Brooks and Wilder

[KMC-1889]

Even if Brooks was a lippy obnoxious cunt. What he can do with a football at his feet is all that matters.
But the fact we’ve sold him to fucking Norwich!!! Is a hard one to bear.

This is the point innit. It’s Norwich for a shit fee. Most reasonable fans were expecting to lose him and Seriki this summer but the thought was he’d go to a parachute club or promoted club for a big fee.

Norwich will be in the hunt this year. We’ve got another relegation scrap on our hands.

 

[utd4ever]

There is definitely something wrong and points to a bleak future with this sale especially to a team in the same league as us.

I presume after the World Cup we will be waving goodbye to Peck and Hamer. With Reidewald also binned off we will be no better off financially and a poorer team.

Bleak times ahead

 

[TJ blade]

Or this could be this seasons sale of Calvert Lewin Che Adams to bring a few other cheaper players for an old fashioned push à la 2017.

If Wilder doesn't come good in this window, we might be in an old fashioned dog fight at the other end!

 

[harrry1990s]

Not a Wilder hater, or cult member, can see his pros and cons, but surely we aren’t selling players because they aren’t personally liked by Wilder. Or won’t go drinking. Or have Christian faith.

Be good to hear some explanation from someone some day as to what the club is aiming for.

How is it a shit fee? We don’t know the fee

 

[niktheblade]

1 year left, maybe he didnt want to sign a new contract so we cashed in?

I’m guessing the first point, is a financial decision since we don’t have any parachute payments anymore and we need to sell to buy.

Norwich side are reporting £8m rising to £9m if they get promoted.

It’s less than we paid for Tom Cannon.

Shit fee.

If that’s the case and Chong is on a long term deal which we’re unlikely to be able to terminate or move him on, then it makes sense to get a deal done for Brooks

Sounds decent to me

 

[LBA_Blade]

One £8m sale won’t balance the books especially if the fee is payable over his contract length.

I’d like know how much KP will cost in year one.

5 year deal so defo not balance the books but probably does pay the loan wages. We still need to offload a couple of others too

 

[Davalon]

I see the manager's spin doctor is on it

You realise that it is not just sales that are paid in installments, but purchases as well?

There’s a variety of clubs in this league. It would hurt but I would understand him going to West Ham or even Wolves…But him going to Norwich is a clear illustration of where we are as a club now.
I hope I’m wrong…But it ain’t looking good.

West Ham and Wolves don’t seem to be in a good position financially, lots of headlines about how relegation was bad for them.

From Brooks personal view I don’t see it as a great move.

From our view if we got what we wanted for him, then it’s the main thing.

Where we are as a club now is pretty poor, we don’t have a lot of space to move with financial fair play restrictions etc

Probably the biggest lowering of expectations for many years and one that our fans need

lol imagine then if we signed a couple of Israeli players. Some on here would really really piss the bed

I would be more worried for any kids in kop getting hit with shots

I'm pretty sure a couple on here check under the bed for Israelis every night

 

[Rodley]

We’ve got to move on from the Manager’s mate tweeting inside gossip on Twitter. We’re a Championship football club, not Bradway FC.

Agreed, if players are looking at Norwich as a step up then something's gone badly awry

Not sure how we ended up talking about Israelis.
Point was just that surely this is a football/business decision and not personal. As in, what a proper football team would do.

Can hand out but can’t take, no surprises

 

[LBA_Blade]

Yep….. no new purchases yet although probably affecting approx 13 contracts

10m+ is a shit fee?

You say that but wolves have signed trippier and jiminez so far..can't see their wages being cheap.

 

[SwissBlade]

I’m only going on what the so called experts have said about how they were both fucked financially

 

[Brownieblade]

Not sure how true but apparently trippier hasn’t signed yet

 

[Bladeloyal]

Come on all the clowns know the fee 10 bob and a bag of spanners .

 

[Bladedog]

Not sure how true but apparently trippier hasn’t signed yet

Heard he signed a pre contract but wasn't happy with Edwards leaving..so fuck knows.
