It’s pretty irrelevant at this point in time though isn’t it ?

Sept 1 is a better date to judge and even then it’s about net spend over time not spend in a single window.

It was to show the doom and gloomers that despite having a net spend of 1 million, that is the eleventh highest of the 24 teams.

Southampton also after some Armenian fella and look likely to get him. Hopefully means they cool interest.

Seriously doubt Rudoni is on his way out - one more year here with another solid season behind him in terms of stats and he could get a decent move abroad or to an established prem team. Only have to look at Hamer who joined a bottom of the table prem team and is now stuck in the championship.

Besides, I really wouldn’t like to think how Lampard would react with him going late in the window. Think it’s puts him in a difficult position.

You've only got to look at O'Hare who left us for a guaranteed premier league mov.......... oh, wait!!!!

I expect many more teams will follow that pretty simple formula and Lampard will stubbornly keep it as it is.

The two up top was different to be fair to Lampard but if poor Simmo is only going to get one from six very good chances we could be in for a long season.

If it was cheap I wouldn’t be against it, proven and we know he’s a good defender. Would much rather a hughes or Doyle though

Hyam is getting on a bit now at 29. Although good, he is not the upgrade on what we have already IMO

If outward moves don't happen I think we might downgrade our CB search from obvious starter to just someone who can compete.

Should send Blackburn a bid equal to what they offered when we were in difficulty.

Its funny isn't it without the inside info being leaked here which should never have happened, everyone is now incorrectly assuming Doug doesn't care about transfers and we have no internal plan

This is despite the fact we've appointed two high level new positions in the last 3 months aimed at streamlining operations.

But because Matt Smith and Sparks dont know about anything, there's no plan and doug doesn't care

Get used to the silence. Its how it should be

Isn’t that the nub. It’s harder to get quality when you don’t want to (or can’t) pay for it. Or don’t want to take the risk of making a poor recruitment choice. Frozen into inaction?
Click to expand...
Yeah, i think you can be too passive or focus on 1 target to long. The other issue is being too rigid on value on letting go of the current squad players that are deemed to be surplus. You tend to lose in recruiting and money by hanging onto those you can improve on.

As for Doug i think he has a clear vision of market value and has put the club in a better position to control certain outcomes. I also think if he sees potential of investing in a player he will. Its just from the outside looking in like we have no flexibility to anything even mecia leaks, attention or acknowledging that we are holding talks with other clubs about potential deals.

Yeah I know the silence is better for the club in regards to deals.

But I don’t know about anybody else but I miss the excitement of debating rumours, or of hints from people who know way too much or too little.

That’s part of the joy of the transfer window for me, other clubs seem to have it through the local journalists however all the telegraph does is post nonsense from here.

Not shocked about Brau, you can see a real good player in him. Big upside on this signing, i wouldn't be shocked to see Brau and Rafa make big impacts during periods of this season.

I was told Andrews is really rated by FL and the coaches. They think he can be a top player..

Nothing against AT personally but I think the days of his exclusives are long gone. It always leaks elsewhere first.

I don’t think we’ll see any incomings until the last week of the window. We’re clearly waiting for things to fall into place.

Yeah I think we can do better than this but in fairness I think he played every championship game for them last season so he must still have a decent engine and be robust as far as injuries are concerned.

Don't know but standard I'd have thought and under different ownership, I don't know what he said when he joined us either tbf.

There is little joy in these transfer windows. Four months of tedium. It only benefits agents and social media grifters. Should be cut to one month.

I think it should certainly be cut to the start of the season, maybe to make it fair for everyone start of the Prem season.
