Stoke are owned by the Coates family, the owners of bookmakers Bet365. They're said to be the 17th richest family in the UK, worth
£8.637 billion. How can anyone compete with that?

Found this write up on Alvyn on a list of Switzerland's best young midfielders:


The third player with a gold rating is also perhaps the most spectacular on this list: Lausanne jewel Alvyn Sanches. After Cameron Puertas, Bryan Okoh, Dan Ndoye and Andi Zeqiri, he is likely to be the next product of the successful Vaud youth program to reach international level.

The Swiss U21 international (3 goals in 7 appearances) is an offensive box-to-box player. Light-footed, agile and with a lot of flair, he dribbles around the opposing press, tears gaps and creates moments of surprise.

Thanks to his nimble feet and a remarkable start, Sanches literally glides through the opposing midfield, developing a lot of drive and dynamism with the ball at his feet. In the last two years he has become a key player at Lausanne, played a key role in the promotion and contributed 18 points.

There is no question: Sanches is one of the most exciting youngsters in the country. And he could soon showcase his talent in a bigger league.

This is precisely the sort of signing that we have made and should continue to pursue. Young, virtually unknown with lots of potential. Better than casting the net in the overpriced Championship. The only thing I’d get from the Championship are out of contract merchants where you only have wages to consider.

I can see the elements of Brighton model with signings from smaller leagues which no one has heard of, based on stats and watching them and allowing the manager to have a say on whether they want them or not

He'd be an investment, bring him in now, and sell him in a couple of years for big bucks. Just like we could do this pre season with Sheaf.

This name makes more sense than Windass, and to say we cant afford this signing unless others sell i think is not true.

This type of deal is an investment that follows the model we look like we are following. I also see Leonard turned down Preston, hope we can make that deal as he is another that can be developed.

My Leeds supporting mate has said they are apparently looking at MVE to solve their right back issue. They did show an interest before he signed for us.

Hopefully nothing in it.

They owe £190m in transfer this summer and have £2m coming in. They don’t have a pot to piss in. I’d have been worried had they got promoted.

MVE is a players we shouldn’t even entertain selling for a penny below £20m all in. He’s got a lot of attributes to suit PL football from Day 1.

Leeds have just had a massive investment from Red Bull and they generated £43m in January towards the £190m (£73m is due this summer).

They still have to off load first because of profit and sustainability rules, despite the Red Bull investment.

What do they receive in parachute payments?

You do realize I'm just repeating what their owner has said don't you?

Parachute payments cover all sorts of costs. It's not all free transfer spending money.

I appreciate that, but for a myriad of reasons they will still be one of the major players on the transfer front in the Championship. They could make serious money from selling any of Summerville, Rutter, Meslier or Gray, plus countless others, so there might be a lot of wheeling and dealing ahead, but hopefully not enough for them to be able to splash out on MVE. I've thought for a while though that they could be a logical move for O'Hare.

You are right, they have players they can sell to pay off outstanding transfer fees and rebalance the books. O'Hare would make sense, free and just wages. But I think they would struggle to compete for MVE .

They are going to have to wheel and deal, but I don't see them as big hitters with transfer fees. Timescales could work against them as the balance sheet will dictate.

The club may wait for a Gyokeres sale in order to start spending dough on several players, but the club does have money available. A quick look up of the clubs accounts show this, the owner and shareholders goal is promotion but with financial discipline.

It's not just Gyokeres, players like Wright, Simms, Milan, Sheaf and even Sakamoto are all players that have done really well at this club, if we received a £13 million pound bid for say Milan or £15 million for Simms the club wouldn't think twice in selling them on, the board are building a club that is financially strong and a squad that is good enough to compete and has the depth. You sell one you bring in 2 or 3 it's as simple as that.

As we seen with Hamer, £15 million quid was spent on him and look where Shef United are now, no player is worth keeping when there is serious money being offered, our club has a knack of consistently bringing in a player for cheap and selling for 10 times the amount.

We will no doubt be promoted in the next 1-3 years, but in that time frame there will be some fan favourites that are sold for ridiculous sums of money to newly promoted or lower level Premier League sides and we simply won't miss them.

there are 4 keys to a great transfer rumour:

1) no one’s ever heard of them
2) vaguely exotic name
3) not a free transfer (boring)
4) international caps/youth caps

Edit: can’t believe I forgot “YouTube highlight video that makes them look unreal”

And after all that we were never interested in them in the first place 😂

Has anyone else heard that Binks will become a permanent signing? heard we have basically got him just agreeing a fee which will be easier now Bologna got Champions League qualifying money.
