Can't do much if the money isn't there though. One of Lampard's short term objectives when being brought in would've been to get the most out of the existing squad. That was never not going to be the case given that apparently we have a 'top 6 deck'. DK also isn't going to accept penny on the...

Sell-on from Gyokeres.

In all fairness we need to try to look at recouping fees paid for certain players to give us the best chance of going again in the summer window straight off the bat and the January window gives the club a unique opportunity to do that. Gyokeres, MVE, Wright, Sheaf etc. won't be moved on...

It is starting to feel like the goal for this window is to try to line up exits rather than prioritise incomings to put us in a better stead for the summer.

Can't really count Sheaf as he didn't come in with the Gyokeres / Hamer money. But through moving on Wright and MVE you'd certainly think the club would recoup at least half of the £42m total.

The infrastructure under SISU was non-existent and the prospect of us competing in the Championship was pretty much built upon Robins / Adi performing minor miracles season after season. As an operation it was completely unsustainable and when (not if) we would've been relegated to L1 I very...

Both will be on very small contracts comparative to the rest of the squad and only have 6 months left on their existing deals. If it was genuinely a problem the club would just begin the process of 'mutually terminating' their contracts and agree exit packages if it was looking very unlikely of...

The club isn't going to be unregistering players to make room for further additions to be brought in. It's a ridiculous argument frankly. The pot has probably run dry by now. It's quite clear exits need to happen for players to come in.

The club are quite clearly looking at recouping what it can from recent transfers that just haven't worked. Lati is certainly one of those. The fact we paid around £500k compensation for him and we're potentially getting around £2m in return is fantastic business to be honest. I suspect behind...

He's probably on a high wage and there's huge question marks over what purpose he actually serves or what value he brings. If we could get a buyer for him I'd certainly look to move him on and reinvest into more pressing areas.

Think we had to pay Swansea compensation. But we'll still be in profit.

Any idea of the team which is looking at bringing him in?

Also for a 6 month loan where you're not really going to be challenging for promotion or fighting relegation where would you rather play - London or Coventry.

Unless it's a loan to buy.

I think half the Championship will be thinking the same thing, depending on which end of the table they're sitting. Ultimately, this recruitment team doesn't deserve a second chance and I'm approaching this window with a huge amount of scepticism but as others have mentioned Lampard isn't...

I don't really get why people are panicking when this is genuinely what most of us wanted and identified as a priority. We need to revamp the defence as it's nowhere near good enough and hasn't really improved under Lampard. That being said it's crucial we get it right this time and bring in...

It's probably a bit of both to be honest. In terms of I suspect Lampard and his staff have probably had some tough conversations with certain players over the past weeks and has identified those which either aren't good enough or just aren't the right fit to move on. But also there will...

Would be surprised if King sanctioned a cut price deal for Kitching. You'd think he'd look to recoup the majority of what was initially paid.

Sorry i missed this when i uploaded my post. Makes sense. To be honest if that's the case good riddance as they're completely spineless anyway.

As bad as they collectively all are it seems a strange one at this stage of the season to be orchestrating a mass exodus. I presume a lot of it is agent talk from players looking to jump ship.
