It's not a choice in the way you present it. We have a target in mind and a maximum value we're willing to pay. Clearly Kitching is someone the club has identified as being a good fit for the club and believe will be worth more than what we're willing pay for him. If that figure is £5m, but...

We’re not keeping a back 5 because of McFadz… The box did us fine last season and the squad is overall in a better place. We currently lack the star quality, particularly in midfield.

Us getting €24 million for Gyokeres and £15m for Hamer in the last year of their contract probably distorted the market a little bit too. Patience is key here. If we have to use the loan market as a stop gap, so be it.

I wasn’t bothered when Gyokeres left because I’d accepted he was going to leave. Football get sour grapes, ‘he’s not that good anyway’ over players all the time. He’s 23, if Robins & co believe he’s a future premier league player, overpaying slightly is not the end of the world. I remember...

With all due respect to just about everyone on here… what do we know about footballers we’ve barely seen play? I include myself in that - never heard of Brekalo and seen Kitching play one game last season. Most of our opinions are subjective and frankly, we’re amateurs. Compare that with our...

This tweeter has 8 followers… what credibility does he have? Not taking it as gospel, but if his agent is following CCFC on instagram, that’s something…

Ayari played in the 10 role for 30m. I’m sure he will be play games deeper as the season progresses. Allen and Hamer both had stints at AM and CM as and when required.

Trust the process. If Robins is chilled out about the situation, it's usually a good sign.

Is that the international break?

The transfer fees aren't the only thing needed to operate a football team. We've presumably increased our payroll considerably and we were a loss making business before he took over. Besides, there's nothing wrong banking the money and either reinvesting in Jan and/or next summer. The journey...

Godden had an open goal… I’m sure even Godden would have the accountability to admit he should’ve buried that 9 times out of 10. Wright’s chance wasn’t an ‘easy’, he should’ve scored and lacked that finesse.

Exactly. Remember thinking against Reading (and Birmingham) at home that he'd knocked a few million off of his value. He scored a pen in both those games and genuinely could've had 5 or 6 from open play in those games. People just need to relax and trust the process.

Exactly, people pointing the finger at the striker are missing the root cause. We haven’t been creating that many clear cut chance. With the exception of Leicester away where we created many chances but did not take them.

We were the most direct team in the league last season…

Minimum, we need a CM and a CB. An extra striker would be ideal.

It’s no coincidence that we looked most dangerous against Leicester when Wright came on and before Hamer was substituted. Eccles and Sheaf are good, but on the current evidence, neither are ready to step up to Hamer’s level. I appreciate Sheaf is v good at what he does - one of the best in the...

Against Leicester, he did and his finish against Boro was v good. He’s a full international with a good goal scoring record in a respectable league. It’s 4 games in the season and the guy has just uprooted his life from Turkey and needs time to adapt to a new league, new team and new style of...

It is a bit of a trope that he is lazy. He worked hard yesterday and thought it was his best game for us - we just need to develop and coach him and he’ll be a good signing.

Give the guy time, Gyokeres was behind Biamou and Tyler Walker when we first signed him. Getting all of our players acclimatised to the Championship and our style of play will take time. We’ve lost our most creative player in Hamer and aren’t creating the chances for Godden, Wright or Simms...

Sakamoto will fill in at WB or in the AM slot in the box. He played well against Swansea, but what we needed was someone to link the strikers and midfield. We moved the ball better yesterday with Palmer and Ayari than we did with Sakamoto. Sakamoto did well in the wide spaces and dribbling the...
