We haven't even signed loan players yet... We invariably end up with 3-4 loans 

So pretty sure we will hit those numbers. Obviously whether they are the right quality is a different question.

Loans will start to happening shortly. PL will start releasing them on loan to Championship clubs

Think you're gonna be disappointed.

Well we see in the coming 9 days.

Might as well close this thread now, the court case being kicked down the road pretty much puts a stop on any spending IMO

We will soon see, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just 3 loans through the door next week.

Waggott brings Coyle and Kean back as joint head coaches, with Bradley Orr, Leon Best & Danny Murphy as their coaching team, whilst Anderson replaces Gestede as director of football?

Sign Barry Horne? 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

My issue with Eustace wanting to call the shots in signing players he knows is that he hardly knows any at or around this level, he was manager at Brum for a year and a bit, prior to that he was non-league. At least Mowbray could remember being impressed by the likes of Dack and Armstrong having seen them play against his past teams.

Let him who hath understanding, reckon the number of the beast. For it is a human number.

I count 17 players loaned from Premiership clubs so far. Including Jesurun Rak-Sakyi who was in Palace's Prem squad last season and is likely to be quality at this level.

If we had proper ambitious owners, we'd sign the following players before the window shuts;

Daniel Iversen (£1.6m)
Brandon Williams (Free)
Yasin Ayari (Loan)
Siriki Dembele (£1.2m)
Franco Umeh-Chibueze (Loan)
Jay Stansfield (£6m)

If only eh? The Szmodics sale alone would cover all of that.

I dare say, we'd easily make the top-half with signings like that... with play-offs becoming a genuine possibility.

If we had proper ambitious owners, I would suggest we would be after players better than most of those!

I think some need to take a reality check.

Decent players like Iversen and Stansfield even if loaned, don't come cheap and probably out of our range when loan fee and wages factored in.  The fact we are trying to get rid of high end earners (like Travis) tells its own story.

I think the reality is we will be scavenging for a combination of cheap overseas' signings, those UK based players still without a club and loan signings from PL clubs who no one else wants. 

Those still dreaming of Stansfield need to wake up and smell the coffee - not a snowball's chance in hell he ends up here even on loan.

All speculation o can’t for a second think that Ruddy and Waggot won’t be calling the shots on all incomings  if any. I’d take all these rumours with a huge pinch of salt

If we had proper ambitious owners, we would still be in the PL, or worse case scenario, have been promoted by now

Or Venkys sells the club to their cousins, from the fathers side 

[pomster]

Wont be long now before the maggot fires off the HR team afterall if we're not signing anyone whats the point in paying them? Just another expense he can write off

[alex l]

I'd be surprised if Travis leaves, or is in negotiations to, given the video the club have just posted on their socials with him talking about how much the armband means to him and his return to the club

Posh Chairman in LT saying we’ve been robbed selling Szmods on the cheap - words to that effect.

That’s because they had a sell on. When Szmodics is 30 next year, back in the championship, 10 million will be decent business I think

Of course it will. Mcanthony is a gobshite talks so much nonsense the fact he says ‘ I don’t care if he’s 28’ (29 in less than a month) speaks volumes.

 I disagree. It’s poor business, just like Wharton.

[Emerald Isle Rover]

On the Travis interview it gives clear indication to the fans

1. Travis wants to stay

2. Eustace wants him as he’s captain 

so if he is sold it is from above so that will be interesting to see how that plays out 

no hiding place or excuses

29 year old 

1 breakout season

Agreed. I think its a relatively fair price, perhaps very slightly under what we might have got but certainly nowhere near the 'rip off' nonsense that the Posh megamouth and others have spouted.
