No one has left so ‘unless there are no new outgoings’, we’ll be exactly where we left off! 😂

Wright’s valuation already started at £15 million - one of the top scorers in the league whilst missing 3 months of the season. We’d seriously have to be grade A mugs to even pick the phone and negotiate someone opening at a bid less than £15m.

You can tell a lot of fans haven’t really cottoned on to just how inflated transfer fees are for Championship players nowadays. A top end championship player is comfortably worth £15 million. An increasing amount of 2nd tier players do v well at Prem teams.

He is when fully fit, 100%. The only concern is his fitness.

Yeah, I’d just about back us to finish 4th with an unchanged squad. From Xmas we picked up the 3rd most points so why not? The squad isn’t complete, we need more out wide and AM imo. Even if they’re role players. Modest improvements to our defence and it drastically improves our PPG. So it’s...

We’ll go one better, 4th place.

Disagree that the Grimes signing ‘went against our transfer policy’. The club has tried to add loans and experienced players before we signed Grimes. This narrative has crept in because since Hamer and Vik went, we needed to rebuild the squad which naturally leads us signing younger players...

We’ve come along way since the weekly ‘your grounds too big for you’ chants. The stadium is not far off being a perfect fit. The demand is high at the minute because the club is moving in a good direction. Until we’re in the Prem and established there comfortably, there will be no talk of...

Simms is supposedly a terrible player but the alternatives mooted are Carlton Morris, Keiffer Moore and now Rhian Brewster.

If the deal isn’t worth up to £20m with add-ons and so on, we’ve wasted our time. His initial fee was £7.7m and with two good goal scoring seasons, he’s clearly one of the best strikers in the league. £10m is probably break even after considering his wages and if you sell Wright, the fee needs...

Lol £10m for Wright? 😂 The game is up, you’re on the wind up.

Certainly doesn’t justify the uptick in the 18-24 years claiming sickness benefit because of mental issues. A government handout doesn’t fix these issues, but more pertinently, the idea of a comprehensive welfare state only works if people are putting in more than they are taking out. 18-24...

Really liking the kit and the nod to 90s kit with the badge patterned in over the kit. It’s a nice retro-ish feel to some of the Hummel kits for us and other clubs and to be honest I’m all for it. The newer kits do not have a patch on the 90-00s kits!

We’ll surely be signing 1-2 wingers this window. Unless Rapha has turned a massive corner, we need 4 wingers to ensure there’s enough good quality depth on the bench to change games. Against Sunderland in the playoffs, we didn’t really have any attacking threats on the bench at AM/out wide.

We’ve come this far and are close to getting promoted, the funds will be made available. We may have partly finance other deals with outgoings (such as MVE) but by and large, the squad only needs a few players.

It’s a home kit though, let’s be honest! 😅 Good work nonetheless!

Don’t agree with the FAC shirt being classed as an away strip. You’d have to consider the playoff final top v Exeter too on that basis even though both are clearly ‘home’ strips.

Take it easy mate and hopefully things get better! Hopefully this forum or Cov in general don’t stress you out anymore than needed! The big movers in sickness benefit has been for mental health in the 18-24 age bracket. Which counters your overall narrative. Yes, there will be threads in that...

Ironically on this topic, one of my closest mates younger brother did a ‘biochemistry’ degree at a red brick uni and is now on a lower grade of pay than a nurse at a hospital.
