If only it was that easy!

The following is the kind of comment that lives to bite you in the arse, but I think I’d prefer to spend 7 million on Tanganga than 10 million on Hughes.

Tanganga is a quality CH I'd love us to sign him mate, Hull won't sell Hughes

Can't see anything about Tanganga going Sheffield, Ben Godfrey is flying into Sheffield to sign for the Blunts on loan I've seen

Southampton, Ipswich, Leicester and Blues distorting the fees for Championship players, plus they haven't all finished splurging on the PL loan market yet. I wonder if our recruitment team have been 'allowed' much scope in this area (in terms of our recent scarcity of inward loans).

Who are we signing then that signals this “cheap approach”?

Again, why do people just assume:

1 - that we haven’t made a bid for a player
2 - more importantly, that the player actually wants to join us.

Tanganga seems to be somewhere between 5m and 7m which seems a great deal when compared to some of the numbers being thrown around for Thomas/Hughes/Doyle.

I personally don’t get the obsession from some for the player either. There are no links to the player with us and in truth, there are better options out there.

Personally think Tanganga would suit our current system better than Hughes and maybe also Doyle.

So FotMob has the following CB’s with a higher rating (24/25 average) than Tanganga.

Danny Batth
Bobby Thomas
Callum Doyle
Anel Ahmedhdozic
Jack Robinson
Harry Darling
Ben Cabango
Jimmy Dunne
Rob Dickie
Charlie Hughes
Luke McNally

From the CBs that were rated better I’ve taken out any that were with clubs that got promoted, so the list contains players that were all rated better but not promoted out of this league, so what makes him one of the best in your opinion?

I think if the club had a spare £8m then there are names here I’d prefer the club push for over Tanganga, but this is just my opinion obviously.

It’s a name that keeps cropping up, but I think there are younger players with a higher ceiling which could be available for less which maybe better suited.

He does not need to distribute with Grimes dropping in. We need pace and defensive awareness at the back

Agreed - would provide the 'engine' at the heart of our defence with Bobby ?

Thomas Tanganga engine?

Heggems not on that list yet has just gone for £10m. Looking at ratings on fotmob is a stupid way to judge players.

It’s not an exact science, I will concede that, but I would say it’s a better way to judge players than throwing names out there and hoping one sticks.

Those 2 players (particularly Robinson) are absolutely garbage, and if we signed either, I'd be gutted.

Be happy with either of the 2 we've bid on tbh. Hughes obviously younger with higher potential so excites me more but of the 2 I think its more likely we go back for Woolfenden.

Exactly. Its a stupid way to judge players.

In particular in a defence, if you have 1 brilliant CB surrounded by shite, and the team concedes 3 as a consequence then it brings the rating down.

Totally reasonable, but that’s two out of eleven players listed and two of the players in the list we’ve been linked with.

I don't believe we're just bidding on a CB and a backup winger either. Reckon we've got another up our sleeve, not sure what position, a wildcard.

I am wary of Woolfenden in the same way I’m wary of anyone from that Ipswich team. Very much felt like a team who were greater than the sum of their parts and I’d worry that when taken out of that environment some of them simply aren’t that good.

I honestly have no idea on that one. Really hard to judge. I guess they wouldn't really want to strengthen a team that many may consider to be 'up there' so we'd have to give them something to think about rather than low ball them.
