora would be my pick if we're looking to push the boat out- although no idea what his situation is/will be at QPR. Has he ever played outside London though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 This summer is going to be amazing... It will be the best Transfer Window Megathread EVER Or maybe not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 That article is just so lazy and pointless. Gray says he wants a prolific striker. Journo plucks the best striker in Chanpionship and says we are "set to launch bid". If it's that easy, I could start as a journo tomorrow. Jesus Christ!

Stoop Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 £12m We'd get him for £8m In reality he's worth about £4m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
