is it the entire palace squad ??, just about scrape that together for them
Probably 2+2 = a million, but heard on Talksport that Peterborough have had three bids of close to £3m today, two from Premiership clubs and one from a Championship club.
I wonder....
Why would we want to buy another football club? We have our own don't we...
I totally agree.
In addition, it looks like Gus and his team, are targeting REALLY promising young players, and not a bunch of "safe" has-beens. If all goes to (what appears to be their) plan, we could not only be building a team to challenge for the playoffs, but possibly automatic promotion. The good thing about such young players, is that, even if we do not get promotion this year, they will develop, in Gus' style of play, to have a real chance in the following year or two. Additionally, there is a real possibility that, if we do get into the Premiership within this time frame, they will have developed into a squad, that with selected additions, could reasonably challenge to stay up, rather than bombing like most teams going up tend to do.
The big signing will be Keane to prove his worth.
Would be good but it's not gonna happen. Close guess tho'
its interesting to see peoples viewa about buying a player for £3 million , its peanuts if you consider the amount clubs now pay for top international players , and very run of the mill for very good standard players
Are you telling us that you know who we are getting? Or just
Is that true in this league though? As mentioned earlier in the thread, I remain unconvinced that there are many players out there that could command a £3m transfer fee that would want to sign for us (certainly within our wage budget). Last summer players like Paddy Kenny (£750k) and Tommy Smith (£1.5m) went for well under that. In fact, I can't find a single transfer (obviously we'll never know the undisclosed fees, but I can't off the top of my head think of one that would be bigger) greater than the £2m Middlesborough paid Rangers for Kevin Thomson.
Sorry, busy feeding my son at the time! now edited! I very much doubt it also, but it's fun to speculate!
