Of course there are variables. But I didn’t even mention Travis, Buckley, Lenihan, JRC etc who could also command big fees. As for rolling the dice? Wow, they literally cannot win. If you / we want them to have the slightest chance of going up they have to spend money. How else are they going to generate the cash to stay within ffp? They are simply trying to grow as many assets as possible to offset the risk. Oppositely, we go back to living within our means, struggling to 15k fans through the gates and languish in the lower part of the championship? Q - How many other clubs with similar gates and income and no parachute money are spending like we are and not selling their Crown Jewels every summer?

They’ve got plenty of money and the plan is to sell Dack next summer anyway to stave off any potential threat. It’s believed by this time that B.B. Gally and Arma along with Butterworth and Rothwell will have developed sufficiently to step into those shoes and keep us moving forwards... Here’s a funny one. People pay most money for young forwards who score goals. If those five kicked on over the next 3yrs you’ve probably got between £50-75m of assets after Dack. Sell one every summer and you remain competitive, keep ffp at bay and continue to build...maybe that’s why we spend our money on the academy and forwards ?

100% - I think the players we have signed and are about to sign have been / are good. Contrary to what has been said on here the manager said he wanted to add championship experience and he’s done that in spades. The timing could’ve been better but in having cause to read a couple of other clubs mb’s last week I discovered that there’s far more worry elsewhere where virtually no players have been signed. The Wigan and Preston ones were particularly entertaining with both boards openly worried about relegation, slagging the ownership and looking enviously at OUR business!! (Did make me laugh) As I said in May, the manager has stated his aim to challenge the top 6 and in order to do that you need quality in depth. We have that now imo in both Midfield and Forwards. BUT the addition of Walton and Ada will not adequately sure up our defence and therefore, if we stop there then for the first time TM will have actually failed and I will begin to lose faith in his ability to take my beloved club to where it wants to go. Hes got significant financial muscle. Those painting us out to be penniless are so wrong. The infrastructure is growing daily. It wouldn’t even surprise me if they do a cash buy AFTER doing the exp keeper and Defender.

Three different words in each of those sentences could’ve changed the prognosis to ‘good to very good’....a simple glass half full to glass half empty scenario. I do however, agree that an experienced keeper AND cb are imperative to us having the depth and quality to push the top 6. In particular, the sight of Jermaine Defoe rising in between our two floundering cb’s to head in a cross in our 6yard box with no keeper flying out to clatter him yesterday should’ve rung every alarm bell possible to the management team....
-
It would be odd for all parties if they did purely loan. Not least Brighton who slapped a price tag of reported £3m on him in May. I reckon loan to buy for £1m with a sell on...just a guess.
-
Plenty of room. Smallwood getting fazed out, Evans has half a season, max, Rothwell will play further forward and Downing will be used in different positions. I think Davenport will have been earmarked to play a lot of football this year and I hope (in his absence) that they play Buckley rather than sign Adam or Whelan. My ideal in a 433 would be to play Johnson as the anchor and play Travis (to the right of the three) and one of Rothwell or Buckley to the left.
-
Doesn’t really make sense unless he’s permenant?
-
The manager giving specific praise to Bucko after the Rangers match yesterday. He’s the reason we won’t replace Davenport ??
-
I think we’ll do an experienced CB as well as those positions ??
-
No need to hold your hands up pal. Things change and that’s life. Even if both signings you had signed, you still have people questioning you...
-
That would be amazing!!!
-
Don’t rise mate. They genuinely don’t like any real info. Prefer spouting nonsense. Laugh at them and scroll on..
-
Unbelievable. Why are you trying to hound out the only guy with any real info? Turn it in.
-
Nope, I don’t think one defender is enough.
-
No, but he, DG, Johnson, Downing and our defence with another year of experience might? For what it’s worth I expect us to sign an experienced CB too..
-
Jeez, do you think that game management just comes from Defenders?
-
I agree wages in the Bundesliga (other than the top couple of teams) are similar to the Championship. I genuinely don’t think our number one target is Carson you know. If it were that link would be strong by now and being talked about on both sides. Interesting.
-
Good, Adarabioyo and one Keeper will make my Sat! ??
-
Good. And what about Adarabioyo?
-
Fulham are a team of absolute shit houses. Always have been. Doubt very much they’ll go back up.
-
Imagine putting £17m a year into something and being referred to as a cheapskate. You must be absolutely minted.
-
Sharpe spoke with Mowbray tonight. Any updates from the manager?
-
I have to agree. They took the decision to let Raya go without anything else agreed and they will live and die by those decisions.
-
Why isn’t there a ❤️ Button?

@Bbrovers2288 anything going down?
