The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

Yeah, weird. I always think of Kane as a late bloomer but that breakout season he was just 21/22.

Kane went on loan four times from 2011 to 2013. He was 18 at Orient, 19 at Millwall and Norwich and 20 at Leicester. As you say, he started to bloom when Poch was his manager in 2014. If you then look at Ibrahimovic's career, he didn't really start to take off until he joined Ajax and around 22 /23. Our specimen just turned 22 and will probably never bloom.

I know it's a bit 'old man shouts at cloud' of me, but seeing a kid who's achieved fuck all in a private jet pisses me off a bit (hope he does well)

We are talking about a league where the average weekly wage is nearly £15,000 higher than the average annual wage for FTEs in the UK.

It's pretty disgusting tbh.

 

[Squeak]

He is though

And that's just over 4M a year and there is no way they are paying that as a loan fee even.

 

[Del Woppio]

Is it his private jet then?

Presumably not, we'll have laid it on for him after he failed hard enough at Ajax to become attainable to us.

Nothing against the kid in particular, I just hate football

 

[Keef]

The private jet just gets him here earlier than flying in on easyJet or Ryanair we’ll have just hired one from Barry’sexecutivejethire.com from washwood heath or wherever he stores them

Really confused about what we're doing tactically now because Forbs sounds perfect for the way we've been preparing in pre season

 

[jd1981]

Yep the argument that it’s a short career doesn’t excuse the wages either. So when you’re 35-40 you’ve got to find a new career? We’ll welcome to the world of being an adult.

I think it's a central midfield and defence issue more than a forwards issue.

I don't think it's a player issue but a system issue. It's just shit and he's realised that now.

If they need a job after 15 years on those wages they have probably employed Baldrick as their financial adviser.

If he flew on Ryan Air, or Easy Jet, there is no chance we would be able to sign him.....

It was a thought on the rancid decadence and absurd money given to youngsters who have achieved nothing, not about fecking logistics

Yeah its bollocks, It's the equivalent of someone head hunting you and sending a limo to ensure you take your new, massively overpaid for your abilities job.

Off you fuck...

Let's do it all again next year

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Worst signing ever.

 

[Tony Towner]

...for oh so many reasons.

When Guedes scores 2 more goals and overtakes his 5, even Deutsch will have to agree

 

[AndyWolves]

Fun fact, Enzo Loiodice is at las palmas

 

[Lycan]

Look at his stupid face in that photo. I hate him.

 

[Johnny75]

I'm sure some will have the gif but the dive last season at Rangers, him laughing at Hwang and his general petulance show he is just an immature kid trying to be good at football.

I'm not sure what anybody saw in him as his ability was never there.

Will be loads of them
