He went on loan I think

Of course but we will have injuries, we recalled Bell from his loan last season remember just to cover one weekend!

We registered 23 senior players after the January window and we added Paterson later to make 24. Where are we now? From that list we've lost Binks, Sheaf, Burroughs, Collins and Tyler. We've gained Rushworth, KKH, Woolfenden, Brau so it looks like 22 rather than 23. I don't think any of the...

Expectations were unrealistically high. It became accepted that we'd bid £10m+ here another £5+ there and people believed that we had money to throw around on pretty mediocre players. If we've bid that we must have money etc. etc and without selling anyone! We lost £8m in the year of last...

Turf Moor ain't going to cut the mustard with anyone let's face it. At least they own their ground though! The likes of Palace are valued close to £1bn!

You're expected to use the loan system these days but fans don't like seeing young talent going to L2 or L1 or even Scotland! Just look at the reaction to Rapha but the lad needs to play every week at this stage.

I wasn't thinking of that because that's new. If you imagine that promotion and parachute money brings in well over £100m on its own, while we have players under collectively worth a good bit on the open transfer market, a club considered to be oin the up with a pretty big and loyal fan base in...

Yes. This is a big season for the club or we're into another rebuild I think with Rudi MVE and Haji probably all moving on

I think the club was valued at around £150m even before the stadium deal.

I think it's a mixture of managing the wage bill and getting the necessary playing time for the young players. King will sell at some point but I don't think it's in his immediate plans (unless he got a silly offer perhaps). The new players are still getting extended contracts for example.

I've been consistent throughout. I don't believe we "bid" for Rushworth either when we found out they wanted £5+m. Just watch programmes like shed and buried if you want to see how this kind of process works, it's just the same.

Were we though? One person's question "how much would it take to persuade you on xxx" suddenly becomes a firm offer on the gossip boards. I don't think they were anywhere close to smashing the club transfer record on an unproven CH. King just doesn't have that money to risk. His strategy hasn't...

I suspect they been caught out by a mixture of inflated fees and an uncompetitive wage structure. It's do or die this season for promotion or it will become ever harder to get there without a big cash injection. You can't do it just recycling the likes of Ben Sheaf (and that's saying nothing...

Got his fiingers burnt with Rushworth already this summer;)

If he'd f*cked us off we'd have heard by now

No news is good news.

He must have improved a lot on where he was this time last year. The players have all accepted him that much is clear so he has respect in the dressing room.

Neither is Andrews. Looks easy on the eye but he's not become a genuine threat yet

It sounded like we touted him to Wolves at £15m if that's to be believed

in 2027. That's why we got so much probably.
