Only chance we have now, unless he's off to Spain in the summer, is a desperate Prem club like Everton or West Ham hitting the panic button and giving us £5+ and tempting him into the prem with silly money. We invested so much money and time into him, the aim was always to make a profit on what we paid for him, surely? And yet we just let him walk for nothing but still complain about the restrictions FFP put on us 🤷🏻♂️ Whatever you do, if you receive a free ticket from the club, inviting you to a party at the brewery, shred it and pop it in the bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheRevAshton Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Looks like a bid has been submitted for Ryan Porteous. Doesn't seem like we need him just yet, as others have said - but he's no doubt being brought in to replace Ayala, and coming in early should have him ripe and ready for next season. This will be a big saving on wages, a quality bit of business considering he'll cost us ~£500k. Replacing a player before he's gone, love to see it! Now we just need to try and do the same with Diaz... Edited January 17, 2023 by TheRevAshton 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a similar cheeky move for Teemu Pukki who is also out of contract? 32 now but could still do a job for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone younger and faster with resale potential - problem is, attackers of that ilk cost a good few quid to begin with - like Brereton. Let's hope this rumoured 'war chest for marquee signings' is actually a real thing. If not, I guess we'll have to pray that Harry Leonard can hit the ground running.

I think the war chest is a myth unfortunately. Need some experience in the side imo. Pukki would be ideal for a year or two, especially in the championship which is unfortunately where I think we will be for another year at least. Don't think he'd be on mega money at Norwich and a new manager there might want to change things about a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Carter will make the step up, so getting him and Ayala off the books leaves us a bit short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheRevAshton Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2023 I like Carter, think he's done alright when he's played - we'd kick ourselves down the line if we released him or let him go on the cheap, I feel sure of that. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theaxe15 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Hyam and Porteous with Carter Wharton and Phillips as back up? Pretty solid collection of CBs Now time to work on every other position… Edited January 17, 2023 by Theaxe15 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polky Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Porteous would be a great signing. I just hope Watford don’t gazump us with their parachute money and then send him off to Udinese!

roverblue Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Like the sound of Porteous, hope it gets over the line before we get out bid by someone else. Good to see some forward thinking in replacing Ayala and at a good price. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
