Porteous would be a good shout, but isn’t he going to Udinese/Watford

Wasn’t Hyam initially in and out of the league two side? I thought Rod McDonald and Willis was the initial paring and then he favoured Willis and Davies until the final when Davies was suspended?

Considering Twine was what 4m? Who do you want for 400k also considering Brexit rules make it notoriously difficult to sign foreign players - which top league in Europe are we getting a championship standard AM for 400k?

You keep mentioning the Hyam sale. Circumstances have changed. Adebayo was knocking around League two not pulling up any trees on loan the time we signed Godden. Lot of hindsight going on here. we need someone who’s gonna come in and do something for us now. 400k is obviously something Robins...

We paid 750k for an out of favour 3rd choice striker with no resale value whilst in league one. That didn’t go too badly

They don’t need to get into everyone’s best 11. It’s the same for a lot of the other teams. West Brom currently inform but Dike doesn’t get into our side the difference is the other teams have championship quality to bring on and rotate - that’s why we’re mid table

I think our best 11 is up there with the best in the division. Unfortunately it’s a squad game and as we saw last week - the rest of the squad is barely non league

It’s a nominal fee for most championship clubs which we are, we have a new owner which gives us what robins said stability. the fee appears to be 250k up front with add ons. At this level that is the going rate for players like Paterson

Considering Godden cost 750k and Conor Chaplin cost 500k it’s a good bit of business for a proven championship player

Chaplin, Godden, Kane, and the last season in the championship we spent 500k on Cody Mac Donald - the fees in the championship have inflated massively since them

By all accounts it’s 250k - I’m assuming he has to perform for them to receive the rest. it’s really a small figure considering we’re in the championship.

We need someone who’s gonna perform now, not take 12 months. It’s a small fee. We paid more for Godden and Chaplin in league one

Maybe we’ve got a a couple of million to spend? Then 400k doesn’t seem that bad

in theory our financial position has just improved. Possibly King dipping his hands in his pockets

Did we actually make Paterson an offer? We were interested in him but do we know if an offer was made?

It is extremely difficult - hence why the conviction rate is so low. But it doesn’t mean you lower the burden of proof just to get convictions - that’s a slippery slope. it also doesn’t stop the CPS and the police being inept at case building. what worries me is that they’ll reverse the burden...

Where’s this being said?

Actual false accusations are minuscule in the grand scheme of things. They do happen yes - but people mix not guilty as a false allegation They can’t lower the burden of proof but there needs to be more investment in the CPS/Police in how these allegations are dealt with

Hence why I said until a guilty verdict is given

It’s guesswork based on what we know. Kane is a player who has spent his whole career in the top 2 divisions. its a reasonable assumption that high paying London club QPR were paying a significant wage - when we came in it was hardly likely he’s going to drop a significant portion of that. So...
