    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    The goals will come for Wright. What impressed me was his work rate. He regularly filled back in and tracked back. When he gets the ball he rarely wastes it which keeps us ticking. Just need him to hit the net more regularly.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    Systems. Largely irrelevant. Bidwell is in better form than DaSilva. Collins than Wilson. Kitching has settled. Allen and O’Hare back to fitness. Hence improvement.

    Tempo

    The tempo stays high as none of Allen, Sheaf, Sakamoto or O’Hare give the ball away much allowing tempo to be generated.

    He’s never scored a goal at the top level. Portugals league is a good standard but not elite.

    Half way through....

    And then have a huge rebuild every 12 months. Forgot about Binks.

    Half way through....

    Big plus in this squad is just one loan. You can’t build with loans…….or sell them.

    Agree Allen man of the match. There was a world class save from Collins towards the end as well watching it back on tv. Van Ewijk’s pace is a real asset. Wrights work rate was top notch. By far the most encouraging display of the season all round.

    I’d say 7’s all round apart from Allen, Wright, Sakamoto, Van Ewijk and O’Hare 8. For Brum 9 for Ruddy which says a lot.

    Keep it to yourselves but we have some team here. Some obvious performances but less in your face stuff 1) Jamie Allen - everywhere. 2) Wright’s work rate shutting down the space his side and never a wasted touch. 3) Sheaf - as always. 4) Van Ewijk - pace, distribution, set piece, defence. 5)...

    Good half. We’re light years ahead of Brum. Van Ewijk, Kitching, Saka and Wright excellent so far.

    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.

    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...
