It's going to be interesting to see how they start. I know Ipswich went up to the Prem on their first attempt, but they started with a settled side. Brum will start with a team of strangers not knowing each others strengths. To be able to come in the top 2 you need at least a decent start. The...

It's difficult to say. From memory we spent the MVE and Gyokeres money. Since then we have signed Grimes and KKH for about 8m. We have this mysterious 15m. Was it to help cash flow so we can sign players without having to sell first? Could it be it is an investment to cover signings and give...

I haven't said he won't start. I have said I don't think he will hit the ground running like the vast majority of our signings haven't.

Argumentative? You said people are calling him crap. I asked you to quote them as haven't seen a single person say it. So are you being argumentative when you disagree with someone and state your reasoning why. Or even when someone makes a statement that isn't true and you point it out?

And they will all hit the ground running from game 1?

You're good at quoting people on here. How about quoting anyone who has called him crap or similar.

Novice? Other than Grimes how many players we have signed have had a slow start? We're not talking about novices here either. I'd prefer to be cautious with a new player and let them grow into their position instead of them not hit the ground running and call them shite before they have a...

Thanks for that It's a bit of a long story. When the Brexit vote happened I just knew it would be an out vote. I had always planned to retire to France when I reached 60. People thought i wanted Brexit even though it was the last thing I wanted. So my wife and youngest 3 children came to France...

Correct. You don’t have much of a valid point. I'll leave you to argue with yourself and revisit in a few months.

Can't see us letting him go for that low a figure. If finances allowed we would be much better off keeping him for another season. We would easily get the 6m in another year. And by then we could be in the Prem and have one less player to replace.

Finally, you get the point. I was replying to those expecting KKH to be excellent from the start.

With how things have gone since I'm glad they left when they did. But 2 years before they left i wanted them out as desperately as anyone else. There's some bad owners out there just watching their clubs disintegrate. We could have got another one ourselves.

I didn't call it a Rudoni problem. I mentioned even a player like Rudoni who finished the season as a beast didn't hit the road running. Players rarely do. So i don't expect KKH to do it either. But as he settles in i can see him being excellent for us.

So this 'they lost less games than us' when it was only by 1 is neither here nor there.

Yes it is me. I'll say it again for those who missed it before. During Covid my wife got seriously ill. As she was having treatment my youngest daughter then ended up with a serious illness. Being in England i couldn't visit for 14 months because of border restrictions on both sides. At the...

That's not the point being put across though. KKH was supposed to have a harder job looking better than the poor players they had. Now he is with us it will be much harder for him to take all the awards.

So why were they only 1 point from relegation and we were in the playoffs. Must be something to do with they only won 10 games all season and we won 20 games. They lost 16 we lost 17.

This is getting silly. Find someone else to put this rubbish across to them. Because whichever way you put it you have this part totally the wrong way around. A good player will always look better than poor players in the same squad. It's like trying to say our worst players look better because...

The loan can go both ways. Being the owners they owe the money to themselves.

So standing out in a poor team is harder than standing out in a good team? I absolutely hope I'm wrong. But name the last player we signed that played well from the start of the season.
