This is what people forget. Real life isn't the same as your Football Manager game where you make the contract offer and they say yes straight away. Things are constantly evolving, other clubs come in and drop out of talks, agents ask for an extra year here, or another bonus there. It takes time.

I don't think Shankland really fits our style. From what I've seen, he's a poacher and not much else. Great finisher, but does he run the channels, hold the ball up, hassle defenders and do everything Robins wants from the striker in our system? I'm not sure.

They did indeed. Paid half of his wages.

I feel like last season it finally clicked in Baka that he's not some Thierry Henry type striker that can do it all. He stopped trying to run thirty yards with the ball from midfield, and focused more on using his height in the air, chasing down defenders, and keeping it simple. If he can keep...

Didn't Tom literally work in the CCFC media team? I'm sure he has more ins at the club than 99% of us bellends.

Hopefully this gets announced today. Fiending for a transfer like a hobo off the crack.

Happy we got a fee for him. Decent player but down the pecking order with more players still coming in. The writing was on the wall.

Sounds like a contingency plan to me. And you don't pass up the chance to sign a player who could start in your midfield for the next 3-5 years.

I'd be delighted with this. Like Hamer, he's one of those players we could flip for millions if he performs well.

What happened with his ex?

At 31s, is that Giles and Baka sprinting? Yes I'm ignoring the fact that Kelly beats O'Hare.

Apparently he moved from CDM to the right side of a back 3 last season, so would know how to play in our defence. And judging by those PSG highlights he DEFINITELY has the pace and power some have been asking for.

It's mostly inheritance/gifts from grandparents and a little bit of money I've scrimped together. But it's not enough to make this an easy process sadly.

Trust me, I've seen so many newbuilds in other parts of the country where we could afford something great that it hurts.

Looking at buying my first house next year. Currently renting and our contract runs out in April...9 days after the stamp duty reduction ends. Cheers. But fuck me is this all intimidating. Our budget is £345k max and trying to find a house me and the gf like, that you could raise a family in...

Completely agree that we need more pace going forward. Only player vs Rangers who looked like he could beat his man in a race was Giles. It was obvious vs Birmingham last season that we didn't have much pace in attack, that hasn't changed. And we're going to have to play more on the counter...

I've got a friend who works at Reach in a regional sport role so I know it's been hit real bad by COVID. Hopefully, your position is safe Tom. 🤞

I know they sold a player and said that the fee for him will PAY players wages up until the end of July. That was Jensen Weir. A £2m bid from QPR has also been accepted for Kieffer Moore.

The 24 Championship clubs will meet on Thursday to discuss proposals for an £18m salary cap that could be introduced as early as next season. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/12034283/championship-clubs-to-meet-over-salary-cap-proposal

Ravel Morrison anyone?
