Was talking to a friend today about the squad and he reminded me that we've committed 8m to diomande and cortes! It's a lot and we need to start seeing those 2 performing to a level there fee's would suggest they have. Have we over committed given how little cash we have?

On the never never or better known as Europa money, should be OK bud, club seems more frugal.

Tbh ait does seem a lot when finds are tight but at 8 million between them with both player at a good age and on a relatively low wage I'd imagine then you'd have to think that's decent business if they prove to be rangers class if they don't then it's obviously money down the pan but that's the chance you take.

I think diomande will turn good but a lot more people seem to think otherwise but the 4 million price tag is looking a bit much for what we are getting at the moment but hopefully be worth it in the long run. I also have high hopes for cortes and both are very young. Maybe I’m just trying to be positive in a negative time.

4m is nothing in transfer money ows, both young men, hopefully make us cash in the future.

I think Diomande needs an experienced midfielder next to him and Cortes needs to stay fit for more then a few weeks at the time.

I think Diomande is already bought. Still committed to buying Cortes for £4M tho but given he is returning from a serious knee injury then I would hope that fee is conditional on his fitness. Otherwise it has the potential to be a Roofe like transfer….

£4mil is huge money to us. We don't have that kind of money to waste on players that don't perform. We can't afford to spend that kind of money and get it wrong! They better make us money or we will end up in a bad way financially again. Just look at the state of our finances now as a result of spending and not getting a return!

4 million is a lot of money to us but that’s what these players cost unfortunately. Considering cortes had only spent 1 year at lens i'm assuming he had 3 years left when we negotiated that fee and it seems like diomande was quite highly regarded as a promising up and coming player with other offers in Europe. Him and Cortes both want to be here so hopefully if we stick by them they will come good. If it’s any consolation I think igamane looked promising when he came on as he was one I was thinking the price tag was quite heavy, too early to judge yet though.

Cortez is now permanent.

8M for 2 players is nothing, they paid over that for 1. we all want quality but then complain about spending money. what quality can we get for less than 4M.
05 Sep 2024 09:25:33
They have the money though geesa and their players are performing. We don't have the money and our signings are not performing.
05 Sep 2024 11:25:15
Geesa no1 is complaining, only asking a valid point based on performances particularly dio who hasn't shown me he's worth 4.5m but it's very early to judge.

Cortes is not permanent yet, loan with obligation to buy, means payment not due until next summer. This was negotiated as he got injured during his loan last season . Although it is an obligation, I would assume that there are certain opt out conditions for us.
