MrEdwards Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We need a goalscorer and we need to be selling the training ground the megastore the kitchen sink, and get sponsorship from D Busses D Trains and D facemasks, do whatever it takes to get a goalscorer who can bag a goal every other game. Should have done this in the summer but better late than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britt Assombalonga- 15million Braithwaite- 9 million Howson- 6 million Fletcher- 7 million At least 37 Million spent at 'Boro , and was sacked 5 months later. He isn't good with money Selective with your post Gilfi Sigurdsson Pontus Jansson Jack Cork Kemar Roofe Luke Ayling Oil McBurnie Fabianski Ayew Hernandez would all point in the opposite direction to your view 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 3 hours ago, Sefton owl said: In the light of recent events, would anyone be surprised if we went and spent a decent amount of money in the January window? Of course the first objective is to get out of the relegation zone, which given the halving of the points deduction is more than possible. Chansiri has come out and said promotion is still an objective, whether he meant that for this season I don’t really know. Now that we have balanced the books, we have the advantage over several clubs in this division in that our chairman is willing to, and can, throw money at things and in a way (hopefully) that doesn’t damage the club in the long term. As such, I feel that by mid season we will look a far more attractive prospect than what we have been since the end of last season. Go out and spend mr chairman, but shrewdly and responsibly. I love your optimism but: 1) I would be staggered if we “spent a decent amount of money” in January. 2) Absolutely no chance of promotion, just forget that one. 3) I doubt very much that we’ve balanced the books, can’t see anything other than loans / free transfers in January. 4) I think it’s a massive assumption that we have the capacity to “throw money at things” - obviously I’ve no way of knowing but I tend to think we’re skint. I agree the additional 6 points is a massive positive, but looking at performances on the pitch, I can still see us struggling against relegation for the rest of the season.

gurujuan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The only way we’ll invest is if somehow Monk has us just outside the play offs That ain’t gonna happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very poor financial management given they have rarely been in the plans of 2 of the past 3 managers. As for new signings, avoiding anyone without 2 working legs at the point of purchase would be a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We must be very vulnerable to FFP issues. Been surprised he brought so many in during the summer. Don’t expect spending any money in January given we have had our income slashed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBilde'sTea Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ideally move Westwood and Rhodes out on loan, even if we have to subsidise it at least its something off the wage bill. Can't see Marriott staying as is but hope he comes good, he was handy at Derby. Few other loans or freebies, including an experienced combative midfielder would be good. Even if they are slightly older and can't play every game, we could do with some quality cover for Luongo. I like Joey personally but I'm not sure he is the answer. I'm mostly glad we didn't get Zahore though, he's injured again already. Dodged that bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
