Transfer targets (9 Viewers)

[Martin180]

If Brekalo was that good would he really be pushing for a move to Orlando fucking City

He isn't, I read it as he's pushing for a move . If he really wants to go MLS then we haven't missed out

 

---

[Martin180]

it just no one knows if we are actually interested, it's not a position of need and it looks like he is off to the MLS and not a bigger European league

I agree we currently don't need him but if we dont sign Binks and Fadz retires/moves on then we do . He's injured at the moment so would be a signing very much for next season

Watched Bristol City about three times recently and have a lot of time for their young centre forward Tommy Conway only 21 but has pace, good in the air and a decent chance taker especially when one on one, not sure who MR is eyeing up but he could be worth a bid, one for the future perhaps.

Good player slowpoke admittedly

but it’s very rare we’ll be buying one of a championship teams best players, unless it’s one of the bottom 4 or 5.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Don’t think Bristol are as flush as they were but see what you say.

 

[Alkhen]

Has anyone seen him play? The amount people mention him you'd think he was Baresi meets Maldini

At this point I'm questioning if someone made him up with Ai and are having us all on with fake reports!

Never heard of him yet people harp on like he'd walk into our team I think Kitching and Thomas will be superb for years to come

They've made £35m in player sales in the last 12 months

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A bit like Scott and Semenyo before him, when he moves it’ll be to the Prem

 

[SkyblueDad]

Yes they have but had to reduce a sky high wage bill not sure if much of that dosh went to the club to spend.

They've just £1.3m on Gardner-Hickman so they're not skint

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

They are massively in the hole. Net losses of over £20 million despite player sales

Bristol City reduce losses but still £22.2m in the red for 2022/23

The fee gained for the transfer of Antoine Semenyo to Bournemouth helped ease the losses

And they are still spending money

Must consider it a manageable debt. We probably had similar debts on paper when we shelled out a million quid for Vik

Alex Scott will have reduced those losses though, as it states that wasn’t included in that

Rehashing an old rumour but just read that Atalanta are interested in Morgan Whittaker. Tenuous but would fit with Nixon's "ambitious" target story. We know we have had an interest in him previously and he fits the brief for a left sided forward. Would certainly be ambitious to be able to persuade Plymouth to let him go

We can't compete with Atalanta

 

[procdoc]

Robins told me we are after Jack Clarke

 

[no_loyalty]

LW Nicolas Kuhn has just signed for Celtic, did someone say we were after a player but another club has now come in for him? no idea if this was the guy?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Robins told me we are after Jack Clarke

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

No but then they won't really be interested will they

 

[long way home]

I doubt we'd get Conway. However that's the type i think we need to run the channels. He is quick, runs all day and is a decent finisher, im sure its what type Robins is looking for but it will be a cheaper option to develop.

 

[Martin180]

No but then they won't really be interested will they

They are the Brighton of Serie A with their transfer policy so I wouldnt rule it out entirely

 

[Yank]

Don't know much about the guy but my brother is a big Celtic fan and I asked him about them signing him and he just flipped me off.


Read into that what you will.

I‘m no expert or ITK but I’d say your brother doesn’t like you much

I’d love Whittaker and really wanted us to go for him in the summer but he’s a right winger and he’d cost a fortune now.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Like most I’ve no idea on MRs thoughts but we have the £15 million Hamer money and possibly double that should Gyokeres move that’s £30 million all told I assume in the recruitment pot a cheeky bid might succeed.

 

[procdoc]

Robins went into a lot of detail last night about the scouting system we have in place and he said we never stop at looking at ways to improve the team. There’s so much that happens behind the scenes. Dean Austin and his team are basically all over Europe watching games. Then the analysts will look at the data. Robins will interview the player before deciding to sign them to make sure they fit in as a person and will add to the group.
The whole process of signing players is really fascinating to me. We all say we need to bring this and that in, it’s not as simple as that

Does Robins still go to watch the players or is he reliant on video clips only ?

 

[StrettoBoy]

That's as it should be. Having a contented squad and a good team spirit - which I believe we have at the moment - is very important.

I think MR has good man management skills.

The way he said it suggests Austin goes to watch and they report back to Robins

 

[SkyblueDad]

That’s the chief scouts job, he will have his European contacts. We recently recruited a scout from Leicester who was mainly their a European scout, poo pooed on here at the time by the “experts”

no longer with the club

 

[Deity]

The modern way but for sizeable investments I still think Robins should have seen them 2 or 3 times … probably an old fashioned view I accept.

[Chris1987]

Fingers crossed that Vik stays fit for the remainder of the season and keeps escalating his value by banging goals in.
The ultimate is a bidding war.
