Peterborough Chairman basically just hinted that we’ve had a bid rejected for Mo Eisa1

Last seasons top 4 in the premiership had the 4 biggest wage bills and the 4 most expensive squads.Airman Brown said:
Spending is the single biggest predictor of success. It isn’t a guarantee and there are other factors, but no question it gives you the biggest chance.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
It doesn't necessarily equal success if you're talking in PL terms. For example Man U could spend 100m but when you have City and Chelsea spending 150m it might not get United very far.Swisdom said:
Precisely. Spending doesn't necessarily equal successmendonca said:
Man City didn't even win the league the season after their huge spending. It took them time to build a synergy and not just bang the goals in and concede more.Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?
The Top 2 places for spending have definitely gone to Ipswich and Wigan.
But i'd say there's a strong chance that a side spending big sums on their squad in league one will have a good chance of promotion. Especially when a large proportion of the division is struggling financially post-covid.1 -

Is there anyway of hearing that?CafcSCP said:
Doubt it. Simon Jordan tore him a new on last year when he had to explain profit and loss, gross and net profit. Live!!😂Mendonca In Asdas said:I bet MS will be trawling through that with a tooth comb.0 -

This is why the “keeping your business private” mantra lauded on here is nonsense, by the way. It’s not just your business.1

Someone asked him to like their tweet if we were one of the clubs, he liked the tweet.ButtleJR said:
If you're getting that info from his Twitter Q&A, I have no clue how you came to that conclusion. He said he's turned down bids from 2 top 8 clubs and one isn't Sunderland... Not saying one's not us but come on.sammy391 said:Peterborough Chairman basically just hinted that we’ve had a bid rejected for Mo Eisa2 -
Absolutely not. Yes I’m sure they will be there or thereabouts but so will another seven teams. How each team does doesn’t just depend on the players in the team. The manager, squad backup, injuries, suspensions, harmony, luck will all play a part. Tall order to pick the two top spots in this league. I don’t doubt they’ll both be at least playoff contenders but so will we.Mendonca In Asdas said:I’m not in panic mode, but have the top 2 places already gone too Ipswich and Wigan, given their transfer dealings so far?1 -
Lincoln, Wycombe, Shrewsbury all valid arguments in recent years but look at which clubs are around them in the table. It’s about probability.lancashire lad said:Lincoln did quite well last season and I don't think that they spent much on transfers0 -

the other ‘Like this tweet if it was Charlton’1 -
Eisa and Fraser would both be in the ‘very decent League one’ catergory of signings.5
-
Has MacAnthony checked yet to see if we're not under an embargo....?17
-
To be fair darragh just liked a tweet from someone when they suggested if Charlton were on of the teams who bidded on Eisa. Think this one could have legs0

Stuck £10 on Wigan to win the league outright at 18/1.
Everyone saying "Money doesn't guarantee success" you're correct, but it gives you a much much higher chance than a team that isn't investing at scale.7 -
Eisa playing behind Stockley just based on watching his montages could work very well or even as a partnership up top, definitely a player I wouldn't turn my nose up at0

Darragh does talk a lot of rubbish, still going on about Eisa being a guaranteed 20 goal a season striker if he plays 40 games so no doubt he's valuing him at that which is probably a couple £m.
Not a chance in hell we're spending more than ~£500k on a single player imo2 -
Eisa didnt really get a look in last season, Id much rather we spent the fee on a higher offer for fraiser4
-
Eisa was really poor in the games I saw him play last season, but wasn't really given a fair chance to be fair. People I know who support them don't rate him at all. Imo Washington is a far better option, happy to be proven wrong though.10
-
I do think we need a striker in the door , I don't think getting ransomed by Peterborough for Eisa is the best way forward however.14
-
Someone ask Darragh if he is still mates with Southall13
-
FFS look who he's gone and replied to... I'd assume the add ons were for promotion and 20 goals?
500k is my guess (plus add ons)

We need another striker though regardless. I'm not 100% convinced by Eisa, but then who is there who wouldn't carry the same risk?ButtleJR said:Eisa was really poor in the games I saw him play last season, but wasn't really given a fair chance to be fair.

I very much doubt that we will be. IF the rumours are true, we made an offer and it was (seemingly) knocked back. It's likely to be a bluffing game/staring contest now, who will blink first? If they really want him off the books or need the money for their own dealings it needn't be Charlton who cave.MarcusH26 said:I do think we need a striker in the door , I don't think getting ransomed by Peterborough for Eisa is the best way forward however.1 -
Very true. Not many options. Just think he'd want to be guaranteed a starting position too after last season.cafcfan1990 said:

Shouldn’t we judge how much we and other clubs have invested once the window has closed? A lot can happen between now and the end of August.J BLOCK said:Stuck £10 on Wigan to win the league outright at 18/1.

I don’t expect us to be one of the top 2 spenders but I expect our wage bill will be in the top 6.2
