Summer Transfer Window

[SwanseaBoy123]

Got it on good authority the club are waiting to offload Vipotnik so the new striker can have the number 9 shirt.

Selling Vipotnik and getting a good ST (Still gutted we missed out on Kone) would be the best window we've had since the prem days

Something doesn't add up for me. Although I'm not too familiar with the rules of fair play, many players (probably not cheap) have arrived in and few have left. Considering the club's losses in recent years, I have a feeling that in order to balance the books, a more significant player will have to be sold. Franco?

Didn't they allude to some big sponsorship deals on the horizon too at the forum? Anything that helps our commercial income will offset against PSR.

I hope not, we may be waiting a while for takers.

I don't get all the hate for Vipotnik. OK, he's no Jason Scotland but we've had a lot worse. Surely he'd make good back up to our new striker?

Give him the old 1+8 like Zamorano had at Inter when Ronaldo took the no 9.

With Isak refusing to play for Newcastle and making his place in the team untenable and Liverpool not meeting the asking price, maybe we could make a cheeky bid to loan him until January to allow the dust to settle

Gorringe claimed at the forum last week that the club have saved a couple of mil in operations costs; no idea how.

I've no idea either. But perhaps that's why, about 6 years ago, the previous owners wouldn't let the Supporter Director at the time - a qualified accountant - have a look at the full accounts without signing an NDA.

Not that I'm suggesting anything untoward went on, you understand...

A lot of us just don't think he's very good, no hate at all.

I think he's alright, but he's clearly not suited to our style of play. Would be surprised if we kept him as back up considering the wage he'll be on, and the quite high sale value we can get from him (age, international pedigree)

 

[Ringwood]

The longer Vip isn't playing the more fans will say he needs a run in he side to get up to speed.

For me he has too many key elements of being a striker at this level missing. The following are all debatable... very little positional sense, no pace , no aerial ability and hides in a physical battle.

Would be good if Vip steps up and proves us all wrong

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Said this before but bears repeating - if you're a striker but you can't get in ahead of Cullen, then you've not got much going for you.

 

[Dr. Winston]

We've moved a lot of higher earners on, plus transfer fees aren't paid in one lump. Most will be spread over the duration of the contract to minimise the cost for PSR purposes. I believe it's called "The Chelsea Method".

No doubt they're expecting a significantly enhanced commercial income based on the Snoop/Modric stuff, and I wouldn't rule out another similar announcement or two over the coming season. Imagine getting a US sporting superstar name on board?

We're still going to need ongoing financial subsidy regardless of this though, hopefully with a chunk of that going towards reinstating Cat 1 Academy status.

From Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton to Ethan Galbraith, Gonçalo Franco, Malick Yalcouyé, Marko Stamenić and Melter Widell.

I used to pray for days like this.

'Melter' Widell Has he ventured too far south from Sweden?
