Sammie Szmodics: Ipswich agree fee for Blackburn striker before Premier League return

Blackburn accept an offer from Ipswich for forward Sammie Szmodics that could rise to about £11m.

www.bbc.co.uk

Simms top scorer here we go!

Will be interesting to see how much of that fee Eustace gets to spend. Could either tank Blackburn or turn them into a strong side again.

I’d suggest very little being as they already got a large wedge for Wharton earlier in the year and have barely spent any of it

their owners have a big court case back in India and money is tight for Blackburn at the moment apparently

 

[Mcbean]

As we know it’s bloody difficult and takes time to find a top striker fortunately he will be gone before we play them

Didn't they have to cut their wage budget by 25% last season ?

Burnley sold Odobert who was class the other night

 

[PVA]

Yeah he's a great talent.

£25m to Spurs

It’s absolutely ridiculous the sums that these parachute clubs are able to generate for their players. They’re already getting what £100m? just for being in the Prem last season and they can generate another £100m easily just by selling a few players. Will still end up with squad that is miles ahead of everyone else.

And still there were claims on here a few weeks ago that we were better off losing to Luton.

The disparity between the leagues is only growing year on year. We need to get up there ASAP really otherwise we’re just going to end up stuck in this division forever ala Preston, Bristol City, QPR etc.

Tbh that's why we have to make the most of it this season. I know some get very defensive over Sheffield Utd but they really aren't all that. They have some good loans but the owner clearly has no interest in investing much and wants rid.
Luton also appear to want to put all the money they gained into a new stadium rather than the team.
It won't be easy of course but it's a real opportunity that might not come by all that often.

A lot of signings going around today.

Sheffield United sign Rak-Sakyi on loan.
Bristol City sign Scott Twine.
Middlesbrough sign Tommy Conway.
Hull sign Charlie Hughes.
Blackburn sell Szmodicz.

 

[Evo1883]

Sheffield united got a good team now don't you think @Ccfcisparks

Yes and currency control's, limiting the amount for investment overseas or some other!

 

[alexccfc99]

Plenty of time to go yet but Derby leading the burra is a coupon buster

 

[Bugsy]

Sounds shite at the Hawthorns, nothing compared to last night at the CBS

 

[Evo1883]

Boro battering derby but can't score

 

[Evo1883]

If boro lose at derby , that's a poor result worse than us at stoke when you consider they are favourites with many to finish above us .

Shows early season can't spring a few surprises.

(They will probably equalise )

 

[HadjiChippo]

Just saw Kaminski sent off for double yellow for Luton, anyone know what he got his second yellow for?

Luton starting slow too

First for time wasting in the 29th minute which is shocking.

Second, two mins later, for leaving his box and hoofing two players basically.

His first was for allegedly time wasting . The second was for kicking two opponents up in the air after a rush of blood moment

I’d be furious, 2 bookings in 2 minutes from a keeper. Game ruiner if you’re a Luton fan

 

[Tommo1993]

Here it is

 

[ptr]

Other results going our way. Autos is well and truly back on!

 

[HadjiChippo]

Here it is

what a clown, especially having just been booked, didn’t even looked like it needed him to charge out as 2 Luton defenders covering

 

[Evo1883]

You'd have to say portsmouth have missed a chance with them being down to 10 men for an hour

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

1 goal in three 12:30 games, snoozefest

 

[HadjiChippo]

Luton starting slow too

You’d think they’d have a decent amount to spend with prem money and parachute payments etc., and they didn’t spend much last season either.

i know they’ve spent on the ground but on paper they don’t look like a side who’ll return at first time of asking.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Great set of results in the morning matches

 

[HadjiChippo]

Not a shot on target in second half either, shocking really. Can score 3 at Elland Road, but struggle at home to 10 man Luton.

It can be difficult to break down a team when they are a man down to be honest, happens a lot

The fucking brass neck on him trying to argue with the ref.

Saving all their pennies for a new ground, hopefully they drop again and can enjoy their new ground in league one (I don’t think they will though)

 

[Gint11]

Fancied Boro lose to a promoted team. Luton lose heavily and draw in opening two. We’re not as bad or doing as bad as we sometimes think.

Annoyed at Stoke but we’ve bounced back with 2 wins. Just tweaks needed.

It could have been a straight red for dangerous play.
