Why do we keeptalking about Hoever when we have 2 right backs. If we signed him the squad would be unbalanced and they only want 22 senior players anyway No chance are we spending a load of money on another right back Because neither are good enough to be regular starters. Gooch isn’t really a defender and Junior is poor positionally, reckless in the tackle and has an awful touch going forward

The rules are ridiculous aren't they. Insane how we can spend so much on the stadium and other facilities yet not on actual players. Makes no sense.

With Huth as loans manager at Leicester I’m still expecting something to come our way especially as him and Walters have a man crush. Cannon and Arry come to mind and probably not going to be sold for FFP reasons. Any loans will probably come late to save cash. Both would be more than decent additions if affordable. It will be interesting to see how Darnboroughs recruitmentment compares with Jared Dublin, who did a massive job of getting value for money.

Think you need to realise that we are a bottom half Championship club with not much money to spend If you think we are going to spend up to 5 million on a right back when we already have two you are delusional

Well as we saw when we gave Rowett the keys to the kingdom that transfer money doesn't always equal promotion. It'll be interesting to see how they do.

It'll be hilarious if they don't go up, and you never know. League One is tough and their manager is totally unproven

I still wouldn’t want Souttar for a back 4 which is what he seems to have gone with. But you would have Rose or Wilmot? He would add aerial dominance which is my worry at present. They both suit Shumacher's preferred style better. Playing high up the field doesn't suit Souttar as he can't turn quickly so the space behind him is exploited by the opposition. We did well to sell him, don't bring him back!

We can match and beat that quite easily if we want to. IMO we should be all over it. I thought they'd want a lot more than that.

I think they're both pretty fantastical guesses and quite wrong on both counts.

Agree, makes no sense to have different rules for what is essentially the same competition. What happens next season though when Birmingham come up? Surely this will count as one of their three and seeing as they were sailing close to the wind financially last season (can't remember if they got a transfer embargo) they will have to sell to comply with FFP. Or do they think that by next season the rules will have changed?

You’re very much glossing over the “whatever he’s allowed to”. FFP hasn’t magically vanished. Bet365 accounts showed us losing no more than a third of what we were allowed per year over a three year cycle last year. That amount has been increased by £3M over the cycle as well. Then there is a shit ton of money to be stripped out of that for non FFP considered costs including the entire costs of the academy and womens teams. So we're allowed to lose £14M this season plus everything we were under our FFP headroom for last season without even having to squeeze next season. You're right FFP hasn't just vanished neither is it a guessing game.

Or do you just make pessimistic statements to avoid yourself being disappointed??

So it appears Stansfield is gonna be too expensive. We’ve missed out on Armstrong. Ugbo looks destined for Sheffield Weds. what other realistic options are out there for us? Sam Gallagher? Cannon on loan? Think we might have to gamble on a lesser known entity from abroad

Cannon on loan? Think we might have to gamble on a lesser known entity from abroad That is not expensive for Stansfield. He's at least as good probably better than strikers signed by championship clubs last season for £8M and upwards ie Ellis Simms, Ross Stewart, Tom Cannon. He's scored more championship goals than them.

I'll gladly have a bet of an amount of your choosing that we don't spend £6m+ on a single transfer this summer. I'll bet you we've got well over £6M to spend. How would I know how we'll choose to spend it?? That's not something you can work out with a bit of fairly basic maths.
