Rambalin Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not a problem Frank not being around as mentioned earlier in the thread there are many ways to talk to players now and not be in the same room. All the financial aspects of transfers are conducted by others apart from the manager.I think in one of the forums last year Rowett mentioned how the finance guy, forget his name right now,did nearly all the negotiations once the player was identified.

He just mreds to be in contact with the scouts & whoever deals with the financial side of things. Morris can be in and around the club to keep the day to day stuff ticking over, Lampard just needs to be ready for preseason. Doesnt the loan window stay up another week or 2 til the end of August? Im sure we will be looking to use that too so i'm sure Lampard, Morris & the club know what they're doing 2 hours ago, B4ev6is said: No shuts at same time as transfear window. Loan transfer window is end of August, so a couple of weeks after the permanent transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Whilst it is a gamble to try players who have never played in the championship or above there are a few examples of players that teams have gambled on and has been successful Britt Assambalonga, Andre Gray, Billy Sharp, Harry Maguire, Jordon Ibe , Danny Ings ,Jordon Rhodes are just a few players who have progressed from League1 and League 2 and have gone on to be classified as decent championship players or above so whilst it is a gamble it may be worth it in the long run, I thought Ollie Watkins was worth signing and we would not have lost any money on him if we had bought him, saying all that I would not pay 6.5m for Marriott as i think its too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what are the odds? For every harry maguire there may be 20 Gary teales. Or 100 Liam dickinsons. I just don't know. I have to be positive and assume that the people running this side of the club will be able to judge how big a gamble this would be. If frank does have very limited funds then he may not want to blow the lot on one player tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either take gambles on these type of players or continue to sign 30+ year olds who have "done it" at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t'oldu Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Am sure Lamps and Jody are working hard sorting out potential signings . The stumbling block is that they are new to the club and have yet to meet the existing squad . It is unfortunate that the window is so restricted this year when there is so much to sort during it. If Loan deals can be done until the end of the month that will help. But this may be only with Prem clubs?? whose window ends after ours. Can anyone clarify ??

From the football league site Main window shuts on the 9th August at 5pm. But EFL clubs will still be able to sign players on loan up to August 31, 2018. They will also be able to sign players on Loan with an option to agree a permanent transfer when the next window opens up to August 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we can also sell players up until Aug 31... to countries where transfer window shuts on Aug 31... i.e the rest of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If we're talking £2.5m release clause and fee that's not too bad a gamble given we could get him on lower wages than most of ours and save there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 He may well be a terrific purchase and do well for us but I can't help feeling that our 'scouting' seems to involve checking the lower leagues for this year's heroes and making a bid. Any of us could do that. There must be some jewels elsewhere in the world or are we still limited by a supersaver railcard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Right, got my head round this now (I think) Maddison, 24 year old CAM/LW can also play RW and LB Marriott, 23 year old striker who can also play RW And it's Maddison with the £2.5m release clause that us, Forest and Reading are after. Stupidly similar named players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
