Well he’s scored consistently for two seasons but yes, nobody would pay that unless he did it for a year in the problemDom replied to my question of what equals mega money £20-25m. Dom says Gibbo would only start talking at £30m+
Nobody will pay that for a striker that has only scored consistently, ever, for 12 games
It's a tough one isnt it. And probably why the club pay KS to get it right and dont look for advice on these forums... :pIf you buy good players it can be hard to hold onto them and if you buy bad players it can be hard to get rid of them. Bad purchases can set you back years. High turnover makes it difficult to get a settled side capable of promotion as well.
The Rogers transfer might have been good financially but we need to be keeping players for 2 years minimum to be able to improve as a team. We didn't have a striker for about half of last season so to sell one now would be very frustrating.
Players have as much power as Gibbo. If he hears the club have an offer on the table to 4x what they paid last year and he has the offer to 4x his salary and go and play at the top end of one of the biggest leagues in Europe and play champions league football then he's not going to be happy that it is rejected because Gibbo is holding out for an unreasonably high offer. An unhappy player that ends up not performing, not getting promoted and not getting our money back on him in the future makes £15m or £20m look much more tempting.
No tax may help on that front.......Wouldn't his extra wages largely go on housing costs though?
It's not an obsession. It's what the club have stated they are trying to do.I thought everyone - club included - said it was about quality recruitment this summer, first team ready to go for top two?
We have work to do to bring them in, not undermine things by flogging our own quality.
This obsession with some of grasping profits and identifying more cheap bargains to rinse and repeat is crazy.
Buy to develop and flip for profit is fine, but surely the real objective is to get promoted and stay there, not flip players to cover inevitable ongoing championship losses.
Morris might well prove very good, I'm glad Ayling has been secured, Burgzorg might provide some cover, but we need two or three high calibre recruits.
We don't want to be adding a replacement for LL to that. Or Hackney or VdB.
Where did you see the Burzorg fee Mart? I had wondered what he'd cost but not seen anything other than undisclosed? I had hoped he'd been buttons as he was unwanted.Not sure that's quite true. We sold sold Rogers for 12 rising to 15m and since then bought Azzaz for 3m, Morris for 3m, Burgzorg for 2.5m, that young defender for 500k. so we've brought 12m in and 9m out so far.

Problem is as we have seen with some players if their head is turned its difficult to keep an unhappy player.Good, shows we've got a backbone.

I saw it mentioned in a couple of places at the time, press not just social media posts. Personally I felt that sounded a bit high, but maybe that’s with add ons?!Where did you see the Burzorg fee Mart? I had wondered what he'd cost but not seen anything other than undisclosed?

KS has talked about this before. It's not easy to stand in a player's way if a good offer comes in for them. If big clubs come in for our talent and big numbers start get thrown about then Boro will need to listen. Players want to play in the top leagues and earn the top money.It's a tough one isnt it. And probably why the club pay KS to get it right and dont look for advice on these forums... :p
Does seem a tad high, he was in his last year at Mainz wasn't he? After an unexceptional loan with rumours of falls out with coaching staff. Seems a decent chunk.I saw it mentioned in a couple of places at the time, press not just social media posts. Personally I felt that sounded a bit high, but maybe that’s with add ons?!![]()
We've also brought in Crooks's fee (anywhere between £1m and £4m depending on what you read), Coulson for a minimal fee and released McNair.Not sure that's quite true. We sold sold Rogers for 12 rising to 15m and since then bought Azzaz for 3m, Morris for 3m, Burgzorg for 2.5m, that young defender for 500k. so we've brought 12m in and 9m out so far.
agreed, the timing of when to "go for it" is difficult, yes I've heard it likened to a credit limit, before, I don't quite agree with that though, it isn't household finances. If teams are building up a headroom, then go for it, they will likely have significant more resources available than those wh don't. It's a gamble but you don't win if you don't bet. The clubs finances are in good shape right now, so using that FFP rather than wasting it seems fairly prudent. I think there will be two more signings, with Dijksteel and Hoppe leaving. Then it's a case of keeping FFP headroom available in case we need a january acquisition to push us over the line.We've also brought in Crooks's fee (anywhere between £1m and £4m depending on what you read), Coulson for a minimal fee and released McNair.
Collectively I would think McNair / Crooks / Rogers / Coulson would be earning significantly more than Azaz / Morris / Burgzorg / Hunt so we should have reduced our wage bill as well.
I think we are well in the black with our transfer dealings in 2024. No sign of the summer war chest. The FFP headroom is there but the headroom is a credit limit. Just because we can spend, doesn't mean we will.
