Middlesbrough bid £5m for Whittaker.

we should be in the race for him

That bid won’t succeed. It’ll be £8-10m as a minimum I would have thought.

Why? We’re trying to offload excess forwards to reinvest in our defence and midfield. We don’t have £5m and if we did an average striker no better than what we have would not be a smart move

Don't think he's a realistic target for us

He’s a RW and the fact we have no depth there is meaning we are having to change formation.

He’s miles better than Sakamoto too

No.We need strengthening in other areas first and he's likely to go for a lot more than that which we can't afford anyway.

I ask those questions of myself every morning.

Same.

Why can’t we afford it?

 

[skybluecam]

Why can’t we afford it?

because we obviously don't have the money?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Cus the owners skint, thought so.

 

[Chris1987]

Because the money was spent on rebuilding the squad . It's not a bottomless pit as you seem to think

He expects Doug to pay for unlimited transfers out of his own pocket but doesn't appreciate that it then becomes a debt owed by the club.

lol

Anyone who thought he was going to come in and plough £20/30m a year into the club is deluded.

Think this is likely from the expected Latte Lath proceeds.

Liam Lindsay signed a new deal at Preston. I know a few people pitched him as a signing they'd have liked.

I mean he'd cost us up to 8m, we are much better off spending that on the defence and midfield

Shame as would have liked him in but thinking on it, looking at stats his ball playing might of left a lot to be desired.

 

[Nick]

Anybody else fuming if we don't get players we never tried to get but we can pretend they chose other clubs over us or we couldn't afford them?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Don't think he's a realistic target for us

Didn’t they turn down 12 million from a serie A team last year

[Winny the Bish]

Schlupp would be an unreal addition.

 

[Andy pandy]

Any chance of talking about football not just this post don’t understand the animosity p u s b

 

[edgy]

Ahhh just what we need. Lampard vs Robins.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Surely he’d choose us over stoke

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Surely he’d choose us over stoke

£15k or £25k mmmmm

 

[Bristol sky blue]

Know he is versatile, but what position has he played most regularly in his career?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’s on 60k a week apparently, would have to be a loan

 

[edgy]

Schlupp is a LW isn't he? Do we need a signing there with EMC & Haji returning?

 

[David O'Day]

See that would be a great signing, Robins do one you twat

 

[Nick]

Left sided midfield mainly I think.

 

[David O'Day]

He has played CM a lot as he got older

Just gone online so could be bollocks but can see he’s listed as a left-back, Wingback, CM, LW and ST

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Possibly play him on the left side of cm then with sheaf in the middle and rudoni/Allen on the right

He's played midfield quite a bit in his older age
