It just creates a mad panic in England but no where else. What's the point? Just let the window play out I'm all for staggering it so that League 1 & 2 clubs have another 1, possibly 2 months on the prem clubs - especially if loans can be agreed. Championship not so sure, but I definitely don't like it closing before the Prem season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 This just published on the Guardian. That's 6 (six) times his wages that Brighton are offering.

Wright was played on the left when he first joined us and looked extremely fragile because he really hasn’t a good left foot. We’ve been spoiled by Webster’s two-footedness. To replace him we’ll either need a left-footer imo or another two-footer (if another exists within our price range). Sure it is a concern but it is worst case scenario. We have seen him and Flint and him and Baker be part of a 60 point team a couple years ago. Think most would consider Kalas(who could probably play on the left well enough) better than Flint and Baker. So you’d assume Kalas and Wright could make that happen as well. Though thinking about it Wright played RB most that season but was a major part of us staying up the year before with Flint. 1 minute ago, petehinton said: £20m + £5m add ons, Matt Clarke loaned to us as part, Kasey Palmer joining permanent for £3m, Moore in for £3m and want another 'pacey' striker in on loan This would be a dream scenario. I think we need Kasey Palmer more than a goal scorer tbh. I know I am in the minority but Palmer was usually involved in a couple goals once he got on the pitch. Him and pacy striker plus Moore would put us in the auto promotion. Though I would maybe try and go foreign again instead of Moore and see what 6-7m could buy me.

Thing is if Palmer joins don't we then have him, Brownhill, Szmodics, Paterson, even add Weimann and Eliasson all competing for those attacking midfield spots behind Fammy? I appreciate they don't naturally play in exactly the same way but it seems like a lot of players to have up there, all at similar stages of their career (bar Weimann). Can't see us getting another RB in as I think we're settled on Hunt being covered by Wright and Vyner - probably not perfect but "it'll do". If (when) Webster goes then that money surely has to be pegged for a striker and a replacement CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 As fantastic a player Webster is I can't help but think this is for the best. 20mil + on top of the 15mil for Kelly is incredible. With what Johnson said today about a lot of bids from different clubs I fail to believe they haven't thought for the last month that he would be off. There must be plans in place to Strengthen the first 11. If the loss of Webster doesn't result in us being stronger all round I would be surprised and disappointed. There was no way were turning that money down what with Webster surely wanting a move to the Premier league. These next 8 or 9 days you would think will show our ambition for the coming season.

We are trying to manage more responsibly and will not get into the mess some clubs have, and will, but our wages to turnover ratio is still bad. Love the game, hate the business.

Webster is not worth £20 million, in the same Kelly wasn’t worth £13 million, and Maguire isn’t worth £80 million. The game is going to eat itself up, and at the same time Bury’s first game of the season is being cancelled and maybe their second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpcity Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 20m+ is very good and if we can get Clarke on loan as part of the deal and he's as good as people say then definitely sell. Good move for him as well as 1 good season in the prem and he could join a bigger club and more money for us with a sell on. With the money we're getting it's looking like we are using some for Palmer who although some say we don't need can give us that added spark as he clearly has something about him. Plus some more money for a number 9 either permanent or a loan, I think we'll go foreign as there isn't much in England on offer, then a midfielder to replace/compete with Pack . Possibly a right back could be on the cards being as we took Thompson on trial it's something Johnson must think we're lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have Sky or BT and very rarely watch match of the day ( sometimes watch if weve had a great result) The gaps between the top six and the rest, the ever increasing gap between the divisions is shite. I hate the more and more lack of Saturday games at 3oclock . Not really looking forward to the Leeds game as am up at 4 on the Monday, so even a win ***** up a good night!!!
