What the actual fuck!!?? Are you being serious? I don’t think I’ve deleted a post on here in years. If ever?? You’re making yourself look very very silly here. Even sillier than normal. Which is some achievement. Ok so are you denying you attempted to credit Walter’s with the planned new training centre? Hey it wasn’t me describing you as a lunatic. Pot kettle black? Who’s making themselves look silly? Go look at the SUPER JON posters in your bedroom🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jesus. How old are you? You sound like a 14 year old. Which is harsh on most 14 year olds. I’m actually lost and don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I have a vague memory of seeing Walters on SSN a couple of months ago talking about the training centre. If I’m right I think I posted praising the PR and that it looked good for the club or something on those lines? Is that what you’re referencing? Either way it’s all a bit strange on your part. Apologies, a lot strange.

View AttachmentPatience! As another poster quite rightly pointed out there are a number of parties (and circumstances) involved in a transfer ( ins & outs) They’ll have had their Plan A & Plan B lists for sometime, and off course unexpected opportunities will arise What letter will be be on when we sign an actual striker?

Your man crush on him is public record.

Suppose it may depend. We could go out get one now for about 2m, or a big bid may come in for one of our players which allows us to buy an unexpected striker option for 8m who is way better than rushing for the 2m pound man

We get the same people moaning about the lack of signings every summer. This time last year we had 4 players in by this date last year and the season started a week earlier. We went on to sign a shit load of players by the end of the window but because we had to. This time we can make sure we are getting better players who are going to have an impact on the first 11, rather than building a whole squad. Better players have more options and we have to wait for the Premier League clubs to decide who is available, and for the clubs with parachute money to cherry pick what they want before we get a chance. For context the squad for the first friendly last year was; Bonham, Macari, Tymon, Wilmot, Taylor, M. Baker, Brown, Laurent, Tezgel, Sparrow, Campbell. (Second Half): Nna Noukeu, Edwards, Okagbue, Bradley-Morgan, McCarron, Kershaw, Griffiths, Smith, Wright-Phillips, Reddin, McGuinness. This year; Johansson (Bonham 45’), Gooch (Tchamadeu 45’), Rose (Dixon 45’), Gibson (Wilmot 45’), Bocat (Stevens 45’), Sidibe (Thompson 45’), Laurent (Baker 45’), Burger (Johnson 45’), Léris (Manhoef 45’), Vidigal (Junho 45’), Tezgel (Ennis 45’) Anyone saying we aren't better off this year than last is lying. We will sign 5, maybe 6 more players before the window shuts I guarantee it.We probably will, but for the last few years we have been complaining about players starting without a proper preseason. Financially things are supposed to have improved, so to be in the same position again is depressing. People appear to be lowering their expectations when they should actually be raising them. It looks as if we are supposed to be happy with the scrapings of the barrel. Surely we should be better than that. If we want to reduce the size of our squad then we need to shift players or don't resign some whose contracts are up. This dithering and talking about reducing, instead of doing it, smacks of indecision and inability to assess the players we have at the moment. It certainly doesn't inspire confidence. It's the same for all clubs in our position though. The problem is around the daft FFP rules and the gulf between the PL money and the championship.

Here's the latest state of play in the Championship: www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/transfers/wettbewerb/GB2Lots of punts into foreign markets from a lot of teams this year. Not sure if the 56% of foreign transfers quoted by transfermarkt is correct or how it compares to other seasons but that seems interestingly high to me. Wonder if younger loans from PL clubs will happen later in the window? I remember a couple of windows ago a lot of clubs dipped into the lower leagues for cheap players and bosmans (Cardiff and Bristol City stick out to me). I wonder if there is a change in thinking across the board?

League One is interesting and it shows the SCMP protocols are vastly different to the P&S in the Championship, where owners can invest whatever they like as opposed to the restrictions in the Championship. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/transfers/wettbewerb/GB3Birmingham have a current net spend of over 9M, which puts them third behind Burnley and Coventry in our league so far - mental!

How fucking ropey is this🤷♂️🔴⚪️ What raises my eyebrows is that Villa had a sell on clause written into the deal. One that they have benefitted from in buying him back! How can that be allowed? Surely receiving a sell on clause should not apply when you're actually buying back the player!

Isn't it measured over a 3 year period? What happens if Blues go up?, Does it form part of that calculation or do they get a free hit by being in League 1?

Surely receiving a sell on clause should not apply when you're actually buying back the player! Pretty sure it would have to be worded as something like any subsequent transfer otherwise you'd be opening up all sorts of loopholes and clubs would be fucking one another over left right and centre. 30% sell on = 30% discount when returning to their original club. Seems pretty logical.

He wouldn’t cost £15m for a years loan 😂😂😂😂 No I was on about a perm, he’d probably cost more than that. I’m really not wanting a loan at this stage. I want a perm CF so we have a good base squad then loans can be the icing on the cake. Have you actually read the post I quoted before jumping in feet first?

The reality is nobody will know if he’s a success or failure until at least another 6 months have passed. I’ve seen posters who were happy with his appointment (I’m one) because of their feelings about him as a former player. But I’m not sure I’ve seen any hero worshipping. I think it will be longer than 6 months before we can make a proper assessment either way. The whole hero worshipping is weird though and i'm surprised that nobody else has really picked up on it. He has his name sung from the stands many times per game, every game. Some games he's been chanted about for pretty much the whole game and not a single song for the manager. It's just a bit weird I find. I can't remember Norwich fans singing about Stuart Webber's magic hat or Huddersfield fans singing about Mark Cartwright's favourite pizza. Singing songs about a Technical Director at games? I know he's a very well thought of ex player but... Popular ex player who has a song already? Imagine if someone like Cantona became Technical Director at The Shit? You think they wouldn't sing his name?

Think I've explained in the edit that was something I'd like and not linked to selling Junho. Then you mentioned selling him and I'd naturally expect a pretty big permanent signing to compensate for his loss. Hope I've explained myself now. Don't want folk not understanding what I post. Whether they like or agree with it I couldn't give a shit.

How fucking ropey is this🤷♂️🔴⚪️ Didn’t this happen with Badou Ndiaye. We paid Galatasaray £14m before being loaned back to them after just 13 games. Not sure how much they paid if anything as we were full on basket case at the time.

I think we got a loan fee each and every time we loaned out both him and Etebo. Some seriously weird shit going on back then. I think memories are seriously clouded over those two players. I can only remember 1 seriously bad performance between them (Badou vs Leeds under Rowett). Never understood why we weren't using good players just because they'd indicated they wanted to leave.

I'd be happy with considerably more than that and wouldn't even be that concerned about paying the £5M. Course and distance proven, very versatile with a lot of attributes. I think McBurnie would be a cheaper option and would probably score more too but not as versatile and older and probably wanting a lot more wages.

He's got interesting stats for sure. fbref.com/en/players/fb152f96/Brandon-Thomas-AsanteHe's the epitome of a 1 in 3 striker. I suppose that's what 2.5M gets you in this league. It will be interesting to see what the club think they can improve with him if they go down that route.
