Gibson invests up to the absolute maximum the rules allow him to every year, what would you have him do differently? Employ people that spend his money better. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We are paying the price of the misguided backing of Monk and to a degree Pulis. I don't think we will move forward as some would like until Braithwaite, Assombalonga, Flint and Fletcher are moved on. They are the long term liabilities that need addressing. Link to post Share on other sites

He's raised the levels at the club with everyone pulling together in the same direction. Can see them going up this season. You're right; don't think we are going to do any meaningful business until the big earners go. It's just so frustrating watching the clock tick knowing that we have so much to do!

This. And Costa is a loan for first year. Harrison, CB from Brighton and Clarke are all loans also. So technically they not spent any of the £16m they got this summer.

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,178 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can see Cardiff coming for Britt. Wonder if @Raf smog @Lurkerhave heard any thing new. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Lot of people seemingly putting the full blame on Monk and Pulis for our transfer dealings over last couple of years, for me the culpability always needs to be with the people who are making and executing these deals. They’ve paid overinflated fees and overinflated wages, that can only be the fault of Gibson, Bausor and the recruitment team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,653 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 A match made in heaven.. Seen a clip of the big man v Pools. He's one man who won't be able to fit in this new adventurous system so he is one who I would have no problem with selling... Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Flint might do well for Warnock so long as he doesn't have another stinker of a season. Match made in heaven. Let's just hope he does actually fetch us some decent money. He absolutely doesn't fit into what we're trying to do. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I was really excited when we bought flint I thought hed be great for us. But after last season and what we're trying to do now and his play style...I think it might be good for himself and his career as well as for us to move on. Try and get 5m and run Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I mean as long as it's around 5m I'd say sell, we bought him for that rising to 7m with add-ons, so hopefully those add-ons weren't met. If it's for about 3m I'd say keep, I just have a feeling he'd do alright for us. Link to post Share on other sites
