Anyone thinking we'll get permanent sales for all of these in one window is delusional. It'll be mainly loans as per usual, at least 10 of those 16 will be on the club's books come September.

Rewind to a year ago when O Keefe was talking about a huge clear out with players' contracts getting ripped up. Same shit different year.
Richie (30), royal (10), Rodon (10), hoj (2 match balls part ex). Rest on loan

GLC is a good player, better than Rodon but based on his wages, injuries and contract I don’t see anyone offering a fee and matching his currrnt wage on a long term deal
 
I appreciate it’s not Levy’s modus operandi but wouldn’t be adverse to signing an older attacker. Particularly thinking of Toney if available for £30-40m or this Guirassy if he’s available for a steal and it means we can utilise funds for elite level winger or 6. We don’t need a striker for the next 5-7 years, however great that sounds, but really one who can give us 2 decent years in the hope that one of Veliz, Parrott, Scarlett, Donley, Lankshear or even this Feeney makes the breakthrough. Or whichever teenage striking prodigy we sign in that period.
Guirassy looks like decent business at his release clause - £15m I think? Not just impressed by his scoring, but his movement looks good. Not going to scare the planet, but as you say, leaves funds available for elsewhere.

No chance they all go on permanent deals.

Emerson
Hojberg
Davies
Reggie
Tanganga
Richy
Gil

Can see us getting them sold. Everyone else will be a loan.
 
His contracts up. Also he’s shit at football and an ugly ginger scowling wanker

Well that's not very kind.

Exactly the wrong reason to sign a striker if we are serious about winning.

I like most of your posts mate but when you say things like that I think John Thomas is right about what Levy has done to lower the expectations of this fanbase.

We sold Kane. We should be expecting this club to sign a similar level or a player with the ability to become a similar level.

We should never accept this club signing a striker thats “Not going to scare the planet,” just because they are cheap.

People are going to call him a one season wonder since this is his first season with 20+ goals in one competition. But he's got a fair few double digit or just below ones in his career so I think that he could definitely fit in as a complementary striker for us.

And God knows that we need depth.

You literally said you wanted to sign someone on loan the other day 😆
