Derbados Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Concerning last night that Pearson mentioned that "numerous lines of enquiry hadn't come about" when asked about transfers. Is FFP biting us in the arse hard? are we not meeting transfer demands of players placed by club simply because we cant? According to The Sun (garbage probably i know) we had three bids for Ross Mccormack turned down before he went to Villa. How many other players have we potentially lost out on? The signs are obvious that we need a few in and a few out yet hardly any have moved on and the only in is a loanee. I sensed a lot of frustration from Pearson last night,not just at the performance but in general, i have a feeling he has wanted to do more business than he has but it hasn't transpired, possibly due to finances. It may also explain why some players are not playing for him, they may well know he has tried to bring some in to move some on but because it hasn't come about they now think "f**k it, im not in your plans for the long term anyway so why bother?"

TimRam Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Probably hit the nail on the head with that last statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If we are that desperate for funds, then surely we should/could have accepted the Hendrick bids and the Wolves offer for Martin? Would have got close to 15 million from those sales, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think we are possibly offering clubs payments in instalments - over 3 or 4 years etc to try and get around FFP. But clubs like Villa and Newcastle are willing to pay most of it if not all up front. We're probably a lot closer to breaching FFP than a lot of people think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambalin Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 From what I am told financing transfers is not a issue either cash up front or installments nor is there any concern in relation too ffp.However there is the same issue that a lot of clubs have with trying to buy with the exception of Newcastle and Villa who have money to burn in that selling clubs are demanding unrealistic prices. The two afore mentioned clubs plus the new premier deal have distorted the market and we are as guilty of that in trying to move players out as everyone else. Teams are quite happy to hold on to players till the last possible moment to get top dollar and with the money around in the top divisions from TV and owners they are not under any pressure to sell.

LesterRam Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Are we struggling to get players through the door? Fat players are not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Have we been very naive in the transfer market this summer if we've been targeting players which both Villa and Newcastle have also shown an interest in? Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think we are unwilling to pay over the top and unfortunately the market has moved that way. I think that's the problem, getting vfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
