I won’t confess to knowing anything about him I can’t lie, but in many ways these are the most exciting! On face value & from the YT vids, he looks absolutely perfect & one I’m really excited about. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollsRoyce Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I was hoping it was Senny Mayulu But any Mayulu will do. Interesting player profile, it will be great to see what he can do and where and how he fits in. Different to what we have. Austerity is out the window then. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might suggest one or two of these other “confirmed” signings are free? If we are spending £3m on a player untested at this level. Do like the look of this fella however, will be interesting to see how our attacking play changes with him up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are spending £3m on a player untested at this level. I've no idea. But, I would think that our budget could well be higher this summer. We're in a good place, and the base squad is of a profile (age/experience/quality) that it could well be elevated by a few good buys. I'd not advocate for spending the farm to "give it a go", but I've long felt that this season is the best opportunity to have a tilt at it. I've no issue at all with a few decent sized fees being dropped - provided the amortisation and wages etc are probably managed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STeveOELlis Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 It’s fascinating how much credence people give to the Bristol Post. Whenever a transfer story from abroad breaks, they always say bid rejected, looking unlikely. Then, over the next hours/ days (depending how much time they’ve got before another British outlet publishes a story) they’ll publish another article saying another bid made, before a final article saying bid accepted. This is all ongoing whilst the original outlet that broke the story haven’t mentioned a single thing different from the original story. Reach PLC longs out a transfer story for clicks and revenue, and people on this forum treat them as gospel 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythikRobins Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Think a lot of championship clubs will be heading back towards that sort of spend range with the market finally stabilising. We've always been one of the higher spenders (non PP) in the division and for good reason. To me this transfer looks like one we'd laugh at in the future and talk about how we got him for such an outrageously low price he has the physical attributes that a lone 9 needs to succeed in todays game. Its now just about developing everything else, which I feel we're pretty good at. I Shouldn't count my eggs before they hatch though but I do hope we get him.

Loco Rojo Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 (edited) Im getting confused here (not difficult i know).... So based on what Brian said yesterday ('be happy with 4 attacking players'), the current position is this? Players close to being done: Player A - Fally Mayulu (c£/€3.5m - although seems deal isnt agreed yet). Player B - unconfirmed attacking player Now, moving on to the next 2: Player C - unconfirmed attacking plater Player D - unconfirmed attacking player Have i got that right?

If James Piercy is right (he usually is) this lad isn’t one of the two already agreed (according to Tinnion). Still think Twine will be one of the four, but no idea if he’s one of the two supposedly done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
