Any journalist worth their weight in gold would surely be trying to liaise with their counterparts in Wolfsberg, or with those which are pushing out these tweets, to see if they can gleam any further information. It might not necessarily come to anything, as any information they have available...

It's not bitter ex revisionism, it's a valid observation. MVE isn't that great defensively. For the most part his positioning is poor and he often has lapses of concentration which has lead to multiple goals being conceded. However, comparative to the vast majority of his counterparts across...

No they aren't. Most of those who are spending are replacing what they've lost.

Even if they do get punished, I can't see it being a significant deduction and would likely be halved on appeal anyway.

It's a really strange strategy from Birmingham. They've done some nice business through bringing in Doyle, Cashin and Osayi-Samuel. But then with their 'marquee' signings, they've opted to target players whose careers are on a downward trajectory, yet will still demand high fees / wages. For a...

At this stage I really can't see another striker coming in unless the club receives a very good offer for one of the main three. We'll certainly bring in another CB and probably a versatile winger.

Really good squad, but a completely unproven manager who is going into a high-pressure job where results will be expected immediately.

Their revenue, whilst exceptionally high for a club or their size, will be swallowed by a likely massive wage bill. In Moore, Coady and O'Brien you're potentially looking at around £70-80k in wages per week alone at a very rough guess.

True, but still they've still basically lost all their top goalscorers who registered 10+ goals for the past two seasons - granted Sargent is still here for now but I'd imagine he's almost certainly off. That's a huge hole to fill.

Agreed. Vast majority of teams are just replacing what they've lost. Same applies to Norwich, who have probably had one of the better windows. They've sold Sainz, Rowe and soon to be Sargent in this window.

King Power are financing the club with loans from MSD Holdings, they don't have a pot to piss in. Regardless they'll still be able to offer lucrative wages. Especially now it's starting to look like they're beginning to move players on. Very much doubt they'll be signing anyone for...

Probably. Both Kitching and Thomas are highly uncomfortable at dealing with long balls.

It'll keep them up as it'll be effective at times and will inevitably get them points. Still, relying on a soon to be 33 year old Moore for a full season is ambitious.

They initially deployed a fairly sensible strategy but they've fallen back into old habits of overpaying for aging players. Big ask to rely on these players over a 46 game season.

Who has actually improved from teams that were in and around us last season other than Norwich and perhaps West Brom who have spent on a few. Of those that have come up Birmingham has spent heavily but question marks over whether it will actually come off. Wrexham will be midtable. Blackburn...

I really do expect there to be quite a lot of movement between now and the Hull game. There's so much noise being made with regards to both incomings and exits that makes me think things will probably begin falling into place soon enough. Transfer windows aren't linear, ideally we want all our...

He's not a weak link per say but his output fundamentally needs to be better. As a side looking to achieve promotion one of your starting forwards has to score more than 4 goals over a full season. It isn't good enough.

If Wrexham continue to invest at the rate they currently are I wouldn't be all that shocked if they did a Bournemouth potentially. They generate a huge amount of commercial revenue relative to their size but their squad needs a huge amount of investment so I don't imagine that would be for the...

Exactly I don't really understand why that's so baffling for people when there's obvious areas in the team that would benefit from significant investment. A fee generated from his sale could probably be put to better use than him staying or being loaned out. I also get the impression that he's...

I suspect even with Cardiff's relegation he wouldn't be cheap given he only joined in Jan on a four year deal for around £3/£4m.
