Latte Lath done deal

[Jedi boro]

Yes, they get excited about unknowns walking through the door who turn out to be absolute duffers.

Well Call me old fashioned but I like to actually see a player kick a ball before I pass any comment on them…but hey that’s just me.

 

[Coluka]

Probably right.......but on the flip side if £20m for Archer can be broken into 4 x £5m payments .....

Or 5 x £4M better still

Is there a link to this over the line signing ?

£3.5m in the kitty
£13m from Akpom
Engles £1.3m
Latte Laff £4.3

That looks like Cameron Archer money to me..

Or Gibsons new pub

 

[newyddion]

Or Gibsons new pub

or five MEGA LOANS

 

[Coluka]

Well i don’t like sell on clauses, but Atalanta must think he has a fair chance of doing well to insist on it, so thats a good sign

Done Deal

Thanks HM

 

[Aztec chimera]

Yes but anyone we buy would be structured the same way so it doesn’t matter.

Or we could take a bank loan on the strength of guaranteed payments. As we did pre-season.

Atalanta are obviously known for their success with scouting and transfers so him being spotted and signed by them is positive, though them allowing him to move on after selling their main striker to Man United…

Then again, they’re playing in Serie A and after a Champions League place so they will be after a different calibre if player I suppose. And they’ve no doubt turned a nice little profit on him as well.

Were gambling so much on unproven players to me thats worrying. U imagine the players we can get on loan will be young. We really need some ready to go players

 

[gravy173]

Hasn’t played a game in five years for them though, is he more Patrick Bamford like or Alex Nimely though?

 

[JM14]

Don’t have a good feeling about this ons

Is as good as we can get for the kind of money we have. Seems worth a bit of a risk.

Similar money to what we would have spent on Stewart who would be a far bigger risk

Poor record bar last season

 

[JM14]

Poor record bar last season

Anyone with a solid 15 goal season consistently at that age would cost over 20 million. It’s either this or an untested premier league loan, who would leave us in this exact position again next summer

Hmm where’ve I seen that before.

You have so many comments on here about how good clubs like Brentford, Brighton etc are doing by bringing in unknowns and selling them on at a profit and building a squad of decent young players.

Well it took them a while to get the turnover to do it successfully, they're there now, albeit probably in the short term as far as the top flight goes.

Is that what we're trying, if so it needs patience, and as with the clubs mentioned, possibly some good football to watch in the meantime.

Brighton and Brentford spending 5 million on the likes of macaliister as a bit of a punt is the same as us spending 500k on silvera, this is the equivalent to a 50 million pound signing for them, it’s a massive chunk of the budget

 

[Easterside_Red]

'Done deal' as in fee agreed, personal terms agreed and medical passed?

Or just repeating what's been on twitter all day?
