Just as we thought the same about Gyokeres and Hamer. Pragmatically, we accepted we were likely to lose them and wanted to extract the most value for the pair.

Wright was £7.7m. It’s good to see we’ve invested so much this window, overall I’d say it’s a 8/10 window. In terms of improving the squad in the long term, we’d be looking at: - 1 CB - 1 RWB - 1-2 CMs - 1 striker Bearing in mind we lost Hamer and Gyokeres in the same window, that’s an...

Until Jan

Agreed, which is why I think all the promoted teams will get relegated this season. I back Dyche to keep Everton up (somehow) over Burnley. I do think had we got promoted and kept Hamer & Gyokeres, we may have been able to build a really good team around them to have a fighting chance...

Is there still a loan window outside of the transfer window? I’m sure it was scrapped but I’m not 100% sure.

I don't think we'd have coped with Maguire or Walker upfront...

It's not a choice in the way you present it. We have a target in mind and a maximum value we're willing to pay. Clearly Kitching is someone the club has identified as being a good fit for the club and believe will be worth more than what we're willing pay for him. If that figure is £5m, but...

We’re not keeping a back 5 because of McFadz… The box did us fine last season and the squad is overall in a better place. We currently lack the star quality, particularly in midfield.

Us getting €24 million for Gyokeres and £15m for Hamer in the last year of their contract probably distorted the market a little bit too. Patience is key here. If we have to use the loan market as a stop gap, so be it.

I wasn’t bothered when Gyokeres left because I’d accepted he was going to leave. Football get sour grapes, ‘he’s not that good anyway’ over players all the time. He’s 23, if Robins & co believe he’s a future premier league player, overpaying slightly is not the end of the world. I remember...

With all due respect to just about everyone on here… what do we know about footballers we’ve barely seen play? I include myself in that - never heard of Brekalo and seen Kitching play one game last season. Most of our opinions are subjective and frankly, we’re amateurs. Compare that with our...

This tweeter has 8 followers… what credibility does he have? Not taking it as gospel, but if his agent is following CCFC on instagram, that’s something…

Ayari played in the 10 role for 30m. I’m sure he will be play games deeper as the season progresses. Allen and Hamer both had stints at AM and CM as and when required.

Trust the process. If Robins is chilled out about the situation, it's usually a good sign.

Is that the international break?

The transfer fees aren't the only thing needed to operate a football team. We've presumably increased our payroll considerably and we were a loss making business before he took over. Besides, there's nothing wrong banking the money and either reinvesting in Jan and/or next summer. The journey...

Godden had an open goal… I’m sure even Godden would have the accountability to admit he should’ve buried that 9 times out of 10. Wright’s chance wasn’t an ‘easy’, he should’ve scored and lacked that finesse.

Exactly. Remember thinking against Reading (and Birmingham) at home that he'd knocked a few million off of his value. He scored a pen in both those games and genuinely could've had 5 or 6 from open play in those games. People just need to relax and trust the process.

Exactly, people pointing the finger at the striker are missing the root cause. We haven’t been creating that many clear cut chance. With the exception of Leicester away where we created many chances but did not take them.

We were the most direct team in the league last season…
