It says on Wiki that Gnonto is 4ft 11. Surely that can't be true.

Maybe we are still open to investment from my side of the world Asia as Mr Pace knows a investor who was thinking of investing before we got relegated and maybe that speeded up the sacking of Mr Dyche, but could be all gossip just have to wait and see .Chester Perry wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 11:50 amThere is always risk involved, whether you spend everything, half or nothing as we saw under Garlick. The risks are different and are taken for differing reasons and circumstances.
Your no risk view is based on the idea of being able to sell on in case of relegation and then essentially do a rinse and repeat of last season - but repeating is the extremely hard bit and you have to ask who would be here to do that?
Equally there is the chance that the season goes well but we do not have the funds to build on the momentum in the following season - the key will be how much we can grow revenues and the cash balance, the club appear to be working hard on the former - one way of doing the latter is to bring on board more co-owners and repay the debt,
I offer no opinion on either, it is the choice of the incumbents and we know that they are resourceful
Risks essentially are taken in line with personalities of the board - the current board is currently aggressive/confident in its abilities and the capabilities of the club under their watch so that informs their approach. The previous board started out aggressive under Kilby but had its fingers badly burned so became more cautious and sought to build a funding base to cover all costs taken on if the unexpected happened (which they did very successfully). It will be interesting to see how the current board develops in its approach over time.

I doubt Tella is coming back but we do seem to retain a desire to take Maatsen on loan judging by the mention of West Ham 'competing' with us for him.

You could say that about Vardy, Kante, and Mahrez on cheap fees. Sometimes scouts just get it rightKlyBfc wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 1:19 pmGnonto would be a no from me.
There’s a reason Leeds got him so cheap despite him appearing for the Italian national team, there’s also a reason despite there struggles last year why he spent plenty of time starting as a sub for more than one of their managers. His output of goals and assists from March is very poor. You then throw in him not wanting to play last night. Attitude must be questionable. He’s very raw and direct but not sure he’s what we need around our squad.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I don't believe we'd repeat last season if we went down, personally think if we went back down we'd lose VK and we'd struggle for years but financially I think we'd be sound by selling the players on.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 11:50 amThere is always risk involved, whether you spend everything, half or nothing as we saw under Garlick.

My point was based purely on finances.
Our future incomings next summer onward will be dictated by money brought in from this and the last windows players bought being sold on

VK saying that Ramsey is close is effectively saying it’s done. That’s because it is.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
If I had to think of English footballers least likely to go play in a foreign country Kane would figure right near the top of it.
I would be more surprised if he didn't sign a new deal at Spurs and see out his career there.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
I’m not sure why he’d go to Bayern to be honest. Yes he’d probably pick up silverware but winning the German league with Bayern is no great achievement, think they’ve won over 50% of German league titles.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Reported the fee has been agreed and apparently Kane had a verbal agreement on personal terms but being reported he has had a change of heart and wishes to stay at Tottenham.

Not a chance Bayern would have spent 2 months negotiating a fee if Kane had no intention of going there.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Kane will want the PL all time goals scorer record. I can see him staying this season and seeing what his options are next Summer. He’d be a fool to sign a new contract now with that clown Levy still running the show.
Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
But he’ll live off his own personal scoring record in the Premier League.

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Surely the Kane stuff is one of 2 things
1) Maneuvering the deal so that another team (Utd likely) are aware what they need to pay
or
2) Confirmation of a valuation of him as a player that his agents can work into a deal next year - eg, Bayern were going to pay £100m and £300k over 5 years - next year you don't have to pay £100m, but can add an extra £70m in wages to the £300k for the next 5 years

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Vardy and Kante weren’t internationals at the time though. Gnonto was l, and my main point remains despite Leeds struggle’s consecutive managers stuck him on the bench for a reason, and his output and performances from March onwards were inconsistent verging on poor.davideyresleftear wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2023 1:53 pmYou could say that about Vardy, Kante, and Mahrez on cheap fees. Sometimes scouts just get it right
I’m just not sure he’s all that. I could see why a team would have as an impact player (direct raw etc) when a game is stretched but he likely thinks he’s more important than that.

Kane wants that transfer fee for himself, ideally off Real Madrid next summer.

Anyone else just get a notification from the Official Twitter account saying "2023 Squad List Official Announcement", which was then immediately deleted?
Would suggest we already have our set squad list sorted? Or do we think this can be adjusted again after tomorrow's game?

Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Someone has asked Nixon on Twitter if there are any left backs linked with Burnley and the only answer was Maatsen. Might have all of our eggs in one basket on this one.
Re: Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.
Or Nixon doesn’t know. Berge said in his interview that he knew of Burnley’s interest for a while, but then we only knew about it when the deal was probably already done. Suspect there may be more players than we know about that we’re looking at.
