Not coming....not itk, just know other clubs have money in the back of the couch and will spend it. Sheffield United doesn't own a couch!!

If tge fee is 4 m and they owe us 4 m do couches even come into the equation

 

[LiamBG]

Absolute no brainer. Or just sign both and change shape.

 

[HeySethUTB]

This transfer fee would almost be neutral given the amortisation left. It’s then really not beyond possibility that we sign Souttar, if Leicester stop being dicks.

 

[FTPE]

If he wants to move back to England.
If we do want TWO centerbacks.
If he's available for £5m.
And if we technically get a few million pound discount because of what we're still owed..

It'll a a right balls up if we dont get him now!!

You can’t keep a good man down.

Until the next flounce at least.

 

[mattbianco1]

The only advantage we have is that we are probably still owed money off the original sale

Spoken like a true Coventry fan

Reckon we need to to go on the Feyenoord forums and tell their fans they still owe us 3million?

 

[Houso]

I love the argument that they owe us 4m and therefore we can waive that, like it's free money. We've accounted for it. They can pay it if they sell him to someone else. It's barely relevant.

Must say, I've thought the same thing but curious if there's some footballing accountancy trick I'm missing within it all?

Not only have we accounted for it but if we carried on what we used to do we have discounted it to Macquarie bank and already spent it on wages for the lads on the treatment table last year

You can’t put a price on Tom Davies.

If!!!

 

[Working Class Hero]

This feels like a non-starter to me, he wanted to leave to better his career and presumably took a big pay rise to do so.

Why would he come back when we're a worse career move than when he was here before, and can't offer him the same money he was on before?

If there's any possibility we could though, then we absolutely should. Souttar, Tanganga and Anel would be a ridiculous set of centre halves for this league, and would even work as a back 3 with the ready made wingbacks we also have, if we wanted to have that set up as an option.

 

[Donnyblade]

We aren't signing anyone, we haven't got any money. We still need to sell players.

At the very least you must work right inside the club to know this.

 

[GymClassHero]

If we don't get this done I will be beyond pissed the fuck off!

This deal ticks every box, his wages won't be particularly high - the Dutch League isn't particularly wealthy. Even Ajax barely have a revenue comparable to a middling to lower PL side.

We should be looking to wrap this up and then deal with Souttar. We all know Leicester will drag their heels until the window shuts. Signing Anel would strengthen our position; Leicester know we are desperate for a CB. We sign Anel and suddenly Souttar becomes more of a luxury than necessity.

It's what's known in slasher circles as a 'Flounce'

No insider information required.

 

[Newbury Blade]

Not questioning you, just want to know how you know?

I don’t, but I can’t see why we would spend money we don’t have on signing both when we don’t need to and are desperate for some attacking creativity.

 

[Newbury Blade]

He doesn't

Very good. I don’t. It was more of an opinion, what with this being a discussion forum.

 

[SUFC Guy]

FWIW, I think there is enough smoke out there that we will sign him - well that's what I'm hoping for anyway.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Absolute no brainer. Or just sign both and change shape.

This for me. Go with 3 CBs with Phillips in front of them. Seriki and McCallum or Burrows as wing backs. We could actually do with another winger and a creative midfielder, but we're not made of money are we?

Signal fires or Ganja?

Smoke monster from LOST told me

 

[Matlock Blade]

He is coming back. I'm not ITK, but I've heard his Depeche Mode song on the car radio twice today... it must be a sign.

That’s as good as confirmed it.

 

[SwissBlade]

Didn't Wit quote someone as being our saviour during preseason camp, when a couple of blokes were seen with the owners in Valencia.

Possibly. Seen a few other bits and some pics of other fellas as well.

I don’t know details and the stuff with COH / 1919 could also be interesting… but they’ll need to get moving with the payments and court action this week.
