We won't miss the 0 goals and 0 assist from last season very much! We need more from him if he's going to play regularly.

Exactly, nothing will be said! Another approach is to an agree a short statement aong the lines of "talks are taking place and some progress is being made..." My impression is that the club might have been looking at Hughes, with Woolfenden, or one or the other but needed to raise funds. We...

Don't worry Chris it's good thing not be gullible! The way the transfer window plays in the press is all about advertising for them and the "facts" come second third and fourth. In any protracted negotiation that I've been involved there will be an agreement between sides about what to say, if...

Yes he's probably done the behind him thing with the knee already. Ouch!

I know there's a lot more to serious negotiations with millions of pounds at stake than that trivial nonsense. It's all click bait!

Not at all. Just paper gossip

Yes, it's still a while before the next accounts are due.

Yes but perhaps not if the total losses start becoming £25 or £30m over the 3 years all of a sudden. As you rightly said it's as much about the wages

Clearly the big value in his investment comes with promotion but the finances are so delicately balanced. The thing that persuaded him to sack Robins in the end was threat to the income streams of a relegation fight.

It's pretty clear they're running a budget for around 23-25 seniors registered players. That's still a smallish squad especially with the older/better u-21s out on loan. They'll also be paying player transfers over 3 years or so and big committments in the past couple of seasons will still be...

Around £5m seems to get you a solid champ player still in most positions, except top goal scorers. These kinds of players are never going to be turned around for big money though, so you can't be a "Brentford" doing that. The best we can really hope for on average is a return something close to...

I think it's a tough decision isn't it, although I agree that Thomas hasn't started too well. He is very strong in the air in the box and we have suffered when he's been missing in the past.

Maybe, maybe not, perhaps not all of them together, nobody knows the detail (but then you know that). It's quite likely that any business would have depended on somebody going too. What we do know is that Woolfenden had been on the radar for a long time (like most, if not all of our transfers in)

They will usually give a partial refund but only if you complain. I haven't had any issues with the audio feed (other than the mess at CWR!)

I thought we were a bit unlucky and we didn't have Haji fit. I think he's getting there now but probably still has more to come.

Whisper: they aren't real records, you need to do a deep dive! If we average 2 a game we'll be threatening Leeds total from last season. The record goals totals in the whole EFL haven't been matched since the 60s but you'd need 3 a game so we're on target ;)

I agree. That first season in the championship should tell us that three strikers is probably not enough in many seasons but then they're the most expensive elements of the squad in both cost and wages. We certainly can't afford to be carrying anyone.

I know! Especially the strikers.

He's going to have to or his career is knackered!

Simmo played 40 odd games last season too. That's an awful lot of time on the pitch just to write off, even if he doesn't score very often.
