We won't get Maatsen so it is all hypothetical.. but if he was available at a cut price I think SISU would find the cash. They are trying to run the club within its means so the club is cash short with assets ties up in key players. That said they are an investment fund and would act on...

Blimey wouldn't have thought he'd have the temperament for that job

Take that with a ladle of salt. Robins never show his hand, we are short on funds no doubt but he isnt going to say anything other than the absolute minimum to abate the mad fans. we clearly have funds put aside for decent wages or we wouldn't have chased JCS.

Yeah but don't you have the feeling that is probably bollocks. Yeah the "ITK" have said funds will be tight but how much of the inner financing plans can the they really know. SISU are a hedge fund they need to keep the buy lower than you sell model churning, there will definitely be re...

oof poor bloke

but thats how it works, we cant reinvest the entire sum on new players. we have overheads to cover.. facilities, maintenance, staff and player wages. all this needs to come from somewhere. That said Sisu aren't dumb, they will reinvest a percentage to keep the process ticking over. Sibley...

One way of looking at it ... but id say we just have a value in mind for each player. nobody wants to match that for Hamer currently then we are not duty bound to sell cheap. more bids will come as the window goes on. its same for O'Hare and Gyok. Im not deluded like some on here and realize we...

I'll be gutted when wel lose O'Hare but if that sort of career opportunity comes he'd be mad not to take it. Just refreshing that we aren't bent over a barrel in the fee negotiations for once

Was hoping it would be a grower or look better on the pitch but coming to the conclusion the home shirt isn't for me this year. Glad I'm in the minority and it looks to be selling well. Love the away and gk shirts though

Well if we were seriously in the market to pay those kinds of wages then we'll be fine. If they thought they had him I'd rather they take their time to find the right alternative

Why are people losing their nuts already? It's clear that funds to pay the wages of a decent defender are available as we were setting up to get in JCS. As far as I can tell we were close to a deal but got gazumped last minute. And that was more to do with geography than finance. He'd have...

Won a competition run by Midlands Bank to design a Minibus for my school (paint job on a transit) I got £50 in a new bank account, which through nothing but lazyness I still use today (now HSBC) Came second in a PES 5 competition held in the now defunct Gamestation shop. Got a copy of the game...

Does anyone know if he was repeatedly injured? I know he was when he went back to Bristol from us. But I thought it's been more a case of him getting unlucky with managers moving on shortly after he arrives and their replacemens not fancying him?

Yep my thinking exactly. Would be a gamble but I feel like pretty much any signing we make will be at our level. When fit we know he is good and if O'Hare, Dabo and Godden made the step up he would have also. Needed game time and a system that suited him so hard to judge where he is at now.

Fuck it, I'll say it... i'd have Walsh back in a heartbeat (depending on terms) I know he hasn't set the world alight since his loan but he was the standout player in our promotion season, especially the second half. Id back our coaching team to get a tune out of him again.

They will replace, let's not forget the owners are a hedge fund. The whole point is to make money. In business if you make a big profit from a sale a part of that get used to invest and go again. Even if that means spending money on 2/3 new midfielders wages (Palmer for one) the rest will go...

Ther is no way back for SISU in a lot of fans minds after the the utter shitshow of the stadium wrangles and move to Brum.... But... To be fair to the owners since the return to the CBS there seems like an attitude change. Far better comms with the fans, they have been investing in...

We are a week in to the window, chill out. Despite what some say the owners have backed the manager constantly over the last few summers. Regardless of what you think of the players signed we have splashed cash on relatively large fees for Chaplin, Godden, Walker, Sheaf, Hammer and Gyok. Now...

People need to be realistic, most important thing is the club not overstretching itself. We've already tried that and it ended in tears. The owners clearly invest in players when they can. As mentioned above we haven't made a significant sale in a while so can't go spending what we haven't got...

Yep agreed, if Bale joins Cardiff it will be to keep him ticking over in the run up to the world cup. Might pay off but feels like he'll be super cautious not to get injuries and as mentioned above I can't see the motivation to be there in January when the season resumes
