The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

It would also confirm we're sticking with the current system - Doughty as an orthodox left back would make Casemiro's exploits at centre half look solid.
 
GFFH is taking his revenge on the likes of Johnny and Quirk to far now and dragging us all in to his evil game...
 
Club were also hoping to have made progress with Semedo but nothing doing yet. Might explain the Ben Johnson links recently.
 
I've always quite liked Aina. His body language would upset a few though, can look quite "relaxed".
 
Ben Yedder and Chris Wood would do a job too, the latter shouldn't still be a pool we're fishing in, but hey.

He would have been perfect cover for RWB/LWB last summer, but we obviously decided that Doherty was a better option. Great work from the recruitment team.

He won't leave Forest now they're safe and he's a starter.

I was hoping to have made progress on a romantic trip to the Amalfi Coast for our wedding anniversary but nothing doing yet. Might explain why I've been looking at airbnb's in Seaton Carew though.

Should add GFFH that I do appreciate the updates, regardless of how they land with me!
 
This thread should come with a health warning. Anyone highly rated could go to be replaced by fringe players from elsewhere or also rans from relegated clubs.

The ghost of Morgan past.

It's more than that for Guedes. £27m on a five year deal in 2022. So just over £16m required to "break even".

A moot point as no-one will want him as he is shit.

agree the moot point bit.

but I was comparing to the amort charge (£5.5m pa) they'd have in next year's forecast. so if you sell him for £11.5m you make the same loss as the amort charge would have been but hopefully make a P&L gain on avoided wages and at least get him off the books. #dullaccountingtwaddle

Interesting reading this back from a year ago, all evidence suggests what this chap was saying is correct unfortunately.

Yep. Everything that has happened (or hasn't happened) since then is precisely in line with this scenario. Nothing else makes sense. Fosun investment changed the club for the better all things considered, IMO, but it's going to be grim now until they exit.

Barkley is the only footballer of any merit in the entire Luton squad, rest are just cloggers giddy on their big day out in the Prem. Although Chong does look to have a bit more about him these days than I remember him showing as a kid at United.

If our close-season business consists of getting those two in, I'd actually not be too unhappy. It'd certainly be a better outcome than the one I'm expecting.
 
If they can’t find a buyer for say £170m what’s to stop Fosun selling all our saleable players - Neto, RAN, Hwang, Cunha, Kilman, Gomes etc and replacing them with youth players, accept inevitable relegation and bank parachute money as we slide down the leagues line we did under the Bhattis? I’d guess the squad would make more than £170m profit over and above amortisation and other costs. If they are looking at it from a purely investment perspective this approach could bring more money in than a sale.
 
Elephant Pyjamas said:
Well you could always have that perspective.

Not likely though.

I asked a question, it’s not that I’ve got that perspective. It happens in other industries that buyers asset strip and run a business into the ground. If Fosun want to get as much return on their investment I was speculating as to whether a fire sale could facilitate that.
 
They can’t take money out the club because they turned the loans into equity. Unless there is further loans since. They can of course sell the club for £350m and say there is £200m in the bank so the price is technically only £150m. But not many people like to turn £200m worth of cash into £200m worth of assets. Certainly not one which won’t grow!

Yeah they could definitely do it, they'd make a few quid, just like the Bhattis did.

Their name/brand would be mud though - its not worth it.
