I guess that would surprise no one. What did he cost us?

£4.5M or thereabouts IIRC

Fits our profile.

How about this day!

 

Bam Bam...two class guys in the door.

 

Aribo...10M...thank you!

 

Lovin it. 

 

Give me a dozen Ross Wilson's and I'll rule the world.

 

Now for a tasty RW...

Roofe to be sold? Being touted about for £3M apparently. Like him as a player but injury prone. 

No offense to Roofe, when healthy he is very good...WHEN he is healthy.

Having stated that...would you buy that guy?

I wouldn't.

I think we may have to let his contract run out...same as Helander...really good CB but that injury bug...

Absolutely no way anyone would pay £3m for him. He’s too injury prone & almost 30

I'm still not clear what the Aribo deal is. It sounds like £6m paid in 3 annual tranches, with adding that take it up towards £10m in total. If that's the case, it will have only a small impact on next season's cash flow. Or have I got that wrong?

I’m guessing that some of the instalments may be based on appearances and perhaps  some other performance measures like cup wins, European qualification or appearances… but overall that’s roughly what my take has been based the various reports around.

Any evidence of this being true?

No, both clubs are not going to have the same player. However, there is plenty to back up what I said. It might be unpalatable but to think otherwise is to live a lie.

 

Look through the fees both clubs have taken in for players in the last few years.

 

Look through the player trading figures in the balance sheets.

 

 

Listen to our own club repeatedly talking about the need to develop the player trading model when over the city it has been up and running for years. Their 'brand' as a selling club is established, they ask for and get relatively premium prices. We aren't there yet.

 

We have brought players to the club and increased their value.

We have tended to keep them, rather than sell them at an optimal time from a financial POV.

Here there is a debate to be had regards what can be earned on the pitch through the players efforts compared to outgoing transfers.

 

The emphasis with how the club have continually talked about the player trading model shows IMO its importance and the new UEFA financial rules will make that all the more important.

 

But we need to act on it and not only talk about it. Bassey's value is high at the moment and if possible, we need to cash in.

 

The profile of players joining the club is important. What we have seen so far this summer, is a clutch of talented youngsters for the B team, an injury prone 25 year old and two 28 year olds. 

 

Look at the age profile of the players joining our rivals,...24, 24, 21, 23, 30 (backup keeper).

 

 

Over the years we have often brought in experience and it sometimes works for us on the pitch.

However, our business model hasn't worked and we typically rack up an important financial loss. It has been the same for as long as I can remember, since balance sheets were talked about as much as the football.

 

That needs to change.

Imo the fact we make losses every year in our accounts will encourage buying clubs to ‘lowball’ us in terms of offers. They don’t have the same financial restrictions as us. We are perhaps perceived as weak financially.
 

the fact we seem to have accepted far lower than expected for Aribo up front will perhaps only encourage more ‘lowball’ offers. Time will tell. The club do have a plan with transfer strategy it’s just hard to believe in it from the outside.
