Hound 6m for a 30 year old - not really the right deal for us at This stage I’d say

Where have they suddenly got loads of money from anyway? Thought they were skint


Rather £6m for Grabban at 30 than £7.5m for Aluko at 28

AthleticoSpizz Missed opportunity?

I'd say so. But then Vydra has gone and got the golden boot last season so the issue clearly was/is with us

I thought so too. But the business they've already done this summer suggests they're pulling a Wolves:
In: Tobias Figueiredo - Sporting Lisbon (Undisclosed), Michael Dawson - Hull (Free), Joao Carvalho - Benfica (£13.2m), Diogo Goncalves - Benfica (Loan), Gil Bastiao Dias - Monaco (Loan), Jack Robinson - QPR (Free), Hillal Soudani - Dinamo Zagreb (Undisclosed), Costel Pantilimon - Watford (Undisclosed), Lewis Grabban - Bournemouth (Undisclosed)

:shock:

Yep, Carvalho and Grabban alone, have cost them almost 20 mil.

New owner, Marinakis, took over last year (vowing to return club to Prem)...Greek shipping magnate, and also owner of Greek champs Olympiakos.

Sounds like FFP could becoming their way again if it doesn't work rather quickly.
