Only dip in and out in close season. I know some of you look at peoples predictions and if they are right. Is GIMOC for real or just another WUM. Anyone know if he has been right in the past? The City has seemed a tight ship information wise for a while and MR has been very complimentary about...

Think we will go full Bazball this season with one striker and a team full of midfielders like Lee Carsley with the U21s. Can't see many strikers to replace Vik we can afford. Simms looks possible but doubt we can afford him

A decent recruitment department should have a list of players that are achievable within our budget for each position particularly when or if Vik and Gus leave the building. Think it was Valencia who pioneered this brilliantly. Sell high, recruit low and not lose overall quality most of the...

Pretty sure read that it was part of the deal.

The club will have a ceiling on wages. The board and MR have said time and again that they won't go down the Derby route or put themselves in financial difficulty by gambling. FFP dictates what we can pay and income dictates the highest wages available. Wages will be allocated across the board...

OK, but it seems strange our top appearance player would go to Blues unless we want him off the wage bill. Thought the takeover had fallen through as they were not all they seemed, although I may be wrong (I often am). They do have all their falling down ground problems which restricts...

OK, forgot about them. I suppose like Panzo and McInally they were peripheral. There is that argument sunk. Would love to sign McInally on a permanent. Still strong rumours of Panzo going to Rangers, although I would welcome him back.

This year we will have a wage structure that is slightly higher than last year but not significantly higher unless Doug gambles with any money we receive for Vik. Doug and Robins have said this consistently and I don't think it is a ploy to get players to sign lower contracts. Appears even Kelly...

Coventry and Luton last year? Both had restrictive budgets. Management and team spirit equally as important or the three clubs who came down last year would have gone straight back. The difference was Burnley had good management

Don't know how accurate it was on another thread. Said Bidwell was on 10k per week as our highest paid player. Makes sense coming from Swansea who were desperate to reduce their wage bill (as were Bristol). Walker and Waghorn around £7.8 k with Palmer up near the top. Again, sounds reasonable...

Panzo would surely have had a wages increase clause in his contract when Forest were promoted, likewise McInally. I feel the two players will be on Premier League wages which might make matters difficult in trying to secure permanent deals. Loans are different as we only pay a % of the wages...

We should be looking at players like Yates but, at a reasonable price. Blackpool are living in wonga wonga land with the price they are quoting. He is 1.5 million at a push and that is looking on the favourable side. Sure he could sign for Stoke and score 20 goals and be worth a mint but I would...

20 million no way 2 million if we are lucky

Yates looks good but overpriced. If Vik and Hamer were 1k as reported, we need to look elsewhere

Championship is a different ball game. JCH was poor in the Championship with Peterborough. Chaplin may be ok next year but no guarantee. Both left because they were not good enough for what we needed at the time. Dabo and Rose were outstanding in L1. Not so good in the higher league. How many of...

Or Peterborough

Don't think we will have as much to spend as people think. What will be crucial will be the Prem loans. They did wonders for Forest when they went up, Sunderland last year and Stoke when they played us at the CBS. The way we have developed players this year puts us in a good position. Doyle was...

I remember Bobby Gould asking the players bout a left back we could afford and we got Stuart Pearce. Also someone asked the players who was the most difficult centre forward they had faced and we got Robert Rosario (who turned out to be a better midfielder). Bleedin obvious but surely our...

Don't think Forest will want to keep him with their recent expenditure to stay up. However, I think they will want their money back which was reported as £1.25 million with probably high wages. Think Adi has wanted him for some time but Panzo is still to fulfill his early potential. We chased...

Don't think he is a sugar daddy with loads of cash but apart from penalty shootout he looks to be lucky (see Napoleon plagiarised by Graham Taylor). We need stability and the leeway to allow the management team to work their magic. The further up the football tree we get the harder it is to...
