Realistic transfer expectations

[Richardsbfc]

Tavernier and Kent played well for Rangers this year
Southampton and Brighton linked with Tavernier and Liverpool seem to be happy to put ridiculously inflated prices on their youngsters
Kent and Harry Wilson will be in high demand this summer

Not sure why, but Tavernier has just never floated my boat. Reminds me a of a poor Tyrone Mears. His free-kick ability is massive overrated too.

Both Kent and Wilson are great players with a great future if they can sort their consistency out. Like the look of both of them though.

I’ve mentioned on another thread if we could get a season out of Jon Obi-Mikel he would be perfect in our midfield.
Re: earlier comments on Vydra. He has looked sharp his last few, brief, appearances and should have had a pen t’other night. I think he’ll probably leave for more game time but it has been a waste.

he has been dreadful for Middlesbrough

I would be happy to get Leroy Fer in on a contract

That's simply not true at all, according to the Boro fan I know. He's regularly stated how obvious it was Mikel was too good for the championship

How did you arrive at the conclusion he's been dreadful?

the Boro fans that I know ! I can also add the odd game I've seen him play for Boro. On 60K a week too if you believe the press (!!??)

Either way, I'll leave it up to Dyche and Rigg

Some decent prospects In the French league.

Teji Savanier - creative midfielder
From Nimes France. Loads of assists and hard worker too. Creates lots of chances.

Kenny Lala - right back
From Strasbourg France. Pacy, lots of assists and good crosser which would compliment our play.

Rony lopes - wide attacker or forward
From Monaco France
Really exciting prospect who's lost his way at monaco.

Newspaper links have named players such as Bogle, Bowen, Lolly, Adams and Murphy but can we really expect to get "known" young players such as these. If available, there will, no doubt, be other Prem clubs interested and that would likely suggest we would be blown out of the water in terms of transfer fees and wages.

Dan James (21) likely on his way to United for £15 million.

Ok he's been very much on the radar but goes to show how much of a challenge getting in the quality youth signings many on here are crowing for will be, even from the Championship.

Yaya Toure has announced his retirement from the game today.
Can we finally rule that one out?

Leeds could have had him for 6 plus add ons in January, 15m will be the top end total figure.

Leeds arrangement was a £1.5m January loan fee with a clause to sign if promoted for another £7m.

Wonder what he'll be on a United.

After signing Championship top scorers Andre Gray then Chris Wood then Matej Vydra it must be Teemu Pukka from Norwich

It has to be a central midfielder. Athletic defensive type badly needed, similar profile to Gueye at Everton. Or alternatively a powerful box to box type like Doucoure at Watford.

Cork simply isn’t up to task after this season, and right now he’s the only player suited to his role we have. Needs changing.

Dyche has laid down the gauntlet for the board to "stretch the finances"
