Stated this previously and was vilified, but I think there is another perspective on the matter.Goody1975 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 12:10 amI doubt it means our budget is £13 million, it probably means it goes into the pot for the three players we want. I also expect us to loan at least one player so we may not need all the funds for permanent signings. Three is a minimum really, we definitely need a keeper, a central midfielder and striker but like many on here would prefer two midfielders to come in, especially now Brownhill has departed.
If we believe that Weiss can be a long term solution to our goalkeeping issue, then signing a 36 year old Dubravka until Weiss is ready could be ideal. I don't expect him to cost that much and he looks to be surplus to requirements in the North East now Ramsdale has signed.
For this window, I believe we have completed our transfer business. We have five centre forwards on the books, so it's possible that we can set up a system that takes advantage of some of their strengths. Along with a foreign loan that fits with the buy cheap sell for a profit model, I believe we will also give an experienced CM the option to buy. Carney and Barkley come to mind.
My concern would be moving players on as we still have a bloated squad which currently has been assembled for a loss of around 40m (fag packet maths).
I'm just expressing an opinion; I don't have any inside knowledge.
