Yes I'd question 2m for Lats. And I think Thomas would of been sold to a lower championship club for 500k All of a sudden the price goes up when it's Coventry calling.

Defensive. Wing back however???

Fair enough. I think we got Simms for a very good price (3.5m with add ons) there is value out there. It is the clubs money. And trusting the manager doesn't mean he's always right. We will however support his decision, but how many people on here (if they are honest) would of paid...

Again I'll ask, who's moaning??? Show me 1 post where I've moaned about needing our own players, just 1, expressing shock about a valuation is NOT moaning. How much did we pay for Latibeaudiere or Dasilva? When has MR ever paid £2m for a defender?

Was he ours or was he a loan? Did he cost us £2million? How many appearances has he made for the club who own him? 😉

No doubt, As they did with Kastaneer, Reid, Dacosta, Dinanger, Walker etc. Some you win, some you lose, but the more you invest in a player, the greater the risk. We've never payed so much for a player who's only ever appeared for 1 season in the third teir, so we simply have to get this...

Not a £2million gamble though.

I agree it's a big gamble, 2 million is a lot of money by our standard, especially as he's totally untested above league 1 . however, i'm happy he's here, and I trust that we've done our homework on him, it could prove to be a brilliant piece of business or a complete disaster, time will...

I hope your right, I've nothing against the lad and I hope he's brilliant for us. If its 2 million when we get promoted that would be far better. (Which it may well be)

They did, but they had a Premier league income where £2million is chicken feed, to us its a Kings ransom.

They are far better off than we are, having been in the Premier league recently, and having the parachute payments, where as we were in league 2 until quite recently. £2 million to them is a lot less of a dent to their budget than it is to ours.

Ironically the 2 examples you gave were excellent for us and played their part in getting us to the playoffs, and cost us nothing other than a loan fee. I'd say that was brilliant business. I doubt if we'd of been so good defensively with Rose and Hyam in a back 3.

Yet again I ask, who is whinging???? No ones whinging. people are expressing their shock at the (alleged) price for a lad who hasn't played above league 1. What in that is whinging???? No doubt these people will be cancelled and have their bank accounts closed next. This place is...

And that's exactly why they didn't cost 2 million.

Twitters full of them!

We'd done well enough without spending money on that level. Hamer, Sheaf, O'hare, Gyokeres etc. Don't get me wrong I'm delighted that we can spend big money (by our standards) but it's a hell of a lot for a kid who's only been tested In league 1.

When did MR last pay that for a player then? The o ly one I can think of is Simms, and he'd played at this level.

Careful, you'll get branded a hater 😉

Again, l expressed shock at the price, it's more than we got for Hyam who had proven himself at this level. I also trusted MR with all the signings that didn't make the grade, I could list them if your interested. I'm going to back the lad, and support him, and I hope he's the best thing...

Obviously! Looks like Stoke got a real bargain in Rose And Blackburn a steal in Hyam.
