Player Suggestion Souttar played and scored last night

[Blademan89]

So we dont need to sell to sign him but if we do sign him we need to sell this summer before seasons starts or sell in january.

People will fall for anything you n X.

We were losing around £15m a year before player transfers last accounts. I’m assuming the rush to sell Brooks was to balance the books for last financial year but it would suggest we’ll need some more big sales before we can even start thinking about big fees.

If we do sign Souttar (and I’m not convinced we will) it’ll be towards the end of the window and we’ll have had to sell some big earners like Hamer, O’Hare, Campbell of Cannon. I haven’t seen any interest for these players yet.

Loan to buy would suit all parties involved and makes sense.

Depends on his salary and our budget. I’m sure I’ve read previously he’s on a massive contract for an EFL team (and Leicester reportedly didn’t have relegation clauses in their contracts).

Just a loan would be better and save the cash to look for a better/younger prospect without the injured body, we have to start finding long term injury free players

 

[Melbourne Blade]

... he would be a hell of an upgrade on an ageing Luke Ayling.

Paves the way to bring Ayling in and have a proper Leeds old boys reunion!

With the style we play, our players don’t need to run.

Nailed it.
We are the "walking , endless passing team" in a league of less skilful runners.

Could you explain your maths work please.

There's no requirement to show your workings in a parallel universe.
Especially when the answer is minus 273c

No interest in Cannon ?

On the contrary , many are interested to discover :
Whether he was ever scouted by a sentient being from the Lane;
any evidence that he is a footballer;
Any belief that he would ever be worth more than the £fee we paid

He won’t be getting that contract or near it, doubt even Wrexham offer near it

If he wants to play higher than 3rd tier he likely will need to take a wage cut

So not a fan then

Harry and not John should be our #1 priority signing.

It could not be any clearer and whatever budget constraints we have in place should, bluntly, be ignored in this instance.

Stoke and / or Wrexham should not be clubs we can not blow out of the water.

Just shouldn’t !!

Anyone paying more than a couple of million for him is insane. What are Leicester going to do? Keep a very expensive, unhappy, soon to be 28 year old player who can earn them an upfront paid fee in L1? A player with recent, severe injuries, who hasn't played more than 21 league games in a season since Covid? One who plays for an international team that means you'll lose him for an additional couple of games season through travel tiredness?

I'm not sure signing him at all is a great move . He played very well but United's defensive numbers had an element of luck that 21 matches too and he doesn't solve the fact neither of our CBs can pass the ball. But for a big fee? Madness.

If Stoke beat us to him, then the board have no ambition to get promoted. Probably likely too given Stoke seem to have a bit of dosh.

Stoke have very wealthy owners who are showing big ambition,they have already spent a bit in this window.

This makes complete sense if the limitation is not available money, but headroom under the new financial fair play rules. We might have the cash to sign him now, but that would mean recouping money elsewhere within this financial year (ie by June 2027) to keep under the limits.

I’ll have a go

Zero = I’m so pissed off and angry about , well , about .. Utd

Chance = manifestation of the above

Pure Latin

Could be then next seasons Coventry

I have absolute zero interest in this...

Same account also reports we are interested in Jebbo

 

[HeySethUTB]

It’s the Jebbo bit that I can’t believe

I don’t believe it.

I think it will take far longer to resolve.

Plus he’s already been permanent at Stoke. Not sure he’ll be that bothered to head back there.

Also bet they want more than 2m.
