[Football] Transfer thread - other clubs

[Cowfold Seagull]

Hateful place.
Hateful fans.
Hateful player.

Might be interesting in that Ashley or Vokes might be available at a cut price.

I really can't see Dyche letting Ashley go, he has become too important to Burnley and their style of play. I liked him when he was with us, but he has matured even more up there l think.

Probably a better player than Rodriguez in my opinion.

Rafa is probably just playing politics with Ashley, but there seems to be trouble at the Toon (again)

Good, and long may it continue

 

[Seasidesage]

I stated the two clubs he has played for and my statement is not factually incorrect. My point is that this player, like Leroy Fer, is a yo-yo player. There is nothing in my post which deviates from that view.

Third time equally unlucky hopefully

Watford looking to boost receipts from shirt sales with their new numbering system...




(OK, it's really just an announcement of Doucoure signing on for 5 years...)

Agree with that. Just wishful thinking on my part. Think he could perform a big role for us still.

Well it was us who helped to get rid of him, not you or I, but a sizebale minority of Brighton fans who helped to propel him through the exit door.

Fulham have confirmed the signing of defender Alfie Mawson on a four-year-deal from Swansea

Another good bit of business for Fulham imo

What's more surprising is that there's a couple of us able to look to the Albion's future and be excited, without constantly dragging up adequate players from the past.

 

[Motogull]

Croydon's transfer policy this summer seems to come from the 'beggars can't be choosers' chapter.

Take a risk on a player nobody else wants, but I accept that might come off.
See if a relegated player fancies a quick return to the top flight.
Look for players who may get limited game time because of many other signings.

Could be worse though.

 

[Weststander]

Fulham take their transfer spending this summer to over £75m, with more to come.

To contrast, I think we spent £40m last summer. (The PL broadcasting deal is no greater now).

Fulham and Wolves really going for it. It will be interesting to see of this approach keeps them out of the season-long relegation pack. West Ham are doing the same. Last season about 10 clubs were in the relegation mix (Everton and Leicester were never going down). Will it be a much smaller pool this coming season?

Wolves and Fulham will be in serious financial trouble if they get relegated this season - they are taking massive financial gambles!

Hang on, who said l wasn't excited about the future? but at the same time there is nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia.

And by the way, I certainly don't 'constantly' drag up players from the past.

£100m of new TV money per season, which has to cover transfer and agents fees, new player PL level wages and huge pay rises to the existing squad.

Brighton spent about half of it on fees, whereas Fulham are looking to double that on fees alone.

Something doesn't tally financially.

Never said you did.

What’s a transfer?

No doubt. As with all clubs, we have a massive amount of tools whose only interest in watching the games are to pick out a scapegoat and jeer them.

I seriously doubt it. Same clubs - West Ham + Burnley. Maybe Leicester.

They appear to be bringing in quality for most, if not all positions. I think this season is going to be a real dogfight to stay out of the bottom three-for a lot of clubs: us included.

Despite what the media will have you believe, I do think both Wolves and Fulham will be down there. When you look at their starting sides, they really are not THAT good in the premier league. No better than the likes of us, Watford, Huddersfield and the other sides expected to struggle. Serri is the only signing that either side have made that has made me think wow, he is the real deal and will move on to a bigger club next year. Apart from that, they're quite 'meh'.
