I'd imagine that at least some of the targets might be very different. That's been my take on the delay in signings anyway

Yep I think it’s bollox about waiting but I do need a good answer as to the delay in any more than Mr Dasilva

Different?

 

[Samo]

I've just heard that there is no money until Vik is sold and the Executive Chairman isn't willing to front anything up while the sale goes through

Like I said on another thread, this makes no sense at all as it implies that if Vik is not sold for whatever reason, we would be buying no players at all in this window.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I can’t tell if you’re joking

I am not joking

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I am not joking

We have another ITK for the list.

That statement is likely true though isn't it? Our whole transfer strategy is based on selling him for a big fee.

 

[Martin180]

Yet we've freed up some of last season's wage bill , so there has to money available?

Well given i've made a couple of these previously i'm not bothered if you question the voracity of it

 

[Speedie's Head]

well perhaps Tesco Express rather than the Youth Club u-17 reserves.

 

[djr8369]

I am not joking

What about frees with the wages we have available? Ok DaSilva but surely we’ll be looking for more free agents.

 

[hill83]

Not long now again

 

[Sky Blue 1987]

I am not joking

I heard the same as this on Tuesday

Which means we’re in for an excellent transfer window next season

 

[Robinshio]

to an extent he is correct
if we didnt sell Vik, there would be players incoming, but they would be very different players

so of course we would do business but would be only loans and free transfers / minimal fees
The Vik money gives us much more strength in the window

I am not an itk as such but the above is correct

 

[djr8369]

I guess this is the disagreement GIMOC keeps teasing.

You’ve heard that or it’s correct in that it seems obvious to you?

That would seem to suggest that King only bought the club because there was a 20m asset to sell. And if that's true we are indeed fucked.

Something tells me Doug hasn’t got a penny to spend

 

[David O'Day]

We are trying to sign players

FFS calm down

 

[Robinshio]

i have heard but only indirectly so not saying it is fact, but at the same time it makes sense

 

[djr8369]

The implication is that MR will see a decent chunk of the fee?

 

[stgeorge1966]

It's happening lads and lasses

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

It's happening lads and lasses

What?
- Signing?
- Gyokeres going?
- Hamer signing?
- Doug selling up?

 

[djr8369]

As bad as it sounds you wouldn’t try and scrape a few million together if you thought you’d get 20 million in a few days.

 

[TomRad85]

Doug laid some more grass?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Anything in particular? Opening of a new urinal? Jack the fish is in town? Your cat speaks?

 

[fatso]

It's happening lads and lasses

What's happening?

 

[Skyblue_CP]

It's happening lads and lasses

What is? And if not today then same again tomorrow?

The door is getting repaired?

The are also frees and 'frees'. Some have a big signing off fees attached. Maybe those targets are different too...

@slowpoke given you some women advice??

 

[AOM]

 

[Alkhen]

Dunno what is so hard for people to understand?

We need to wait for the money from the sale of Vik to know what our budget is. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be a budget if the sale collapsed though. It would be considerably smaller yes but there will be a budget for every scenario.

Absolutely no point making filler buys now when we could pool the total budget and buy some quality a little later in the window. It will come together, I'm 100% sure of it.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I've just heard that there is no money until Vik is sold and the Executive Chairman isn't willing to front anything up while the sale goes through

So if Gyokores isn't sold, we can't sign permanent players then ?
