We don't even get enough money to replace him. Looks like we'll be getting a couple of loans in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its £25m, thats more than every other club in the league has spent
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's more than we have spent as well but we have sold a lot of players this closed season and bought three, money is not being reinvested back into the talent in the club.
We certainly need to get busy very quickly.
I don't see this as a disaster but we clearly cannot keep taking out and not putting back in, I believe that takes us down to a squad of about 20 including Crew. A couple of injuries and we are fielding three goal keepers again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As always, it seems we're last out of the starting blocks with our incomings. In this case, though, it's obvious we couldn't buy big until we sold big so let's hope Farke has got someone lined up to replace Crysencio.
Players linked atm are;
Sara (Norwich)
Kent 🙄 (Fenebache)
James (Birmingham)
Whole new management team and we're still linked to kent? sara from Norwich would be double good. Strengthening us and weakening maybe our closest rival. Win, win.
Kent'll be retired and working in a paint store and we'll still be linked to him. Clickbait.

Always sad when your best player goes and it causes debate, if a player decides he wants to go then you have to get the best price you can and if it ends up at £34m i dont think thats bad.
General feeling around the club was that he turned it in last few games of the season and two senior members of the club who didnt play at Wembley were raging about his performance afterwards, also it was thought that when he didnt fancy it neither did his mate, if he had been denied a move how would that have affected the side,
Main thing is how the money gets invested if its invested well then all this will be a memory and from what i have seen so far i have faith in that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So are you saying, effectively, that Summerville and Gnonto downed tools at season end to ensure we stayed in the championship cos this was the best way for both of them to get a move ?

Why would they want a move if we were promoted, especially to west ham.

Kent is only 27 yet some how we have been linked to him for the last 50 or so seasons...
The more I think about it Summerville is massively overrated and will be found out in the PL as a one trick pony.
Just kidding but it felt good to say.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's Archie isn't it?
Have we not signed anyone yet? Come on Leeds clocks ticking
Reported Villa offering £40m! Deal not done with Wetspam yet!
Can't stick Villa but not going to argue with a bidding war with West Ham
Sorry I meant West Ham 🥴
Rak sakyi from Crystal Palace on loan.
Southampton thought to be in for 12m.
Seems like a lot for a guy with 6 appearances and valued at 2m.
Emile smith rowe to Fulham for what seems like the exact same deal as Summerville.
I hope if Gnonto is still wanting out he goes before next Saturday and the same with Wober because it just effs up the vibe in the dressing room if there's unsettled characters stinking the joint out when we need everyone
on the same page ready to hit the ground running.
If both decide to stay and are fully committed to the cause great but if not I hope their futures are settled in the coming days and we get to read about 2 or 3 quality new arrivals excited about the challenge that awaits
them and Summerville etc are not missed.

I remember Marathe saying we were going to do our business early this year. This doesn't feel early to me.
Anyone notice how little he was used in pre-season - minutes here and there. I guess they knew this would happen. Lets hope they have replacements already lined up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We won’t see any movement till the euros finish apparently….
But seriously, pre season nearly over, inbounds have been left very late again.
Too much Red Bull for Marathe? He can do contracts in his sleep apparently so maybe he has drunk that much Red Bull he hasnt slept all close season!!

It’s going to look very similar to last season if we’re losing best players late in the day, players going back out on loan again and 4 games in before we know our team.
Can’t afford another slow start abd good season last s Asim is no guarantee of what will happen this season.
Been saying this for weeks now - have to say, some on here have been giving the 49ers a free pass on this - if we feck up this August too, it’s all on the 49ers with ‘I do contracts in my sleep’ the chief architect. It is for me anyway.
nothing to do with contracts, players have to be available & willing to leave a club. we have to get the right players in not just anybody
There were always going to be consequences for blowing a great chance of promotion last season and we are seeing some of them now. I do have hopes that we'll recruit well though based on what we have managed to do last year and so far this pre season.
