Transfer record of £1 million?

[Long Old Poke]

Think Morgan will still be here in Feb 2025.

If Super Cooper's off, as well as Burton (confirmed yesterday) will we be looking for a new first choice keeper, or a back up to Hazard? Presume Baker stays as third choice.

Is Hazard good enough to be our first choice?

We need two good keepers who will push each other like when we had Larrieu and McCormick.

Hazard can be one of them but we'd need another to challenge him.

If Cooper moves on, Christian Walton is likely to be available from Ipswich

can't see that tbh as he's only played 1 championship game this season and that was a 90th min sub yesterday! He's too untested in this league.

That was who I was alluding to earlier.

So if Cooper goes for £8M…

Half to playing budget? £2M uplift for 2 years?
£2M to reset player investment fund to zero?
£2M for wider capital projects (Harpers, Fan Zones, Brickfields etc.)

Is this how we think it might work?

 

[Mr Gillingham]

Wages will be a bigger problem than transfer fees.

💯.
Argyle will have to be comfortable with breaking their wage structure, all part of becoming a sustainable Championship club with Premier League aspirations. The journey has only just begun

If we do sell Cooper for £8m we could do a lot worse than signing the Rotherham keeper for £900k and spending the surplus on other areas of the team.

Was that the guy who was a bit of a 'character' ..... had a good bit of banter with the Demport - but had a really good game too?

Conor Ripley. Just been relegated with Port Vale.

 

[Argyleloyal]

No it doesn't.

Why doesn’t it? It’s clear we’re not made of money and can’t afford big transfers all the time

 

[Argyleloyal]

what source? the season only finished yesterday!

If you care to read it proper I said according to another poster on a different thread

Unless we are keeping Whittaker and can buy Finn, then I’d hope we stick to a max of 2 million per signing.

Think we need a mix of young up and coming from lower leagues, and experienced like Forshaw.

Like to pick up some free transfers too.

Key is to have a deep bench with good options to draw on, and competition for places.

The talk of signing Finn back to me seems crazy, as much as i would love for it to happen i cant see it happening. He has only just joined Boro for approximately £2.5m, he is playing regularly for them, so they only way we would have a sniff would be to pay upwards of £5m, its just not happening.

Because the OP has asked if we'll break our record. We could do that without selling anyone. Just like we did last year.

New year, new budget.

I agree but it does then make relegation even more perilous. It's not like relegation from the Premier League where you get those huge parachute payments.
