He was one of many really average players that were signed to be the next big thing, he like others were never at the level required and poorly scouted, however, I hope he goes and settles and makes a positive impact on a first 11

Barnsley fans think we have paid a really good price form their perspective. https://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/barnsley-rejected-bid-for-kitching.324147/page-20

We could revert to the box but also need to consider that we don't currently have one of the best forwards I have seen playing that role in our squad anymore. As @Hobo said we have a couple of younger players on the fringes and Robins is clearly thinking they can step up and I hope he is right...

More than a forward? Seems Robbins is going with 2 up top this season and we have 3 experienced forwards one of which has a very poor injury record?

40m I think. Chelsea are largely incoherent with their transfers.

I get some of the long term investments are not coming off but why not a loan? We are lacking options in the forward area. 3 forwards if we play two up top are not enough.

Agree the market has been distorted by Chelsea some of the Saudi Pro league deals and a few other clubs who have gone slightly crazy this summer. I dont think we received 'crazy' sums for our players and just got fair value for their talents and I hope we keep a sober head in our spending as...

Very reasonable post and agree. In terms of the 30m though is that not slightly under estimating the revenue we have generated this summer? Vik 20 and Hamer 15 alone are more than 30 and that is before you factor in Wembley and the extra season tickets. I know some funds will have gone on...

If this is a 5 year plan from Doug and this guy is the real deal, I don't see the harm in doing the season loan back derby are stipulating and then getting in a loan ourselves to cover the gap, knowing we have a very good player arriving on a permanent transfer in the summer. Agree Jan would be...

Can we view highlights anywhere?

I agree with that looking at the scope and responsibility of the role. People seem convinced it will be in the 60-70k bracket which seems ludicrous.

I agree, with the level of accountability, the fact that the hours will be extremely irregular and notwithstanding the fact that the successful candidate will be in the public eye and not least open to extreme scrutiny by the experts on here! Anything around the 60k mark might put talented...

What would you guess it pays? 90k?

Looking at the job specification is very wide ranging with a huge amount of compliance tasks that need to be completed. I wonder how many people Boddy has reporting into him and how much he can delegate or has to do himself? If he has to do everything it might explain why he has become less and...

Wonder what the salary is?

Sligtly kinky phraseology and isnt Styles Hungarian? 😆

1. A marquee Hamer replacement 2. Forward who ideally is able to hold the ball up and bring others into play. 3. LCB Save the rest until Jan just in case COHs return does not go as planned or we get an injury to an established player.

Agree from what I have seen he concerns me more than simms. He clearly has some areas of his game that are decent but first touch and a few others seem lacking and some way off what you would expect for 8m. However, we need to allow the manager and coaching staff to develop him and I think it...

I agree for now but I think as the season goes on that trust might come?

Me and my partner saying exactly this on the way home.
