Yes and in the same breath he conveniently becomes amnesic regarding the fact that Simms & Wright arrived very quickly as Gyokeres replacements.

Prompts an interesting question though: we effectively ‘lost’ a season post-Hamer, with the lack of creativity / drive from midfield, but gained £15m.

Give or take, that £15m - arguably/ultimately - allowed us to bring in: MVE (£3.4m), Rudoni (£5m), Mason Clarke (£4.25m), Saka (£1.2m) and, say, Thomas (£2m).

So, assuming that’s ’the model’, are we all happy effectively ‘burning’ a season after the big sales - assuming that we wait for the right replacements and the longer term trajectory of the club is positive (which is seems to be)?

For me, it’s a resounding yes - but we need to remember that after the next big sale: MVE, Rudoni, Wright etc - that £15m is now, conservatively, worth £30m/£40m, and we’re a better overall team for it.

The key is the replacements. Brentford lost their 2 best players (Watkins & Benrahma) and still got promoted - they didn't burn or lose a season

Clearly our replacements fell through and we had to get Ayari. We were still pushing for Swift on deadline day IIRC (glad we missed out)

Was also the recruitment teams first window - the KKH deal points to us being more prepared for departures than before

People often refer to the Brentford or Brighton model as being the bar to hit, but the one I'd prefer is Fulham. Nothing extravagant, not relying on eye watering fees outgoing or incoming, just sustainable incremental progress. Granted their owner is minted.

I can’t remember the exact sequencing, so you may be right, but it’s safe to assume that they were all signed based on the cash being made available by the Gyokeres / Hamer moves.

good old JH back in full force, 2 in 2 days.

For record, AG would be better than Wilson and Collins - he had an outstanding season 2 years ago, year Norwich reached play offs v Leeds. However really fell off cliff last year. Again just for argument sake - couldn't see him taking a 12month deal.

he is deffo better than what we have now. I would take him and fill that void but 12 months not sure. Depends who his other offers are. Can’t see him short of offers tbf.

Let’s assume there’s any truth to it.

Why only 12 months? Would imagine it would be two or even three at a push?

Well he's definitely an upgrade on Wilson and Collins that's for sure, could be true could not be as its JH but I'm sure things are happening and have been for a while

The problem is we don't just want a keeper. We want them to act as a playmaker from the back, be good with their feet and hands, stop shots, command the box and so on. Does what we want exist?

The club being secretive is creating absolute panic on this forum. Its the desperation for any news that's making the posts get more and more random.

Chill Winston's... Things will happen and if they don't FL or Doug will have to explain and if they think the squad is good enough results will determine who is right.

Tbf Angus Gunn was a name I'd heard from somebody a while back who usually heats bits and pieces. Could be bollocks just like a JH promise

If there are players FL wants to sell its going to take time . Some will be more difficult to move on than others and presumably replacements will have to be lined up for when some of them go. The notion that DK should just put his hand in his pocket and stump up for new signings is not a sound model .
