Absolutely spot on. Looks to me like Austin shit the bed again. Last year Stamenic, this year looks like we bet heavily on getting Hughes, and completely lost the plot with other areas that could be exposed if we let some of our squad players go out on loan or even be sold. I‘m happy enough...

I would be surprised if his new salary is not a good step up on what he earned here. Though from the POV of a professional it is a step down.

A mountain of yellow stained sheets propped up against a washing machine running 24/7?

I agree, I wouldn’t want him. Just saying his wages would make any deal unlikely. We need to look forward and not backwards, and therefore I wouldn’t want us spunking a load of cash on Hamer either, even though I absolutely loved him before.

Yeah, but I imagine his salary expectations now would be significantly higher, and probably at a point that would not work for us. Ie. We would never make him our highest earner, and if we did dressing room harmony could shatter.

Since Doug sacked saddle’s mate we know nothing. There is a big void and we’re all desperate for morsels. This guy has posted something he says comes from people connected with the club saying, and I paraphrase , don’t worry there WILL be some incomings before deadline day, Can’t give names...

Agree siphillips is a really good Chelsea source, but this does seem pretty strange. Can’t believe we could possibly afford him or pay his wages for a purchase, but as a loan If Chelsea pay most of his wages I could perhaps see it with an obligation to buy should we be promoted. But all seems...

What a day this turning out to be.

Signing the contract for this has to be the best signing we could possibly have done this window!! 😀

I wouldn’t be surprised if something still happens for around £8-10mill. £10mill in hulls pocket now could allow them to bring in multiple loans or free agents and have the money to pay them. This could ensure their survival more than just having Hughes. Also it should be in their mind what...

This is nonsense. Brexit is not the reason we have Afghans, Syrians, Eritrean and Somalis etc. making perilous journeys to Europe and seeking asylum. Perhaps, just perhaps more than one thing happens politically in the world at the same time. Just grasping here a little but I think war...

Got a year on his contract so there would be a decent fee to pay as well. On balance I think I would be happy with Brum taking on this liability rather than us.

I would imagine Blades will be paying through the nose for anything now. Everyone can smell their desperation. Robinson and Bindon on loan are their only CB’s. Propping up the table, possibility of loosing Gus, couldn’t happen to a nicer team and fan base.

Was that an assist by Thomas !!!

When we first heard about our bids for Hughes many of us thought a partnership of Hughes and Kitch would have been a definite step up. Ie. Thomas warming the bench, £8mill for someone we were hoping to be a backup CB is fantastic business for us. Let’s make the deal for Hughes and get a...

Really. MVE still here - do you know what deals have been put forward? I certainly don’t. A report saying we’d been offered £6-7 mill for him and we turned it down. Do you really think that is Doug fucking up the window? Is that all you think MVE is worth? Which deals have broken down...

Yeah I think we can do better than this but in fairness I think he played every championship game for them last season so he must still have a decent engine and be robust as far as injuries are concerned.

Simms currently on a goal a game…. 😀

Are you saying you thought Palmer made a real impact when he came on as sub? I thought he looked decidedly mediocre, and the only impact I saw was when he hit row Z when shooting at goal.

According to FotMob: 1.43 xg and 0.43 xga I take a lot of heart from our defense/GK in this game. Don’t forget we were leaking goals for fun last season. This will only get better if we improve our CB and CF options this window.
