How can someone who is a free agent and thus unemployed, possibly be out of our wage bracket???
How much do you get on the dole these days?

Because they have probably earned a fair bit of money so can choose to be picky.

Let’s offer Josh Brownhill £500 a week in that case! Should be enough to secure his services!

I have a feeling you might be right unfortunately. Can't really remember the last Coventry player to go out on loan and turn it around here.
Really hoping he can though. Looked quite good in recent appearances and one of the main things he seemed to be lacking was experience

Vitor the Wolves manager confirmed they were offered MVE but he was 4th choice RWB on their list

Didn't he turn down 100k a week at Leicester? We need to spread the money saved from Binks more wisely.

What is he? 21? A bit of a late developer physically, perhaps. He'll not want to end up in L1 or L2 at his age, I'm sure that he'd rather go abroad. If he survives the "welcome" then he'll come back useful. I reckon he'll be training with the first team next summer and it's a take it from there thing with him.

People really do not understand the concept of squad depth, it is astounding.

Strongly disagree but each to their own.
What ? It’s a stronger squad than last season , top scorers and we’ve just made the defence better, we’ll be fine

Our attacking subs, without injuries, are BTA and Simms.

Our first 11 is superb I’m not coming on here being critical of that
teams have stronger squads though and they’ll prove beneficial and well run out of steam unless we recruit in January
shame we didn’t get a couple of loans in that we’ve had months to plan

Fortunate then as BTA has 4 goal contributions in 4 games so far

I fully expect at least one marquee signing in January if we’re serious about getting promotion, ideally a wide forward

Be great when he’s our only rotation option up front and he might be away in the most congested part of the season

Simmo played 40 odd games last season too. That's an awful lot of time on the pitch just to write off, even if he doesn't score very often.

OK I'll entertain this. If Sakamoto gets injured, like he has previously, then BTA comes in. Our only attacking substitute is Simms. Is that good enough?
Matt smith

About time he started delivering then.

He's going to have to or his career is knackered!

It’s just so frustrating, a couple of season loans would have sufficed and it might have meant we could get through till next summer
They’ve sort of left themselves in a predicament where we have no choice but to recruit

People are trying to convince themselves that BTA and Simms are good enough attacking depth, before even considering our depth if we get 1 attacker injured

Fed up season after season of the trepidation of losing a couple of first team players through injury

It’s at the stage where I’d seriously ‘panic buy’ a free agent just for a body in the building
Speedie's Head

I know! Especially the strikers.
Fucking hell, we shat the bed for the first 1/3 of last season and still made the play-offs. We'll be fine

It doesn't matter as Lampard doesn't like using subs anyway

Thats another excuse they use to cope, youre bang on!

The money I suspect was there, we were bidding on Woolfenden and Hughes. Come January we need to literally be ready to go on target a or b in positions x y z.
feels like Deja vu from last summer, fully understandable why fans are aggrieved we’re all onboard and I feel on the playing side I expected more I can’t lie

If we could play the same 11 we’d be top six no doubt, it’s a squad game and we don’t have it.
have a look at Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton, and the other top teams, the bench isn’t great, we’re right up there
