Perhaps the owners struggle to get transfers over the line..... That doesn't explain sending Elphick out on loan and playing Tuanzebe at right back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It’s getting real quiet on transfers for us when our main conversation is Jansson going to Brentford is the main talking point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Cahill is now 12-1 to join Palace and 14-1 to joint West Ham or Arsenal. If he doesn’t come to us surely he will join a London club. You could bet on all 3 and be up. I think his coming to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I’m a little apprehensive about Cahill’s mobility especially for the way I imagine Smith will be having us play. But he is a quality player and it’s an area we are very short in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its going complete against our transfer policy of buying players under 30? And he would want a massive contract. Can't see it myself.

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 If we can't get our top targets, and are unwilling to pay stupid money for unproven Championship players, Cahill is a VERY wise move. An experienced head to help us settle and with a certain pedigree. Gives us more time to search and evaluate long term targets. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Nobody said we'll never sign a player over 30 did they? We may not want to be doing it as a rule and rightly so. But in certain cases it might make sense, so shouldn't and I'm sure don't rule it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thats2 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I expect we’ve made an offer to Cahill, but: - on take-it-or-leave-it wages that are likely less than he wants; - with no guarantee of a spot in the starting eleven. If he can find a better offer, especially if it’s in London, I suspect he’ll take it. Clearly that hasn’t happened yet, and perhaps John Terry can influence him to take our offer over the others.

thabucks Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Reece Oxford as young DM/CB back up option .... ?! Rumoured to be available for £2-3million and fits Smiths developing of players . Lost his way somewhat but kid showed class when he first burst on the scene and maybe with a change of scenery he could prove an astute signing at that price.

MaVilla Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) for 19/20 transfer spend so far, we sit 6th i think. Still, sure the "spend" for most clubs will rocket in the coming weeks, so more "interesting" than remotely reflective currently. 1. Man City - 80m 2. Man Utd - 65m 3. Spurs - 64m 4. Wolves - 46m 5. Southampton - 49m 6. Villa - 48m 7. Chelsea - 40m For reference, Norwich & Sheffield Utd have spent less than £500k between them so far. Also interesting that the highest spending Championship side currently is Bristol City (15m), but they also sold Kelly for 15m, so zero sum really. Brentford have spent 10m, i can only expect that they expect sales, as they probably wouldnt splash 10m with no expected income.
