Gone a bit far with the Villa flag

Think he’s in commodities/rapeseed oil. SISU were a hedge fund and we were stuck with them for 15 years. I agree kings unlikely to be here long term but in the meantime he’s trying to run the club as sustainably as possible and the only way to do this is player trading

I reckon it’s come from king. Whether it was partly to prepare for the stadium purchase (which I guess would also involve external borrowings) or to cover losses, unsure

I wouldn’t be surprised if we go 5 at the back if grimes got injured

Yeah. Sheaf wasn’t in the first 11 and had injury problems over the past 18 months. MvE is still our best RB and plays every week. I could only imagine the meltdown if we’d sold MvE yesterday as well

Agree with all that. I bet we still turned down some offers for MvE though, either too low earlier in the window or too late to do anything.

and were moaning when we didn’t do a hull and throw loads of money at short term signings/loans in that January the same hull who are now apparently financially fucked

King obviously wants us as sustainable as possible in the meantime. Anything else is just gambling on promotion

I might well be wrong but I reckon they were trying to get someone else in right upto the deadline but knew it was unlikely and wanted the release news of a new signing to be positive ending to the day (so held back Woolfenden confirmation). In the end it just pissed everyone off

Exactly. It was only a couple of weeks ago when we didn’t own the stadium and some were shitting the bed expecting Rudoni to be sold to Southampton If someone had told me at the start of the summer that we’d have got £10m for Binks and sheaf, strengthened RB area and CB, got a keeper in to...

Yeah, I was talking about players coming through

We’ve got Obikwu, Andrews and Perry which is better than for a while. Also Dausch although playing at a lower level so guessing less likely to progress albeit he looked decent when he made his debut. Sometimes young players just need a run in the team to kick on which they’ll never do here if...

Then probably moaning that we didn’t buy him Will be interested to see how the young lads get on in league one. Shows we’re in a better place depth wise in short/medium (not immediate) term than people realise. Andrews was probably earmarked at that level as well before sheaf went. Are we a...

and we still ended up with Sean Maguire

A lot of deals seem to drag to today for various reasons, everyone waiting to see what they’ve got left before making decisions, agents holding out, prem clubs holding back on loans to see who they might need to keep etc. frustrating but is what it is sure if the sheaf offer had come in earlier...

I reckon one or two fell over today. Also sounds like sheaf was very last minute. Right call to sell still (for him and us). Will be interesting to see where a lot of the young prem lads have gone out on loan

Really good signing though. Chuffed with that.

P/T Apprentice by the looks of it

Thought it was that twat when I flicked over. Sky sports has totally lost it.

Don’t say it !!!
