Don’t know anything about Hughes in reality but trust in Lampard / King / team to have done the due diligence if they’re spending that much. Doesn’t indicate anything about Kitching or Thomas for me. Just means we’d have 3 starting CB’s rather than 2 which is critical.
6.5 M plus possible add ins is bang on. It’s a healthy profit. Unfortunately, being popular and engaging with the crowd at the end doesn’t add any value. Defensively he was just above average. KKH is a better player.
6-8m is what MVE is worth. We’ve probably got lower end as teams have seen we’ve bought KKH. So we need another RB now. If, as seems to be the steer on here, they don’t fetch much it shouldn’t be an issue.
But you’re never going to carry a squad with Wright, BTA, Simms and Bassette for one role. Offload Bassette and Simms then maybe. Otherwise we go as we are.
BTA is aware. I take you back to the final game of the season. Wright completely fails to play BTA in. Next play BTA wins on the half way line and puts Rudoni in for the comfort goal
He’s not changed his mind. He’s just floated this stadium nonsense as it’s the only sliver of a bargaining chip he has. We’ve just got to hope Frasers offer something reasonable.
No idea how much he wants to put it up to if he does at all. Currently we pay around £1.5m which is not a lot. My point is even if he puts it up to £2m that’s the deal we should be pursuing rather than ownership.
