Mind the Gap Is Andy Tilson still their record signing? If so, that is a long time ago Bet they smash that this summer, what with them being the 5th richest club in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unlike ours, theirs seems to have proper contact with the club. And the tweet says that a coach confirms the transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What young lad wouldn't appreciate a little bit of French living before coming to our great City. Especially after they've been 'oop north for a spell? I really think this could work Can you imagine the accent though, by the time a young footballer, following this route, would have by the time they left us, Woodsy?

Times have changed. Big John 200 per week, Cheese and Tom 500, Chris Garland 600 at Chelsea? No ideal really. one thing is for sure apart from big John, all would have gone for money. As Garland did. who could blame them.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 He must be good, he is wearing a bandage on his wrist, noticed Tammy doing that recently as well. On the goals vid Angers also had another wrist bandager, so perhaps we should sign him as well. Of course it could have been lost in translation with something the coach asked them to do with Angers and b andages being similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Big transfer fee, sure, but this is a big statement of intent, and completely ties in with the "quality over quantity" mantra LJ's spoken of recently. Obviously seen very little of Pisano, but if he's good too, then that fits in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to see enough of last season to make a proper judgement, but I don't think we can really ignore bids for Flint. Bryan I'm less certain of, but whoever is lost, I'd imagine will go to a Premier League club, and we'll find replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, he backed him strongly last season the last thing he wants is for us to have a poor start and for pressure on Johnson to be applied. However, we did well last summer moving players on, and the corporate money the club must be making from the new stadium has to be taken into account. I'm not sure we necessarily have to sell players to fund this, but I have no doubt if we deceive big offers for any player it is likely we would sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously some deals make commercial sense (Kodjia) that we will make as ultimately we want to be self sufficient but we're in a pretty fortunate position financially. I expect us to spend big (£3m+) on another player this window - even without any big players leaving (Flint). Think we'll end up with a net spend of £10m+ assuming no one leaves.

ciderbeans Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 If we can find a player can really cross a good ball with whip, this guy could do a lot of damage in the air. Something we've been lacking for a long time is goals from balls crossed in from our wide on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I really like the look of him. His attributes should be well suited to the Championship. I don't think he'll quite score the goals like Abraham (purely because at this level that is a real rarity, 15 + normally has you in the top 10 strikers in the division) but he'll be a real threat and a major upgrade on what we currently have. Obviously it's only youtube clips but he looks a very cool & calm player when he gets in dangerous positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
