From the Gazette "Some big earners leaving next summer will free up space on the teamsheet and in the wage bill for Academy graduates or young, hungry players may chime with the new strategic planning to make the club sustainable" It's virtually copy and pasting articles from the Southgate era.

I think the shift in club philosophy is that academy players need to be given a chance to play first team football... the whole remit of the academy was / is to find enough quality players that when we sell they ultimately help self sustain the club... that however in my opinion is a dream that very rarely becomes reality Link to post Share on other sites

Gibson might be happy with that though if we were full of local lads. Edited July 17, 2019 by Duvel 2 Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,449 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Got the feeling that if MB goes it won't be until after our window closes. Then it will be a cheap loan or a very cheap buy option. Every one buying seems to accept we're skint every one selling thinks we still have money hidden under the sofa. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the window for permanent and loan signings in this country closes at same time this year, estonpidge. Rest of Europes transfer window is 31st August though i think. Thus if MB goes after our window closes we can't replace him even with a loan until Jan (unless we sign a free agent). Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Any good free agents available? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think burnley are after a danish talent at right back. Joachim Mähle. Will be a good signing. But might make it easiest to strike a deal for Fry; cash plus Lowton. Link to post Share on other sites

If only we could facilitate keeping him somehow, as he really has the talent when playing in a good footballing side. He's probably happier to be back now that Hugill and Pulis have gone. Maybe he's waiting until we play Wigan so he can get his revenge on Hugill, haha. Link to post Share on other sites
