If we were buying a centre half for £3m from Belgium, everyone would be up in arms: ‘is he even any good?’ ‘We needed better than that’ ‘come on Doug stop being stingy’.

English, Championship pedigree, early 20’s for 10m: ‘way too much’ ‘waste of money’.

To be fair the club has been run well for a while now. Considering we have spent around £15 million on players since Doug has come in per window is it that concerning?

My worry is we can’t make the deal happen in time

I'm delighted we've now joined the dick swinging contests at the top of this league.. We're a promotion away from being those deluded cunts like Bournemouth were...

I for one cannot wait!
Just need to be taken over by a gulf state to complete the shit yourself bingo card

One nugget of info i have, is that the Thomas rumours have come from him wanting a new contract.

Hes seen the 2 midfielders (yes Sheaf is one) get an extension, he wants the same. Agents put the feelers out for him basically, but dont expext anything to actually come of it. He should stay here
So it was all agent talk as expected. Thought so.

Imagine if you were Kitching or Thomas and all the talk of Hughes possibly coming in. Would you raise your game to make sure you keep your place or wilt? Admittedly we need another CH but this is could be a positive thing for performance enhancement of what we have too.

If they wilt they aren't the sort of character we need at this club.

I hope that they’d think they’re better than him.

Genuinely been the longest transfer window everrrrr, so fucking bored of us going round in circles with these various targets 😭😭🤣
That’s because you’re not used to us going after players that not only other clubs are desperate to keep, also other clubs want them too

He's a good defender, and his passing through the lines and carrying of the ball been crucial and paid dividends already this year.

I've said previously, it wouldn't surprise me to see a back 3 played at times if we signed Hughes
We are not playing a back three in any game where Grimes is on the field. Tactically/Positionally doesn't make sense.
If Grimes is injured? Sure, play your best team if that includes 3 CB.

The owner or outside investment, it doesn't really matter. We're well within the spending rules. I suspect certain other clubs aren't.
Yeah we'll either get promoted and have massively increased income streams, King will cover the operating deficit, or we will be able to sell players next year for a lot mor ethan now i.e. Rudi who we all probably deep down know tha if he has a season like last season we won't be able to keep for a 3rd season.

Called it at the time.

Correct. Although its more money, i just see Hughes as a continuation of what we've been doing. I think our playing squad has significantly more value than the recruitment made by Birmingham, for example.
