Think Gus will go. I personally think on his day he is the best midfielder in the Championship, and unfortunately, it will be very difficult to keep him. Need to get the best deal possible. Would love McNally back, don't know anything about Thomas.

I would say on form an upgrade on Moore who seemed to lose the plot after a great first season. We need continuous improvement in every position and his signing makes us stronger. Wilson's shirt to lose. Can he save pens?

Is Moore or Wilson going? There was a rumour Luton were after Wilson

Sad that Doyle went to Leicester. Be interesting if Simms plays on his side. Does anyone know Leicester's current back 4 or 5 because it may be Doyle may not get a game?

Virtually every manager in the Championship said he was the best player in the league. Hope he smashes it in Lisbon.

I am worried we are reaching the piss up in a brewery scenario

There is clearly a lot of negative bullshit being written on here. However, the players that go to Portugal need to bond and we need numbers through the door by then. If that does not happen, then I for one will start to worry. I accept loans may be delayed but, we need bodies ready to go, as...

Anybody who stirs up shit and doesn't qualify their statements is either a nob or knows fuck all

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...
