Dr Gloom 21847 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Feels like a plan d or e option but perhaps we’re getting closer to having to make that type of signing - unless this loan changes the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4721 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 14 minutes ago, Kid Dynamite said: Max Cornet. 25years old. 50 goals in 250 games for Lyon. 9 goals in a relegated team last season. £17.5mil release clause. Plays as CF or LW. Id have him as back up to Wilson, or if we get a decent offer for ASM then replace him and chuck the leftover cash into the transfer budget Given our struggles we should be all over him or dwight mcniel. There does come a point where you are just signing too many burnley players though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17124 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 If McNeil is off to the scouse mackems does that mean their jumped up half decent Orc lookalike is leaving?

The Fish 10779 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I still want Sesko and given we've just taken out a big loan, I'd expect that to be made available for a transfer for or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Yeah what is the story with this 140m? Am I right in thinking we don't just have an extra 140m to spend, and it's been used to cover the business we've already done this summer, and any we still hope to do. That would mean we still have 80m, but then perhaps agents fees, wages etc still need to be accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't see us spending 200m this summer after spending close to 100m in January. Plus it's not like getting a 140m loan is like heading to your bank on a Friday to get an overdraft. We're only hearing about this loan now, but it's likely it was negotiated some time ago. The problem is that details on the loan appear to light, so I'm making a lot of assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The only justification to take it out though, is if it needs to be spent before it would have been earned anyway. So we're talking an intent to spend £140m this year, in some form. Could be what Polarboy says, depends on how much cash the business had available to it.

scoobos 298 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The squad we have is good enough for a top 10 finish , using the squad , not relying on just a first XI - I'm feeling pretty good about the business done and , more importantly, the lack of business we've done with piss takers. European qualification has to be a possibility too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1224 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Isn't the loan we've taken out just a refinancing of the overdraft from Barclays, who Mandy doesn't get on with these days, to HSBC who PCP use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
