Hand pick league 1 gems pick up a couple from extensive scouting abroad & add a couple of premier league loans is my view
So much cheaper for a foreign player with the equivalent skills than an English one. Pretty much add an extra zero if buying from a fellow championship club (or a top league 1 player).
Best to sign as many EU players now before they all need work permits...
It's a bit Niorty to be publishing unverified rumours such as these. More suited to coffee shop chat...
Actually, that's a really good point. Could become more difficult after the end of the year. Could also push the price of British players up again.
I have a feeling mason will leave with 2 new left backs coming inDabo and DaCosta one side, Mason and Giles the other.
wing back spaces sorted
We had a solid settled back line was always gonna be difficult for him to break into the side,says a lot about mason tho as he was then behind Giles I can see mason leaving also
So Cov fan to obsess over a player that spent 12 minutes on the pitch for us
Sign of where we are at! Dabo in League 1 valued at between £750.000 to £1 million - in the Championship valued at 12.5 million
But he did do that run and cross......
I agree. Fadz as back up this season with the intention of getting Williams and Drysdale ready to step up as cover and eventually challenge for first team.
Probably a condition from Norwich that Mccallum had to play all games because of the loan back.
Or...
Robins had a settled club, getting results week in, week out and there wasn't really an opening for Giles.
Bit pointless but I've been looking at some past transfer activity of successful championship teams. Leicester built over a few years but their biggest hits are probably within our ballpark. Just takes good scouting. They got Mahrez for 450k from the French 2nd division. Sold him for 60 million Vardy was 1.1m from the lower leagues.
It's definitely doable on a big scale, we have proven time and time again we can in l1 and 2
The system Robins has put in placing regarding recruitment seems to be providing more hits than misses, and always within our budget constraints.
The championship is a different ball game, in regards to footballing ability and budget. Even taking those facts into consideration I fully believe in what Robins has setup and that his recruitment will be clinical and fully researched (with maybe a gamble like Kastaneer thrown in) this summer.
I think Robins's past forays into the championship with other teams will have taught him what is needed to succeed in that league. He comes across to me as a man who learns from his mistakes. Hopefully his turbulent times at other clubs is to our benefit.
Wonder how much people would pay to see Liam Kelly's meat? Could fund a bit I recon
Also in fairness, the Thais subsidised some huge losses before they learned their lesson in the market.
I can definitely see that becoming the focus of a chant for him next season.
"Kelly, show us ya meat! Kelly, Kelly, show us ya meat!"
"Get your meat out, get your meat out, get your meat out for the lads!"
Julien Dacosta, at the end of the Chamois Niortais contract, will move to Coventry City next season. The West Midlands club is promoted to Championship (English League 2). The formalization of a 3-year contract should take place within the next 24 hours.
