Transfer targets (58 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

I remember DK saying in an interview that paying substantial add ons to clubs if we get promoted to the Premiership is pennies with the income that suddenly hits the club.

I mean it’s very true and good business sense.

Has any club at League 2 level ever sold a striker for more than we sold McNulty for?... Which proved to be a terrible deal for Reading. Genuinely don't know the answer to this. Hard to gage what the market value for the League 2 top goalscorer at 26 would be.

Watkins

Good username

Who might the player be, Tavares?

Watkins

£1.8m for a 22 year old (admittedly 6 years ago) is an attractive deal as it showed with what Brentford sold him for. Not sure Longstaff would have a re-sale value. Quite like the idea of the Wimbledon striker but am pretty underwhelmed by Longstaff.

Just watched his 42 goal highlight season on YouTube. Can’t say I’m convinced he offers us anything more than what we have already. Looks like he is a poacher. No real sign of any pace. Certainly not worth the figures being suggested.

Ollie Watkins went from Exeter to Brentford for £6.5m

Billy Sharp £2.7m from Scunthorpe to Sheffield United

Same I’d be disapointed with longstaff. Langstaff would be a good signing though.

I assume he read Godden on here

L2 is absolutely miles off Championship level and goal scorers particularly have trouble stepping up. Have real doubts about this even at £2m.

Scunthorpe were a league 1 team, they got promoted to the Championship as a result of Sharp's final season there

Understandable

He didn't.

Billy Sharp £2.7m from Scunthorpe to Sheffield United

Scunthorpe were in League One.

Watkins went for 1.8m and Scunthorpe were in League One

 

[Ccfcisparks]

This is the sort of signing we make and everyone asks “why are we signing him” or somebody else signs and we say “why didn’t we sign him”

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I looked at some article and took the fees. Anyway… I’m not bothered. I think Langstaff would be a decent signing for a £2m

 

[Great_Expectations]

Just read ~15 pages to catch up; what a rollercoaster.

Started strong with the ITK back and forth, nosedived with the puns and then steadily rose to the peak with the Langstaff rumour looking pretty likely (based on the NCFC ITK).

Re Langstaff, £2m seems quite high for a soon to be 27 year old L2 striker with limited resale options. Conversely, his goal scoring record is really strong and despite the level they were scored, it shows he’s got a goalscorers instinct. £1/1.5m with a load of add ones would feel better.

So Villa were wrong to spend a few million on Ollie Watkins, Brentford were wrong to pay £6.5 million for Ivan Toney and back in day Leicester were wrong to pay a million for non league Jamie Vardy.

 

[David O'Day]

They are skint I believe but if they have the dosh good luck to them.

they'll still have a bit of cash if needed rupert

I think Villa should have only paid once for Watkins TBH.

You have this weird habit of reading my posts in the strangest way then going mental about your misinterpretation.

 

[robbiethemole]

Rumour is he wants £25k as that’s what Wright is on. I think it’s worth it TBH. Certainly more than more over three years for Langstaff.

where did you get that from, as SBBucks will want chapter and verse proof???

 

[SkyblueDad]

I hope they have and spend it well, we have finished with them this season

 

[Mcbean]

I’m sorry but anyone in league 2 is a million tops

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Who’s the midfielder

All I’m gonna say until I receive more info is that his surname is quite similar to hilßner

Mind you have a point Watkins is 28 & Toney 27 in March.

It's not personal

Is this real ?

You should explain this to the selling clubs in League 2

Not sure him viewing a story on Instagram that he’s been tagged is much to go off. Will probably have just got a notification and clicked on it.

If you have real doubts @shmmeee , the club should go all out to get him

 

[Terry_dactyl]

It’s McNulty to Reading all over again!

 

[shmmeee]

Should always be the McNulter, never the McNultee

sign him then, the bedworth reverse nostradamus doesn't fancy him so he is a sure thing

Exactly!
