Dan's Summer Transfer Thread. Aka: " Post Mortem Time""


Recommended Posts

Warnock saying he couldn't get hold of Bausor today. Seems a bit bizarre? Our manager can't get hold of the chief executive who is away negotiating transfers. Shouldn't they be on the phone every few hours?

Embargo threat

Sorry, what? We had a threat of an embargo and were talking about spending £6m on Muniz and £4m on Payero?

Well that has been a strange and depressing few pages… a threat of transfer embargo 🤷‍♂️
 

On a serious note, do we have a genuine issue with our recruitment team and closing deals or is Middlesbrough just a really unattractive option?

He's on pay as you go but got stung by roaming charges and couldn't find anywhere to go to top up, all understandable

Nah Fulham are just currently a better option with more money

It’s a tough one to figure out, we seem to have no problem agreeing deals with clubs and players.

We get plenty of medicals done, it ALWAYS seems to be when we get to the ‘ironing out the details’ part where things go quiet all of a sudden.

There is no way to know if it’s us causing things to break down, the selling club or the agent. The ITk people always talk about us messing around and losing deals. That theory fits but obviously no way to know for sure.

Gibson hates football agents, there's your biggest problem

Sounded to me like a cheeky dig. I get the feeling that Warnock would prefer someone like Michael Smith over a Rodrigo Muniz..

I got that feeling as well.  NW keeps talking about Steve wanting to recruit from S America and getting excited by those types of deals.  He also said that we have missed out on deals by waiting

Not sure why we kept Warnock in for another season if we clearly want to go another transfer route to him. It seems quite clear from transfers so far that we are happy to spend lots of money on what the recruitment team wants and very little on players Warnock wants(probably quite rightly). There’s no real chance of us going up at the moment so I think we should have gone with another manager this season

Ameobi 6ft4

Crooks 6ft4

Uche 6ft3

Think it's pretty obvious what Warnock wants. Probably for the best we don't sign Payero. Lad will be out with a knackered neck within weeks from watching the ball being launched over his head.

What have the EFL said about the pandemic seasons FY? are they taking a gap year of does it still count?

No gap years unfortunately. Although I suppose in a roundabout way there is a little bit. Rather than reporting on 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20 as a 3 year cycle. They're actually asking clubs to report on a 4 year cycle, so 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21.

But they are going to merge 2019/20 and 2020/21 financial years effectively into 1 year (season). Then the average of both those years will be used for the actual figures used for FFP. 

They have also said loss of income (EFL call it COVID costs) is to be considered for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 season only.

Out of interest do you actually think Ameobi is a target man or good in the air? Even Ikpeazu isn't necessarily known for his aerial presence
