Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 No need for panic. I have no inside knowledge but I have opinions! 7Hutton would be an excellent addition to the squad. He's on a free. He has masses of experience. He could be a fantastic mentor for some of our youngsters. I still have a feeling that we will be bringing in 2 premier league loans (likely coming from West Ham/Liverpool/Spurs) Ryan Kent one is very interesting. I don't think we are favourites to get him but he is definitely leaving Liverpool. He's removed all photos etc from social media linked to Liverpool. Asking price started at 10 is now at 7. I don't think we are favourites but you just never know. Leeds and Geordies potentially might spend 5-7 million on him. If not, then I think we'd be in for loan alongside Rangers and possibly Leeds/Newcastle/derby All just hunches - no info Link to post Share on other sites

I think the thought process is that Boro were in for him with second bid and then Bristol came in. Could be they have offered more money and Charlton pulled plug on Boro move. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In which case 1) He signs for Boro 2) Bristol offered more money and Charlton pulled the deal from us 3) Bristol offered him a better package in his eyes Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,331 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hopefully the woodgate and Keane duo will persuade him. Remember we have beaten derby and Brentford to players already it seems 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Villa got up on the back of hijacking our bids/targets. Why shouldn’t city see that as the route to Premier league riches... ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jamesp 125 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Gutted if we miss out on him, he looks like the sort of player that could be worth 15+ million in a few years. We are still paying for our poor previous transfers though so we probably can’t compete with these other sides Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Due to the way football in England is becoming southern centric at the moment, I’m not sure under the current FFP rules a club from the Northern regions can do to attract players other than by having a proven package that can be offered that overcomes some of the obstacles of purely location. The North West bubble around Manchester and Liverpool only works because they can still offer a full package to potential targets. But even Liverpool before Klopp started to see that if they matched everything offered by a southern based club, then it was going to be down to playing for Liverpool over Living in the south which as a family package to players is really good, and as the number of Southern based premier clubs increases then the premium that has to be in the package to get players to come north becomes sometimes unobtainable.
