Unofficial ALL TRANSFER DEADLINE STUFF thread

[Hopalong]

#wbafc closing in on THREE deals. Advanced talks with #saints for Charlie Austin, Pereira undergoing medical at training ground, Diangana from  #whufc very close, I’m told.

Pereira reported earlier to be having medical in London.

Couldn't see us signing Gayle as well.
We paid decent money for Zohore, if we signed those 2 as well I just don't see where he'd fit in.
Austin is the main signing if it happens.

We've made a £30m profit on sales in the last 12months, and reports have already stated there's money in the budget from last season remaining.

We've also reduced our wage bill significantly last season with so many players leaving/vs arrivals and wage differences.

Austin is likely to be a minimal fee, with Saints contributing to his wages, and neither Diangana or Periera will be commanding big wages due to where they're coming from... and the fees will barely be a million pounds combined.

We've also been willing to drop £8m for Ajeti, £15m for Maupay, so there is no shortage of funds... If Gayle is available on loan, lets get him in and worry about how we get everyone on the pitch tomorrow.

Absolutely. It's a myth that we can't afford also to get Gayle in. If we're going to go up we should be willing to push the boat out a bit and we've already cut our costs massively.

Signing Gayle isn't going to bankrupt the club, but it could take us up

Gayle's salary 2.08m. Austin 3.5m  Don't understand why we can't afford to sign Gayle.

Zohore for £8 million is sounding weirder by the minute, esp. if that's the grounds for not being able to afford Gayle

Believe we paid c4m....up to 8m with add-ons, promotion, goals etc...

Gayle is on rather more than £40k/week!

Not according to the FACTS.
