Hope so. Looks like an interesting player

It's the sort of profile no one can complain about us going for

By that i assume you mean..

Forrenerrrr! ️
But... Never played outside of England ️

Best of both worlds for our divided fanbase lol

I'd be surprised if Leicester were able to get him in their current financial situation, he won't be cheap as he only signed for Plymouth last summer I think.

 

[Slug]

Signed as a youngster by Brighton. They don't get many wrong.

He has stepped up from National League to League Two to League One in the last 3 seasons and carried on scoring goals at ease.

Big lad too who looks to have a good touch and can also run the channels.

El Accounto reckons we’ve got no money to spend. Don’t know how he would know that?

He’s probably right though

Surely he wouldn't know anything concrete as he's not connected to the club at the moment, it's probably just his opinion based on his own knowledge of football finances.

But the new financial rules are being implemented next season.

The ones where you can spend up to 85% of your revenue on player wages, agent fees and transfers etc, so he might have a point because our revenue will be less next season without the parachute payments.

Selling Hamer and Peck (the most likely scenario) could change what our budget is but we won't know until it happens.

I doubt we have much tbh. Parachute payments gone. Let's see but last summer we spent 20 million, with a few big sales and a big chunk from the premier league. Now the owners have to fund it.

I like him (and actually think he'd make an excellent number 10 in the championship with his creative ability). But the gap between League One and Championship is pretty huge. A player scoring 13 non penalty goals in league one probably isn't getting more than 6 or 7 in the championship. Wouldn't be cheap, either.

Is there a reason nobody's suggesting Vipotnik?

I can think of about £20 million reasons

A bit of risk vs reward I suppose, if we don't sign him we won't know if he can step up or not (unless someone else signs him) but at the same time we could sign him and he might not step up to the level.

Same thing with Bindon and L Barry last summer, one stepped up to the level and the other didn't.

One of the last times they had a striker that prolific was Mcburnie, who went up a level for big money.

The other one was Joel Piroe, who went to recently relegated Leeds for big money.

Come September, he'll either be abroad or in the prem.

Youngish strikers with goal contributions like that don't stay in the championship for very long.

How much do we reckon Tolaj would cost?

That's true. If he was a 25 goal guy, I'd say worth the risk. But 13 non penalty goals is less than a 38 year old Didsy, Jack Marriott and Ashley Fletcher - and he'd cost us in the millions. I'd much rather go the Norwich route and gamble on cheaper signings from abroad than gamble on League One.

 

[MayorOJC]

Not sure, but not in the same league as Vipotnik.

Out of our league, then.

Probably by reading the last set of accounts, where we only made a profit by trading players. We’ve spent our load last summer and it’ll be frees and loans this summer.

Interesting prospect but I’ll be surprised if it happens, mainly because it’s Nixon reporting it.

Darren reckons we’re in a big financial hole whatever that means

And so it begins……



Jokin, just getting my arm/aim in full swing.

He only signed a 2 year deal at Plymouth so will be going into the last 12 months this summer.

Plymouth won't be able to demand too much in that situation, as we saw with Cooper last year.

I expect us to try and somehow flog one of Cannon or Campbell and use that money to fund Tolaj.

Shit....just when I thought my Darren Smith is a Cunt campaign had been retired for good

That's not what the post you linked says in the slightest, but carry on

Push cannon to Preston if they want a striker

Daft cunt knows fuck all. Budget will be 26-30m before player sales with new SCR rules. No idea how real this rumour is, do know that El Cunt is an insidious little worm who has been caught out lying multiple times. Best ignored

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

He looks like an interesting prospect but before anyone gets too carried away , it should be noted that he managed just 2 more goals than 38 year old David McGoldrick and just 1 more than a decent striker from yesteryear in Jack Marriot , whose conversion rate was almost twice as good .

 

[S64 Blade]

Have we ever had anyone Swiss play for us before?
