Spot on!
It was contingent on Rooney being manager.Amazing Ol Gimoc told us Vardy was signed and sealed and no ones even discussed it on this thread.
Fine.Get the feeling our business is done.
and supposedly turned down bids for RudoniFine.
We have a clear upgrade at GK
High quality competition for MVE (who stays)
And the emergence of Rapha and Kai Andrews who both look excellent from what I've seen.
Bidwell as the backup LCB. Not ideal, but he's an experienced player and has never looked out of place there.
There's clearly money left, but King won't be ripped off (either selling or buying)
We turned down bids for Sheaf last summer (not meeting our price)
We rejected Blackburn's move for BTA in Jan
And if rumours are to be believed we've pushed back on offers for MVE this summer
Bidwell as backup LCB isnt great, and Rapha and Andrews can't be considered positives of the window if they were already in the squad.Fine.

If King wants £20mil for Rudoni + add ons. He won't take less
Ironically, DK sacking the kitman has had a negative effect as fans are becoming impatient and the lack of info being leaked is only making it worse, imo.
I’m fairly relaxed about it. Think we’ll see a couple good players in. I just hope we have contingencies in place if we miss our main targets.
That would suggest we are happy to spend money for the sake of it.Bidwell as backup LCB isnt great, and Rapha and Andrews can't be considered positives of the window if they were already in the squad.
I spoke to him on Tuesday at the game and there wasn't really anything worth sharing.@Jimmy87 any thing to share? (Just make something up, to stops these previous posts)
Give him a chanceH
Is connections have worked well haven't they lol.
But that's not a good window. Turning down bids that aren't high enough to meet your valuation (that tbf, are only reported rumours, not fact) doesn't equate to a good window. Apart from RB we've haven't strengthened any area on the pitch.Fine.

All the problems that were there last season and throughout pre-season haven't been addressed at all. Whilst the race for top 6 has arguably got stronger than last season, we have stood still (thus far).
You can't tread water in a league like the championship. You either swim or drown. You can't stay still and hope you'll have a finish the same as last season. That's not how it works.

JDI still think we get Hughes. Late in the window.
Judging the window part way through is like cooking a piece of chicken for less than the required time and then complaining that it is still a bit raw.But that's not a good window.

Job done ??
Be a big signing if true
We haven't though, without injury, we have Dovin No1, Wilson No13. With Dovins injury we have a LOAN player instead. Even if the argument of Rushworth being better than Dovin (Yet to be decided, can't claim anything after just 1 appearance) he's only here temporarily. Thats, if anything, stagnated. It certainly hasn't improved that position.We have strengthened in goal that is undeniable

So loan players now don’t count as a way of improving the squad ?? That’s a new one …. Last summer it was the fact we were not signing loan players that was the problem …..We haven't though, without injury, we have Dovin No1, Wilson No13.

If Rushworth was a permanent and when Dovin is back they were competing for No1, id say its an improvement, but as it stands, a loan with the same 2 players as back up (wilson/collins) is NOT an improvement in my eyes!

There is no planet in which Bristol City would sell Knight to us for less than £8 million.A poster mentioned we would target Will Smallbone in a separate deal to the Rudoni deal, there’s no way I’d want to pay £8m for him, would much rather his Irish counterpart Jason Knight at Bristol City for likely a lot less.

No, because as of yet he's not an improvement on Dovin. He could yet be a great keeper, but as it stands, were no better/worse off than having Dovin fit and Wilson on the bench. Tomato - Potato.So loan players now don’t count as a way of improving the squad ?? That’s a new one …. Last summer it was the fact we were not signing loan players that was the problem …..
We would have started the season with Wilson and Collins for a minimum half a season. We have improved on those 2.No, because as of yet he's not an improvement on Dovin. He could yet be a great keeper, but as it stands, were no better/worse off than having Dovin fit and Wilson on the bench. Tomato - Potato.
I dont think we're weaker in that position, but i certainly wouldn't say we've "strengthened". Especially as the plaster we've used to cover it up with has a January recall. Then we're back to Dovin/Wilson. Thats not an improvement, that's the same!

It has to be an improvement on where we would be at this current time if we hadn't signed Rushworth or someone of his quality. Come January we can cross that bridge when/if it happens. Apparently we tried to sign Rushworth but they wouldn't sell. Not much we can do about that if no other equivalent keeper is available at our price.No, because as of yet he's not an improvement on Dovin.

If Dovin wasnt injured we'd of started Dovin/Wilson. Unfortunately he is, so we've bought in a loan. So were starting loan/Wilson.We would have started the season with Wilson and Collins for a minimum half a season. We have improved on those 2.
Fucking hell were getting Julien Dacosta back aren't we
Can't be right at all, we had strengthene dthis year and not losing any key players. Milan and KKH were going to be fighting out for first choice or KKH LB.Looks like Milan is off, guy is bang on
