Forgot about them players being so early.We did some early business last year tbf. Perisic was super early and Bissouma was in by mid-June.
But yeah I agree we could really do with getting in our keeper and first choice LCB in for pre-season as those are probably the biggest holes in the first 11 atm. If we leave key signings until late in the window and they miss out on Ange's pre-season then the slow start he's known for will be even slower.
Good grief. We seriously need to get rid.Dragon's miles off with Perisic wages isn't he? everywhere im looking it's reported to be around 180k pw.
Yeah doesn‘t really pass the sniff test. Unless we massively front loaded it with a huge signing on fee, or he’s got tonnes of bonuses to make up the difference.Dragon's miles off with Perisic wages isn't he? everywhere im looking it's reported to be around 180k pw.
Like last season you mean?Really wish we could be pro active gor a change and sign players early. Quite a few teams dignings players already.
Yet more than likely Levy will leave it till towards the end of the window to save on wages meaning we could miss out on players like Ndicka and probably Maddison.
That is depressing if true, what a waste of money, if there was ever an argument managers shouldn't just be 'backed' thats it right in front of your eyesDragon's miles off with Perisic wages isn't he? everywhere im looking it's reported to be around 180k pw.
But if the player has a preference for a club, the club probably knows and will try and get the price lowerIf we brought those 3 in and supplemented that with some youth, that would be a really, really good window.
The thing that worries me is United are heavily linked with Raya and Newcastle heavily linked with Maddison, meaning we can't take loads of time haggling the price down or else we'll miss out completely. We need to be decisive if those are Ange's main targets, and historically, we've not been.
Yes bloody pleaseHeard a whisper we have been looking at Theate
LCB who fits the profile of an Ange CB perfectly! Only seen him a few times but he's extremely comfortable on the ball and very good defensively. We could do far worse!Heard a whisper we have been looking at Theate
Assumed it was a typo i.e 160 not 60. £60 k wouldn't even make sense if we gave him a signing on bonus of say £5m, and then paid him £60k a week instead of £!60k ish per week.... why would we do it that way?Dragon's miles off with Perisic wages isn't he? everywhere im looking it's reported to be around 180k pw.
Just had a read up. LCB suited to pressing style. Sounds like sensible scouting you sure it’s usHeard a whisper we have been looking at Theate
He's exactly what we need at LCB. He reminds me of Vertonghen so much. Yes please.LCB who fits the profile of an Ange CB perfectly! Only seen him a few times but he's extremely comfortable on the ball and very good defensively. We could do far worse!
Theate and Laporte would be huge signings if they come off. Really hope we can complete these.He's exactly what we need at LCB. He reminds me of Vertonghen so much. Yes please.
I have no inside information, but we may have covenants on our loans that restrict our salaries as a percentage of turnover, which would make this kind of arrangement more attractive?Assumed it was a typo i.e 160 not 60. £60 k wouldn't even make sense if we gave him a signing on bonus of say £5m, and then paid him £60k a week instead of £!60k ish per week.... why would we do it that way?
Also missed of Sons wages didn't he ? Pretty sure Son would be £200k ish given that he'd be a very attractive target for plenty of clubs yet we've never had a problem with him.
