Jeremy Sarmiento signed a 4 year , $4,160,000 contract with the Brighton & Hove Albion, including an average annual salary of $1,040,000. In 2024, Sarmiento will earn a base salary of $1,040,000, while carrying a cap hit of $1,040,000.

That's 20K a week for a lad who has yet to deliver

We’re paying far more to worse players than him

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

The Robinson/Riis swap deal with Preston was reported on social media yesterday. I'd be happy to move Robinson on, but don't know how reliable the report was. It was from one of the City ITK's

Does anybody know much about Riis. I remember him coming on as a sub against us a couple of seasons ago. He looked a raw handful, but hasn't set the world on fire or nailed down a 1st choice spot in a pretty average team.

missed a lot of last season with a bad injury apparently.
I think they would be wanting money + Robinson

I think a combo of Bulut not wanting him (after stuff last season) and Robinson not wanting to be here means there's likely some truth in it. Can't see Robinson staying. But jeez, we need a striker soon.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Sheffield United have signed Kieffer Moore and about to sign Calum O'Hare.

(Sheffield Wednesday have already signed 9 new players: Nathaniel Chalobah, Charlie McNeill, James Beadle, Olaf Kobacki, Svante Ingelsson, Jamal Lowe, Yan Valery, Ben Hamer and Max Lowe.)

Giving a player who is 32 in three weeks time (Moore) a three year contract appears something of a strange one (although probably done as much to get him to sign as anything else) especially if they have genuine aspirations to go straight back up. Cant see Moore cutting it in the Prem at 33 years of age.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

One of the blokes on the Second Tier podcast rates Chambers as the second best Championship signing of the summer - the smug one rubbished it of course, but he did rate Willock a very good signing.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

We're in talks with Brighton about a loan deal for Jeremy Sarmiento of Brighton according to Twitter - he scored West Brom's winner down here last season during what was a pretty underwhelming loan spell with the Baggies, he then went to Ipswich on loan from January, not too sure how well or badly he did there

40 games for the pair. Started 12, taken off 11 times. Substituted on 28 times. Both WBA & Ipswich predominantly brought him on with 20-30 minutes to go. In the games I saw him play for Ipswich, very much an impact player. Quick, direct, likes to cut inside. An upgrade on Josh Bowler but from the left, where he’s no better than O’Dowda

If you use the same website, Sio, Robinson, Turnbull, Ralls and Ramsey. Some poor players are on very decent money, too

Yes, appears to have missed the whole of the calendar year 2023. An OK record either side of that and a very good 2021-22. He looks a 9 more suited to Bulut's system than Robinson. I wonder what Riis's value is?

Actually, I'm not sure where Robinson fit's into a Bulut system. I know some will say as a 10, but as the two other midfielders sat so deep last season it just doesn't work. I don't see Robinson coming deep to get the ball and working back defensively. He only suits a more attacking system.

Clinton Morrison is also a big fan. That has to count for something!

If it was Clinton Baptiste I'd be impressed.

interesting thoughts from Abbandonato

I do think if Robinson has really knuckled down with@CardiffCityFC (and I’m told he has), Odowda is over his issues & Ramsey is fit (didn’t go on hols this summer cos he wants to get body ready for Championship rigours), it’s like THREE EXTRA pedigree summer signings right there

I’d be shocked if the self styled Number One football writer in Wales had got that wrong??
After all he has his fingers right on the pulse and knows everything about the club inside out🤔

Seen this and while I hope Ramsey and ODowda stay fit, they can’t be relied on.

As for Robinson, we know Bulut doesn’t rate him and won’t play him upfront. We want 2 new strikers, Etete and Meite were ahead of him last season. So he’s 5th or 6th choice depending on if he will play Davies upfront.

I just don’t see him being involved.
