Well this is true, in which case we've only signed 2 players from league 1 in like 3 or 4 seasons unless I'm missing something? Those being Kitching and Collins, so it's hardly a massive sample pool.I mean sort of. Same as Thomas sort of. In reality they were PL castoffs though.
There isn't but I think you're likely to get two players from those leagues compared to one from league 1 for the same transfer fee. So basically allows you to have a bit more leeway for poor transfers.Well this is true, in which case we've only signed 2 players from league 1 in like 3 or 4 seasons unless I'm missing something?

For what it's worth I also like plucking rough diamonds from random foreign leagues but its a balancing act, there's nothing to say someone playing in Norway or Sweden will come out any better than someone playing in league 1.

Not only that but he’s never played above League 1 at 24. Maybe he will turn out to be great and only time will tell but that fee seems strange to me.EMC as well. Obviously jury not even started sitting on him yet, but £4.5m for a 24 year old that’s never even come close to PL training always worries me.
Just questioning the value there really. You’re taking a clubs best player and they’re going to over value them.
It's the going rate, Peterborough always develop well and they never sell low. If we've decided that's the player we want over some bloke in Scandinavia who's half the price then so be it.EMC as well.

Think we need to spend real ££ on two first XI CMs incl. an O'Hare-type and a wide fwd.
- Wright and Tavares can be cover for Simms down the middle.
- Wright, EMC and Sakamoto can cover the flanks. Need one more.
- Sheaf, Torp, Eccles, a new no. 6, a new no. 8/10, Palmer and Allen covers the midfield.
- Thomas, Kitching and Latibeaudiere at CB. Probably need two more, cheap or freebies.
- Bidwell and Da Silva is enough for one more season if Bidwell maintains current form.
- Just need cover at RB - MVE is solid - should be one we can get on a free or very cheap.
- Don't see us spending a serious fee on a GK. I'd be more keen a first XI quality on loan.
- I'm assuming O'Hare, Godden, Kelly and Moore leave. Tavares, Allen and Wilson stay.
- I'd love Obikwu, Burroughs and Andrews to play a part but don't see it happening now.
That's 6 in, 4 out costing c.£8m with the bulk on CMs. Vik sale at his buy-out covers it.
More I think about it, the more I see what @Saddlebrains is saying. It's Vik or it's Sheaf.
@Saddlebrains Can you remember the sell on for GH - its total fee and 10-15%? He will move so hopefully another 1-2m in the kitty.It is literally one of the 2
Vik goes early we have our budget
Vik doesnt Sheaf goes to give us it
If anything happens with Hamer moving on then thats a bonus either way
Expect us to have Sheaf moved on by Mid July if Vik hasnt moved by then

Barnsley were narrowly losing playoff finalists tbfNot sure I want another load of midtable L1 players like last summer. Hardly set the world alight and cost way over the odds.
Bang for buck is far far better abroad, and in the PL.
Nice. That should be enough to keep Sheaf.10% of full fee for Gus
Vik is 15% of profit
Also means he can’t get injured, more importantly.Nice. That should be enough to keep Sheaf.
Massive bonus VG and Sweden not involved in Euro 2024 - as hopefully that means not distraction in getting done early, whilst other top European talent is busy.
Would think a prem team will cherry pick hamer from them possibly.10% of full fee for Gus
Vik is 15% of profit
Ivan ToneyEMC as well. Obviously jury not even started sitting on him yet, but £4.5m for a 24 year old that’s never even come close to PL training always worries me.

Would love to add Dolan / Chuck in a godden replacement then - lovely.If we add the likes of Dolan and rudoni on top of what we already have our attack will be one the best in the league if not the best
Robins needs to ask himself whether Collins Thomas and Kitching is a good enough back three to get us promoted
Bobby is definitely good enough, hopefully Kitching starts the season like he started his city career. There’s definitely a v good player in there but need to see it next year
If pace and fitness is the issue with Kitching it can be worked on for sure. You cannot concede so many daft goals so frequently and expect to go up.If we add the likes of Dolan and rudoni on top of what we already have our attack will be one the best in the league if not the best

not seen enough of rudoni - think we can play a 3 without a 10 next year.
Well pace and fitness isn’t the issue, it’s his poor defending recently.If pace and fitness is the issue with Kitching it can be worked on for sure. You cannot concede so many daft goals so frequently and expect to go up.
My wife’s a solid 6 if we’re still looking for oneThat would be great wouldn’t it, wouldn’t have to worry about scoring goals
he’s always looked good in a poor side, think he could flourish for us, murmurs that he’s on the radar.
Yeah I think we can do, I’ll think we’ll sign a 6 and a 10, which would be the perfect blend we’d have a mix of 6, 8 and 10’s
Don’t get me wrong I think we could play a flatter 3 and play torp further up, I disagree with the idea we don’t need a number 10.Our current favoured 433 doesn't need a 10 which probably why he has seemed ineffective of late. Wide right isn't ideal for him either
She available on a bosman?My wife’s a solid 6 if we’re still looking for one
I’d still love to know what in the name of Godden he was thinking by booting the ball into his own top corner.Well pace and fitness isn’t the issue, it’s his poor defending recently.
Bobby makes mistakes but some games this season he has been absolutely superb and you can see so much potential
Leeds wolves Sheffield Wednesday away to name a few.
Yes but plays mostly in the hole. Needs to find those pockets of space with me aboutShe available on a bosman?
Anyone know how Rudoni has been doing at Huddersfield?If we add the likes of Dolan and rudoni on top of what we already have our attack will be one the best in the league if not the best

This thread makes for interesting reading. A lot of the comments made would apply to O’Hare at a similar stageAnyone know how Rudoni has been doing at Huddersfield?
I remember I wanted us to sign him from Wimbledon when we got promoted, but he went to Huddersfield. We had a lot less money then, but he would have still been within our budget, and meets our criteria of young with resaleability. Last I checked he had a slowish start and was flattering to deceive at Huddersfield at first, not really heard anything since, obviously Huddersfield aren't doing as well last two seasons!
Does sound very much like an ideal replacement for O'Hare, especially in regards to his off the ball work. In a better team, under Robins and Adi, it's easy to imagine here being the ideal place for him to kick on further. Hopefully he wouldn't be too expensive with Huddersfield going down, although I imagine there will be competition for himThis thread makes for interesting reading.

Jack Rudoni | DATM | HTAFC
I thought he'd started the season poorly, but today he was magnificent . Covered every inch of the grass,never gave up, tackled like a terrier and showed a high level of skill in every thing he diddownatthemac.proboards.com
Seems to attract familiar complaints about a lack of end productDoes sound very much like an ideal replacement for O'Hare, especially in regards to his off the ball work.
