Borodane 6,246 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 In other news, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle all linked with Jota. Looks like he'll be off to the Premiership. Yeah that was to be expected after being so good in since he returned in January. Cracking player. Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,937 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Would people accept £30m for Gibson and then bringing somebody like Kyle Bartley in as his replacement? As for Assombalonga, my Forest mate says that he only seemingly scores big goals, which is not a bad trait to have! Link to post Share on other sites
GwenStuani 4 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 With GM reportedly having a £30m transfer kitty, I was wondering how that works. Would it be a) Go out and spend up to £30m on the players you want and Bauser will sort the contracts out. Or b) For example Assombalonga would cost:- Transfer fee = £10m Wages = £20k per week Contract length 4yrs Total cost £14million Leaving £16 for a similar deal for a similar priced player Don't worry too much about wages. Incoming wages will replace the outgoing wages. I'm assuming it's £30m on top of any income from sales too. Not a bad position to be in when you've got some very sought after assets Link to post Share on other sites

He is a big match player Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think Assombalonga would be the perfect addition. Gestede is the big physical force, Bamford the classy striker who knows all the right runs to make and Assombalonga who is just pace, power and finishing. Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Rather have Adomah back than McGeady to be honest, snap your hand off for Assombalonga though Link to post Share on other sites

As for Assombalonga, my Forest mate says that he only seemingly scores big goals, which is not a bad trait to have! Really depends on a lot of things. If we can get all our targets without selling him I'd obviously like to keep him, but I don't think the reported 30 million transfer kitty will be enough to get a keeper, a RB, two wingers, an AM and a ST. (I'm thinking a straight swap between De Roon and a new guy). Keeping Gibson would massively improve our chances, but I think we need the money to strenghten a lot of areas.

Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Assombalonga would be a cracking signing Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 RB, don't think we'll buy until we move at least one right sided defender on striker, think Stuani will be given the chance if he stays, CM/AM think we'll move bodies on before we bring anyone in here as well. I know we have the money but we don't want to end up like QPR etc with more players than squad places. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I really can't see Barragan, Ramirez and Stuani stay and we can't really wait for them to be offloaded if better targets are available now. Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Ramierz is a special case, the others Monk may want to keep, but we shall find out soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Stuani could be a good option up front but it looked like his head was gone when he played towards the end of the season. I know he looked pretty lost most the time but he at least put the effort in. He didn't look bothered towards the end. Added in with the fact we have 2 ready made Championship strikers in Bamford and Gestede yet are seemingly looking to boost our talent with the links to Assombalonga, I can't see Stuani sticking around.
