"we need someone in" my arse Aye I can't see the need personally but apparently this is the craic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we've made an approach for Kiko Casilla Real Madrids number 2 keeper who they boughtvfor £5 million 2 years ago Also... Benitez has lodged loan offers for Leicester’s Islam Slimani and Liverpool’s Danny Ings.’ Reading between the lines Ashley's given Rafa a very small budget what do you think lads ? Not a surprise at all. Why would he spend a load of brass when he's hoping to off load. He fails to see the bugger picture that if he doesn't spend and the takeover falls through were in serious threat of relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I can see Rafa getting rid of Mitro,maybe raise £15m.Elliot for maybe £7-8m.If Fat Mike coughs up a further £20m,then that could be enough to bring in a number of half-decent players to keep us up.

strawb 5433 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Didn’t we buy Elliot for 200k? 7-8 million seems realistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 26385 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 even in today's inflated market, £15m for Mitro and £8m for Elliot is daylight robbery. Not even Man City would pay those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1839 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Aye they'd never get a game ahead of Aguero or Ederson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 £15m for Mitro is what we paid, isn't it? So he's probably decreased in terms of value since then, but PL prices inflation has gone up a lot. So not totally unrealistic! But by treating him as second fiddle to Joselu it's not really going to help our case. Rob Elliot's 32 this year and not even a guaranteed starter for us, so we'd be lucky to get more than a few million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It does baffle me that these things aren't done and dusted by the 1st but I'd say it is an indication it's a tight budget and Rafa probably has to sell to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 7485 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Troops, so far Huddersfield, Liverpool and West Brom have signed 1 player each. That's it for the entire league, calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Loans would do tbh. The fact we're 13th with this squad as it stands suggests that Rafa could probably keep us up by April if he got Ings or Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
