League 1 Birmingham spending £9m-10m and we struggle to put bids of £900k in, despite brining in a cool £40m.

Hollywood owners means Hollywood times. We’ve got the Chuckle Brothers trying to seal deals waiting for lift-off from another time zone!

Option with a buy for Godo would be ideal.

Expand  

Think he's out of contract next summer.

It's actually a piss-take, we've missed out on some decent wingers for less that a million too... Topi Keskinen and Siriki Dembele for example.

Expand  

Dembele went for £1.4m, apparently. No idea if a Finnish player doing on in Scotland means anything - didn't Hedges do well in Scotland?

Smelliott said Dembele was £800k - and yes, Hedges did well in Scotland.

Dembele went for 1.5 I’m reading 

keskinen an unknown and ended up in Scotland - remember this forum being in uproar when vente went to hibs - he’s been shocking 

but your general point is correct about lack of investment but is anyone really that surprised been the same for years now

Jeez, did we actually want him and Venkys refused to sign off on £800k after taking it tens of millions?

If that’s the case our recruitment department have done there homework. Ohashi, Baker, and now Godo who could potentially come in for next to nothing

Elliot playing it as though Eustace was out voted by the recruitment team.

Personally think they didn't want to spend on Cantwell and Dembele.

Godo will probably sign an extension at Fulham before joining us on loan.

Some Clubs actually have smart people running the show.

[Angry_Pirate]

My bet on today's puns.

"Who's Hungary for another signing" - Balázs Tóth 

"We Cant well wait to share our next signing" - Todd Cantwell

"Get Cozy, another incoming" - Cozier-Duberry 

"Oh God, one more" - Martial Godo

Oxford manager seems to have a similar affinity for signing wide players that Mowbray did for central midfielders.  I think they have 7 now

It's the Venky way and it's one thing they show a talent for.

 Been plenty of Premier league 1m deals with a sell on. Should try our luck

[Forever Blue]

Jackson saying JE wanted Dembele but others on transfer committee didn’t so it didn’t happen.

JE also wanted Baker, transfer committee agreed so it happened.

Be interesting to know why the committee didn’t want Dembele

Could we get Hill? Hes not going to play for Bournemouth... Would be ideal pacy cover at the back (though not left footed which is a shame).

[Rover1984]

Jackson may as well be on the venkys payroll only states what club wants him to know. Not his fault, just the firm he works for
