The other board haven't got a clue. They just throw enough muck that some of it will stick. It's also deliberately vague so if we sign someone like Levitt, they can see, told you. Someone claimed "I've heard we're going to sign a striker and a centre mid". Well done, Sherlock.

The only really realistic one is Lockyer. Don't think we could afford the others, or they're not good enough. I'll let you decide where that leaves Gareth Bale... but can he really expect to start over Mark Harris?

Brooks is an interesting one, hard to judge where he's going to end up having missed so much football. I wouldn't be surprised if he signs on again at Bournemouth

Brooks signed a "long term contract" in the summer of 2019 while Bournemouth were in the PL and he had an exceptional season. I don't think he is out of contract. Transfermarkt says he is but I don't believe it, and I cannot find any details of his end date elsewhere. Just glad he is OK :thumbup:

I think you're right. The end date doesn't seem to have been reported though, which is odd. He signed for them in 2018 for 4 years, then extended it, so it's got to be until 2023 at least.

I have been hearing we will sign a few players.
I can't say anymore at this time but when they sign i will :thumbup:

Surely one of our stattos could do some analysis of the other boards accuracy rate as to transfers?
Me, I love the other board for all the wrong reasons and will keep referencing their posts

Dreadful. The best windows were the embargo one under Slade, and then Mackay's first in the Championship.

If its Everton you'd expect them to blow everyone else away. That leaves only one more spot and the playoffs.
If Forest or Bournemouth don't go up then they could be up there again, and Sheff Utd and West Brom will have money to spend as well.
Apparently Burnley will have to pay back ‘a significant proportion’ of a £65m loan if they get relegated- so we may be better off with them coming down as that’ll dent their parachute payments and probably less to them selling some of their better players

Serious questions have to be asked of the approval of owners in this country. It's one horror story after another recently. Burnley's owners bought Burnley with Burnley's own money for God's sake.

It’s absolutely bonkers that was allowed to happen.

That is crazy. Didn't the Glasers do the same when they bought Man Utd?

Yes, they take a loan out against the clubs future earnings to buy out the previous owners. Its insane.
At least with Man United they are a huge global brand so future earnings are guaranteed. Burnleys future earnings depend on their Premier League survival. I cannot believe the deal was ratified by the Premier League and FA.

The Glaziers also use the Manchester Utd brand value, to gain favourable finance for other projects

Re: Cardiff City have agreed deals with transfer targets, says Steve Morison
It’s called a Leveraged Buyout. Man United were hamstrung for a while because the debt went in to the club and not the owners.
It feels like they get the club for free - as long as it can service the loans.
