I'm hoping that DK will see another couple of players will actually ensure the previous £40m of investment in players is value for money. Its not wasted in my opinion. The squad is just a little unbalanced and a little more tweaking will get it firing - and then the returns in player sales...

Pretty sure Musk called the guy who saved loads of kids stuck caving in Mexico a pedo…. Awful.

You hope its not happening. Could be the club see it as the “experience” we need on the cheap. Though I think DK would still think the wage is not a value for money investment.

True - but I do remember an overhead kick from Drinkall which was a great goal. (maybe his only one though!)

Really good.… thanks for pointing this out…

Just got back. Simms needs to play number 9. Simple as. Bassett and BTA flatter to deceive. When EMC and Wright are back you have 3 players for the LW and CF position which can rotate. We need a new RW. Kitching also needs to play.

To be honest the guy that got rid of the last set of owner has a lot of “brownie” points (excuse the pun!) / political capital to burn through before he may be questioned more. But if anyone has a billionaire investor mate, who’s morally satisfactory, can master FFP and wants to pump vast...

Don't get the DK hate - he never said he’d throw loads of his personal wealth at transfers did he? He cleared c£60m of debt. Funds our losses. Sold assets (Vic and Gus) re-invested pretty much all in new players (identified by recruitment and Robins) and spent money on the training ground...

I absolutely feel this. Reckon we’re going to lose a good player if true.

Its all about mentality and culture. Both Robins and currently Lampard (who's only been here 5 mins to be fair) seem to not be getting a tune out of players who are deemed talented - by our peers. Recruitment looks to have been good. But just not worked weirdly.

Yeah that's true. But with this we will invest in a number of players with the hope 2/3 go for big money and then we’re good again. Can't expect all transfers to work…

I think you're wrong in terms of saying we wont have another go after this. This is literally the model. Sell, invest, sell, invest etc….

Seriously though… if/when we do sell Haji we need to buy an American replacement. Fond memories of team with a yank in the squad. Roy Wegerle, Cobi Jones, Jack McBean (😬) … Alexi Lalas… oh wait.

All this bickering has got me thinking - we need an org chart of this forum. Ie. who's allies with who, who hates each other and who are the guys and girls at the top who effectively own the place?

We’ll have to agree to disagree! You can of course be very happy I'm not head of recruitment 😂

Moldovan needed more game time although we were spoilt for forwards at the time I recall so didn't. Little fox in the box type. Bellamy and Hughes were both wankers but talented players.

Genuinely thought all 3 were decent 😬

Zammo what a ledge

Everyone has their off days I suppose. I’d like to think my experience was merely him wanting to be left alone as he might be a little bit of an introvert:- Saw him, Peter Reid and Adrian Health in a bar in Brum during a night out. Went over to him to have a chat and he said he’d be back...

Oggy is our most iconic player I think in terms of football fans around the country. Best no chance.
