mendieta420 988 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 They probably told Adama he could go when we thought we were signing Jota, so probs got the hump atm Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 German window is shut so no move there for Kent. Would quite like selling Traore and Kent on loan. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We really should have prioritised a high quality creative player over spending £6.5 million on a 3rd/4th choice raw striker (Fletcher). It's an utterly bizarre transfer decision. It's been done to death but people still aren't taking notice. The initial outlay was nowhere near £6.5m, it was probably not even half of that. The rest is in bonuses for goals/promotion. Basically, like Bamford, if we pay the full amount, it's because he's been one hell of a good signing. In terms of money, it would have very little bearing on who else we could bring in, though admittedly it would have an effect in terms of squad size. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 To be fair on Fletcher, you can see the lads got all the attributes. Monk probs didn't expect to keep Bamford&Gestede. Will be interesting to see who makes the squad with Braithwate back for Bolton. Especially if we're turning down near 10mil for Adama, would be crazy to not include him.

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The club making a big deal about the transfer fees and the club making a big deal about banning the reporters aren't the same thing. Two separate incidents. When did the club make a big deal about banning reporters? They didn't make an announcement about it to my recollection. Unless you meant making a big deal BY banning them. As for the suggestion that the incidents are separate... well of course, they didn't say "Because the Gazette said this, we're banning 2 reporters" but to imply they aren't linked seems a bit strange. As many others have said, the club targeted fees produced by the Gazette. They didn't blame anybody but the Gazette. They reinforced the idea that anything outside the official website may not be worth listening to in their 2nd article but the only one they mentioned by name was the Gazette. And around the same time the club ban Jono and Dom from the media room, IIRC. Unless there's something I'm not aware of or have forgotten about, I'm unsure as to how anyone can confidently say these incidents are not linked. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Other teams actually want our players now, and we're keeping them. That's a massive difference to where we've been in the very recent past. Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 this marvin johnson signing i'm liking. i've often seen the likes on kante, mahrez, vardy etc and thought why didnt we go for them instead of Leicester. i think this johnson lad could be one of those signings other fans will be thinking the same in a couple of years.

Duvel 2,446 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'll be happy if we just sign some random foreign player now, I don't mind if it ends up being the next Tarmo Monk as long as it gives us something to talk about. Garry's son? Yep, wanted to call him Tom but also integrate a local delicacy. Tom + Parmo = Tarmo Monk Lol :) Link to post Share on other sites

Dom Shaw wasn't allowed into monks introductory press conference from what I heard so that was much further back than the transfer issue. Link to post Share on other sites
Tudders80 674 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So we now have 2 left backs and a guy that can play left back....and Newcastle deal for a left back falls through leaving them no left backs.....not saying it will happen but if I was them I'd be enquiring about fabio or George. Just down the road so easy to get there and both have premier league experience. Sorry, I just wrote that didn't I!!! Link to post Share on other sites
