    Transfer targets

    Let’s get it in perspective. He’s an excellent player. He’s so far scored decent amounts of goals in the Championship and in the top division in Portugal. If someone spends something north of £50m in him they’ve been had.

    Here we go. Wright, Simms, O’Hare. Like the look of that line up.

    Transfer targets

    Gyokeres was worth about 10-12m still is. Hamer probably 12m. I reckon King got about 10m more than he should have.

    I’m with Shmmeee here. Whatever was publicised I just have a gut feeling not much cash changed hands between Doug and Joy.

    Gyokeres Deal Details

    Watching us lose a shoot out at Wembley was painful. But I’ve stood on the Spion Kop watching us lose in the Simod Cup to Ipswich in -5 degrees with Lloyd McGrath breaking his leg and it started to rain. It was still a good day at Wembley however it finished!

    A £3.5m punt!! Glorious. I remember when we were signing Peter Ramage.

    Gyokeres Deal Details

    Crikey, I enjoyed Gyokeres’s time here as much as anyone but he’s never a top level prem striker.

    Transfer targets

    King got £35m for Gyokeres and Hamer so I’ve got no worries about his negotiating skills. The only summer signing that’s underperformed for me is Simms and he’s not had much time. Clubs like us really can’t spend as much as we bring in. That’s how we survive. If we spend £5m in Jan I’ll be more...

    How many Brazilians can you name that have played for us?

    Who takes the next penalty?

    Go to your best technical player. Sheaf

    First 3 names on teamsheet

    Sheaf, Wright, Kitching.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    One of the big upgrades is having our own players. Norton-Cuffy, Wilson-Esbrand, McNally, Doyle, Panzo. Some good quality but your always rebuilding when you have a lot of loans.

    We simply have to climb the table at some point

    I think we’ll go on a bit of a run in the next few games. Back 4 starting to settle. Robins will string Allen/Eccles/Sheaf across the midfield and put O’Hare in behind Simms and Wright. I fancy us to win a fair % of the games pre and over Xmas.

    How will it end?

    The smart money is on planet earth being absorbed by the sun and incinerated in nano seconds in an apocalyptic super event which will see only Peter Billing and Ray Woods survive.

    How much dosh?

    Championship wise we’ve tried the journeyman manager route. Remember Coleman, Dowie, Boothroyd etc etc. None a patch on Robins

    Hamer back?

    Don’t think it will happen but I’d welcome him with open arms.

    How much dosh?

    I’d say 6-7 million. We only need a net increase of one midfielder. And I’d go for a prem cf on loan using Ayari’s wages who is send back.

    Time to part ways…

    He hasn’t spent anything. He’s sat on £15m. That aside I’d say of the big cash outlays if you sold in Jan you’d be looking at a profit on Thomas, Kitching, Lats, Sakamoto and Collins. Accept the jury being out on Wright and Simms but from Kings point of view I’d say he’s in a good place.
