If we’re signing another CB, surely it’s got to be someone with a bit more experience. To step in for Fadz longer term. Lati, Thomas and Binks are all quite young. If we sign a third choice striker permanently then surely that’s it for Godden? I’d be surprised if we don’t strengthen the...

Decent coach, but will that translate into management? My prediction is a draw, but can see us giving Leicester a bloody nose. Welcome back to the Championship…

He did, but the game was v forgettable to be fair.

Nope. Robins will use the ‘interact with board’ option to secure more transfer funds…

Agree on the overall sentiment with Fadz. But we don’t play 3 CBs because of him. It’s a system that MR and Adi like and will stick with it for the foreseeable. Our formation offers balance and suits the way we’re trying to play - dynamic, direct, quick transitional counter attacking football...

Presumably Dragus was being brought in as a 3rd choice? Which may explain why he wasn’t keen on a move.

Judging from @Saddlebrains comments on the Dragus thread… it seems like we’re after another striker permanently. Correct me if misquoting you Saddlebrains, but did your source say something like ‘you should see who we’re after’ shortly before Wright news broke. Which suggests to me we were...

I thought this was dead in the water… Surely we would have signed him by now if we were interested. Permanent deal, I’d be up for it but a loan seems like a half measure.

I agree, he’s going to start the season because he is a great leader. It’s a long season, and you’ve got to question whether he can maintain that level of performance - or fitness even - for 50+ games this season. There’s got to be a plan, and I suspect we’ll sign a more experienced CB to play...

Loving the optimism. My prediction is between 28-33. It depends on how well we do as a side. From the Exeter game, we played quick, direct football and think Simms and Wright will suit that. Hoping Van Ewijk and Bidwell get plenty of assists from WB now we have two big strikers.

That got me for second. Well played! 👏🏻

We’ve got to pay for these £7.7m players somehow…

The same could be said if we spent that money on just about any player. Do we trust MR and his recruitment team to make an inform decision? Yes. Most people, including myself, aren’t making informed opinions on this player. I’ve only seen Wright play at the World Cup and he looked handy. He...

Yes. In terms of AMs, we only have Palmer and Sakamoto available. Starting Godden ahead of two big money signings is just ridiculous if Simms and Wright are match fit and ready to go.

Wright has a 1 in 2 strike rate in the Turkish league which was better than Simms’ strike record in the Championship. Two strikers with a good strike rate is what are fans have been craving for - well, until it’s a player they know nothing about. How could you not be excited at the prospect of...

I never said Gyokeres was shit nor Robins gets everything right. That’s just a silly thing to say. You’ve spoken vaguely about Wright not being a ‘finished article’ and being quite ‘clumsy and very raw’ - the same was true for Gyokeres. My point of comparison is that if we can get as much as...

That or more likely tying up our players on longer contracts so we don’t end up in a situation like we were with Hamer and Gyokeres.

Robbings out. Imagine spending £7.7m on a Yank striker from a farmer’s league to miss out on a player PNE sign. #SHFWF

That’s the idea when you sign players on large fees… You’re judging a player on YouTube clips and FIFA ratings. Is there any data driving your opinion or are you complaining for the sake of it? Where’s your optimism man?! 6 months ago I could not fathom the thought of paying €9m for a player...

The difference between Gyokeres and Wright last season was 1 overall. So by the same logic Wright must be close to Gyokeres… … Or we can stop using silly FIFA comparisons.
