Summer Transfer Window

[SheepRanger]

I have no idea how long Field's got left on his contract, but if he wants to leave us, I wonder what his value would be?

Surely a big club like Norwich could afford £1.5m, another £500k if they got into the top 8 and another £500k if they got promoted.....?

£1.5m upfront for a player in his peak years with bags of championship experience is very affordable....???

I have a feeling the days of big transfer fees are behind us now, with the Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) coming into Championship next season which only allows 85% revenue to be spend on playing squad includes wages and transfer fees, players are not going to accept wages decreases that is for sure. Explains why we are letting big earners like Cook and Hayden go though. So apart from likes of relegated teams with parachute payments and Birmingham and Wrexham with their huge sponsorship deals we have a very limited pool of teams to sell to.

With the 3/4 smallest ground in league and Wrexham being one of them, we are going to have a bottom 3 budget next season compared to rest of division. Let’s hope their are buyers for likes for Madsen so we can reinvest in the squad.

The name Boy Kemper may not be one that's too familiar for North End fans, but R's supporters have heard plenty about him in recent weeks. The Dutchman has spent his entire career in his native country, having risen through the ranks at Volendam and Ajax.

The 26-year-old is currently the captain of Eredivisie side NAC Breda, but will leave the club on a free transfer at the end of June, with QPR already registering interest in signing the left-back in the summer.

Yeah, thats the way it seems to be going. I just hope there's some money out there for Madsen, Varane & Field so we have a chance to keep Kone & Burrell unless really stupid offers come in for one of them.

I can see a lot of players leaving if there's money on the table and end of contract players coming in. Free transfers like Kemper (LB) and Sidibe (DMF) seem to have plenty of experience. Im sure there are plenty of European based free transfers out there to keep us a midtabled side at the very least.

I'm hearing plenty of interest is unfortunately surfacing for Madsen. Putting this transfer gossip to one side I feel like it's massively important that we keep him. It's unlikely we'd fend off premier league/top level championship interest in him if the 10m was to come in for him but that would ultimately mean we'd be looking for 2 central midfielders not just a partner we currently need for him.

Who are you hearing this from…..the fairies under the bed.lts those damn voices.

As good as Madsen had been last season I dont think hes good enough for the pace of the premier league.

One day he might get sold to a relegated premier league side for their promotion push, but I reckon £5m next summer would make us £1.5m profit after we've had him three seasons. Its rumoured hes contracted to 2029.
