Loan to Ipswich last season and not wanted with Wolves promotion to the PL. Struggled to get into the ITFC side, last season. Probably better than we have though Edited July 18, 2018 by camffiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine Brentford sell any players cheap? Seen that Ollie Watkins is being touted at 15m on bbc gossip page a year after hisc1.6m purchase. Erm, show me one report that states Leeds are struggling with FFP? We're one of a few teams that aren't this season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Realistically, he could be worth a punt He kept getting dropped for Jordan Spence though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Are Forest the new Wolves or the new Wednesday? They've gone absolutely balls out and spent £24m net this season so far including £13.5m on a young Portuguese attacking midfielder. Squad has 5 keepers, 12 defenders, 11 midfield, 9 strikers and nearly all first teamers (i.e not like some of our squad) and that's not including about 6 that they've sent out on loan. Their wage bill must be flipping huge attracting Dawson, Robinson and Pantillimon. And how is Karanka gonna use 9 strikers??? They already have 4 strikers on newish 4 year contracts Clough, Lolley, Vellios, Brereton and have signed another 4 this close season, and still have old timer Murphy. Only two options, automatics or bust... Edited July 18, 2018 by Peacenocchio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve got cash you’d probably do well buying a few players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it’s the fans left to pick up the pieces when it all goes boobies up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Fabio da Silva has joined Nantes for an undisclosed fee, he’d have been a good signing for anyone in this league. Also Derby look a much tougher proposition after adding Mount and Wilson, that’s a lot of creativity and goals they’ve added. With Lampard at the helm they could be a much younger and more dynamic side than we’re used to seeing at Pride Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arcadianrocket Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Martin CB from Norwich available for loan. Think he would do a decent job for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds have no FFP issues not sure where that has come from Accounts filed by them and us Leeds 30/6/16 - £8.8m loss compared to SWFC 31/5/16 - £9.8m loss 30/6/17 - £1.0m profit 31/5/17 - £20.8m loss 30/6/18 - who knows 31/5/18 - who knows I think Leeds got £15m for Chris Wood, Byram £4m, Lewis Cook £7m, Charlie Taylor £6m in the same period of time we have got no transfer fees in for anyone.

WalthamOwl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) 2 exciting signings for Derby imo. Wish we would go for some quality Prem youngsters on loan.

Our inability to sell players has been a big issue for us in terms of staving off FFP. Hopefully our new approach of giving a chance to younger players will reveal some diamonds in the rough.

Again, Derby have benefitted from flogging players such as Ince, Hughes etc and that has given them more FFP wriggle room. The draw of Lamps is gonna help too.

More to the point it was DC's unwillingness to sell players as he had the quaint notion that they are family, according to what CC once said. He's having to learn the hard way that, in football, comings and goings are the norm and are indeed a necessity for the most part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with the exception of George Hirst and FF (who none of us wanted to leave anyway) there has never been any substantiated interest for any of our players. I agree though, we have to be far more willing to sell if we are to recoup funds to keep the team fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
