Do we know they’re foreign and weren’t just some of the players still on holiday? After all, that’s why we can’t sign anyone.

All of them. Even the ones signing for other clubs. Pure coincidence Tyler Roberts was on holiday in Birmingham.

My thoughts exactly!

Tyler Roberts to Blues, I’m sure we were linked with him a few windows back.

Should clarify, by ‘we’ I meant the club. And appreciate there’s been nothing direct but the actions (or lack of) say enough.

The point, I believe, being they were individually cheap signings. Little up-front fee and probably relatively (in Champ terms) low wages. The kicker was the length of contract. On the flip side, Hamer cost over £1m and would have probably been on a decent wage straight away, in line with the...

Leaving the pathway clear to bring in Ola Aina. Cheers Fulham.

Don’t really follow this. Prem sides head to USA, Australia, China, etc. Absolutely packed with fans and far more recognisable. Yet we’re poo-poo’ing the idea of a few Cov fans fancying the trip. If I hadn’t already booked my summer holiday I’d definitely be up for going over, watch the City and...

Had noticed him before when hunting through the Dutch league for options. Looks decent.

That’s about how I see it. If we were soaking up pressure then he’s got the technical quality to play early passes in behind the opposition back line. Would I start him there in a World Cup semi final? Would I fuck.

And what did you go for?

The England band.

Separate point: when was the last time we struggled against one of the supposed lesser nations in qualifying?

Feels like a waste of time.

Wouldn’t get knickers in a twist over it, it’s all part of the game.

Now seems to have surfaced that the PIF is also an investor in Clearlake Capital, majority owner of Chelsea. Surely can’t be allowed?

Then you know your comment that “they aren’t in the market for large signings” (in the context of signing Vik) is nonsense.

It’s a fair point. The club, however, need to now ensure that they can sell sufficient boxes to justify the rise. It’s a huge price-point black hole they’ve opened up though. I’d imagine they would want to sell about 80% of available boxes on a full-season basis, which gives them enough room to...

You’re not quite understanding how FFP judges these things. Wolves sell Neves = £47m income declared in that financial year. Buy Gyokeres for £20m and stick him on a 4 year deal = £5m expenditure in that financial year. Net £42m profit. Can’t imagine they wouldn’t be able to do that.

Anyone thinking a day 1 declaration might have been a mistake?
