What you on about? We willingly gave them new contracts for starters.

Bidwell was automatic based on appearances. Nice try thoughOr just don’t keep offering players who are old and nowhere near the first team extended contracts
1 player yes. Bidwell was an automatic extension and any other player was a new signing. So back to my original point...What you on about? We willingly gave them new contracts for starters.

I don't get the issue with a new contract for EcclesWas he though? And Allen? And Eccles? And the bids we’ve turned down for BTA for example? The fact MvE is still hanging around.
Having Vik and Gus as his first sales an O’Hare leaving for free has skewed Doug’s view on transfers and now we’re stuck because he thinks he should be making bank on everyone and no one should ever leave
What original point? I actually agree with Shmmeee (not the 9 player summer bit, I see 6 or 7 as more reasonable/realistic), I think Doug is pricing them out, they would absolutely get moves if you were essentially giving them away, which we should.1 player yes.

People wanted to give Bink away for next to nothing and he got £2.5m for himWhat original point?

If this were true the Grimes signing doesn’t happenWas he though? And Allen? And Eccles? And the bids we’ve turned down for BTA for example? The fact MvE is still hanging around.

We should have snapped the hand off with the BTA bid. Hard to see that coming around again.Was he though? And Allen? And Eccles? And the bids we’ve turned down for BTA for example? The fact MvE is still hanging around.

Binks is a lot younger. I'd have hoped for money back, making a profit was stunning business tbf. Not sure I see much coming in for Bidwell and Allen in particular as we seem to be talking about those.People wanted to give Bink away for next to nothing and he got £2.5m for him
Oh yes I thought you were referring to BTA.Binks is a lot younger. I'd have hoped for money back, making a profit was stunning business tbf. Not sure I see much coming in for Bidwell and Allen in particular as we seem to be talking about those.
Even you admitted you'd rather have Andrews than Allen right now didn't you?
OK yeh I think we broadly agree then.Oh yes I thought you were referring to BTA.
Bidwell and Allen we should be just looking to move them on for pennies.
BTA I still think we can get £2-£3m for him regardless of what posters on here think, same for Simms.

Don't agree on Eccles, he holds value if we were to sell so it's a good re-new whichever way you look at it.
Could easily get £3m for Eccles if we wanted. Absolute no brainer to extend.I don't get the issue with a new contract for Eccles
Jesper Daland? Justin Devenny?
I imagine there would be a host of clubs in the championship who would love to have Simms if a deal was there to be made.I think we’ll see some outs this week.
I wonder if there has quietly been some interest in Simms.
I don't think Eccles is worth what some on here do but as things stand he's someone who will play plenty, especially with captain twig legs out again. A solid if unspectacular player who either plays or will fetch a couple of million if Lampard wants to flip.I just think you can’t both hoard players in case they’re worth something and tell your manager he has a tiny wage budget to make things work. Eccles, BTA, Simms, Bassette, Bidwell, Allen farting about the training ground and KKH sat with his feet up waiting for MvE to pack mean were short all over of first team quality.
In an ideal window you get rid of Eccles and replace him with better, but its quite clear this isnt going to be an ideal window.I don't think Eccles is worth what some on here do but as things stand he's someone who will play plenty, especially with captain twig legs out again.

Bidwell and Allen, as I've said, give them away for peanuts.
The strikers are difficult, you're talking about a combined £10 million you can't just write off. I agree we should be looking at selling all 3 of those but we need to get back the highest value possible. You may well be looking at them being end of window panic buys.
Yep I'd go along with that. Whilst recognising I'll probably end up disappointed.In an ideal window you get rid of Eccles and replace him with better, but its quite clear this isnt going to be an ideal window.
An ideal window from this point is shifting on
1 keeper
Bidwell
Allen
Simms/BTA
Bassette
and getting in a CB, CM, Striker and Winger
yeah, it’s a shame as I like them both but I’ve got to agree.I must admit I'm disappointed to still see the likes of Bidwell and Allen making the matchday squad, nevermind the pitch!
We really need to move on and upgrade.
With losing Binks we should be looking to sign someone without anyone moving. I'm surprised we haven't signed someone alreadyNeed 3 in before the window shuts, but to get that 4 or 5 may have to be moved on. That is a big ask and something i cant see happening. Some of those on decent contracts will be tough to find interested clubs
I think if I'm being positive I'm saying we're looking at a good standard of player so it's harder to get the deal done. The worry is if those deals we're working on don't actually get done at all.With losing Binks we should be looking to sign someone without anyone moving.

Lower end, possibly.I imagine there would be a host of clubs in the championship who would love to have Simms if a deal was there to be made.
Going Leicester apparently.Josh Brownhill is still a free agent, now sheaf is out, be a great signing...PUSB
Would they not have had pre season with their own teams?Stop the bedwetting some of you, we only need 2 or 3 more additions our squad is shaping up well. If we sign 6/7 players we need to sell and none of them would have had a pre-season so we’d need a slow start yet again. Against Hull the only thing stopping us was clinicality, we definitely need a CB and RW, anything else is to replace outgoings (minus if Bidwell left as we already have his replacement)
I think Doug has told Lampard he can upgrade defence or attack but not both...We’re not linked with any attacking players at the moment. The ones we were linked with have all moved on.
