If so that equates to around £5.8m - a lot of dough to splash on 1 player. Especially when we've apparently been haggling over much smaller fees for other players. Do you suppose this is an indicator Gibson & Warnock expect to make a genuine promotion push this season? It'll be paid in installments. Reported fee also includes bonuses and other incentives. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Beckhams team bought another one of their players it said $6m in the media but it came out later it was more like $2m probably with addons. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 How many here dont rate Bola and Dijksteel? They were bought from League One ... Just saying ... Players should not be measured by where from they are bought ... They should be measured how they do on and off the pitch, to do their best for the club that bought them ... So I always welcome new players, regardless of where they come from ... And then I make my own opinion, when I see them play ... 😎 10 Link to post Share on other sites

And then I make my own opinion, when I see them play ... 😎 We will always judge our players based on how well they do for us, to be fair. It's why despite how promising Bola, Browne and Dijksteel had been for their previous clubs, we took Woodgate's season and thought Bola wasn't good enough, Browne might come good but was quite raw and Dijksteel looked hopeless before being injured. Difference with those 3 of course is that the players we're linked with or signing from lower divisions haven't exactly got their whole career ahead of them, they don't have much room to manoeuvre. It's not to say they're done with their growth but with the career they've had so far, people aren't convinced they will come good for us at this level. Ultimately, we should and hopefully will all give them a chance to do their thing here. As long as they're not massive bell-ends then I'll back them on the day when they put the shirt on for us. Ikpeazu is one I'm not overly convinced by but he'll 100% get his chance to prove me wrong and I hope he does. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TheHolgate 675 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 What is evident from translating Argentinian tweets/articles is how rated Payero is. Fingers crossed it gets done. If it is happening for 5m then clearly the club think it's worth the push financially. Link to post Share on other sites

We were poor over the second half of the season despite signing players in January that clearly aimed to solidify our place in the playoffs, and I also expected our transfer business this summer to be limited. So far, our actual signings have been pretty unspectacular, although there are indications of more ambitious business to come. Having said all of that, it doesn’t mean the club aren’t genuinely aiming for promotion. It doesn’t mean that’s not Gibson’s expectation and it doesn’t mean Warnock isn’t backing himself. So if that’s the message the club want to give out, I’ll judge our coming season to that standard. We did have injuries to key players and a shocking goalkeeper though, little changes could have made a big difference to our season as we were certainly in enough games. I don't think we need a spectacular summer to get around the playoffs, a few solid signings and luck with injuries could get us there. Equally though if we don't make up those fine margins it'll just be a repeat of last season 2 Link to post Share on other sites
