He's too cultured for the championship. Over the years we have had players who were just too good for us. Gillespie, Keane, Pearce, Wallace, Yorath. For different reasons they had to move on and Binks, I believe, will be one of them. it wouldn't surprise me if he does the same as Viktor and develops abroad (I know Binks has done so before) and in a couple of years where he is constantly playing European football comes back to a high end premiership club.I think we should have a look at this Binks chap who plays for Brondby. He was the outfield player of the match in the Europa Conference League match against Strasbourg:

He's probably just what we need.
Well that’s a lie, you haven’t got any mates!Just on what @shmmeee was asking earlier, I spoke to my mate who’s an Ipswich fan about Woolfenden and he said “He’ll be alright for you guys, bit inconsistent and would be more of a bench option for us but he’s solid enough. Only decent at the right price though.” So to me that seems like a polite way of saying he’s alright but nothing amazing. Also, if Ipswich are happy to ditch a player to a top 6 rival then he can’t be that amazing, mixed feelings on Woolfenden atm.
Vardy, Fulham Winger and Woolfy wouldnt be bad.
GIMOC said he is?Vardy isn't coming here FFS.
GIMOC told me I have a six pack and a massive cockGIMOC said he is?

could you make it up...
i'll wait for an actually source on that
They also said Stoke were interested until stokes local reporter said it was bollocks.could you make it up...
Read it again.
Using that website as a source is like quoting Kev Monks as your source.They also said Stoke were interested until stokes local reporter said it was bollocks.
What have you got against Kev Monks? He’s soundUsing that website as a source is like quoting Kev Monks as your source.
So on the contract extension. Thinks it’s fair to assume the contracts had clauses in them.
Allen and Wilson being the two extended and I get both tbh. Especially as Allen is often a dependable backup when we at times struggle with injuries in midfield.
On MVE being a sacrificial lamb for the transfer window, I think it’s a half truth would we have spent more if he left? Probably as Doug has a habit of passing player fees back into the playing squad.
But I do think we have a budget shown by the bids for Hughes and Woolfden of around £8 million. It’s just getting quality players in this market seems to be a nightmare. We could probably sign league one CBs but the club is trying to bring in quality not quantity.
Still think we sign the Fulham winger for around £1 million and then sign Woolfden especially as they’ve just bid for a CB.
If we do both, then it’s a good window imo. Great would be replacing one of the strikers and who knows maybe that link has legs as well
Nothing, he was the only person I could think of has set up a Cov City news site.What have you got against Kev Monks? He’s sound
Exactly, which makes it even more unlikely.Why would he want to come here to be on the bench? Hes doing that where he is.
Where is this magic money tree you think we have?Signing Woolfenden and the Fulham winger for me wouldn’t be a good window. It would be below my expectations of a team ‘going for it’

I’m not sure we are going for it at least not in the same way as Birmingham and Wrexham can due to their much higher wealth than us.Signing Woolfenden and the Fulham winger for me wouldn’t be a good window. It would be below my expectations of a team ‘going for it’

But we have a great team already, one that finished 5th and only lost in the play offs (to the team that won promotion) because of a bad back pass and a 121st minute lapse of concentration from a shattered set of players.Signing Woolfenden and the Fulham winger for me wouldn’t be a good window. It would be below my expectations of a team ‘going for it’

Team saying "actually cov Watford also want him so increase your bid please lads" or agent saying: "Watford have offered him X - you need to beat it"
Signing a highly rated keeper, a highly rated right back, a new left back and a proven championship centre half to replace Binks plus more competition for the Wings whilst retaining all your key players …. What the f did you expect ???Signing Woolfenden and the Fulham winger for me wouldn’t be a good window. It would be below my expectations of a team ‘going for it’

That's the money that will go on Woolfenden? What are you talking about lolWe bid £7m for Hughes and £6m for Rushworth. We just sold Binks for £2.5m and had Gyokeres sell on fee for somewhere around £2.5m-3m… that’s where!

And you told me that I needed to go outside and touch some grassYou’re missing my point.
Doug and Dean sit down last season and decide were going to sell Milan. Well first we should see if anyone is out there who might pay £10m for a RB outside the PL and if so what other options are on the market. Basically is this a thing that’s actually going to happen or not? We aren’t taking him to CEX we need an interested buyer and that kind of deal takes months to finalise. If there were no serious buyers sniffing at the start of the summer it’s time for plan B.
But again if we were hanging everything of a big sale why the bids for players? We’ve clearly got money but feel the squad is too big maybe, so why extend Eccles Allen Bidwell and Wilson who are all nowhere near the first team?
It’s shit management decision after shit management decision I’m sorry. An no I don’t accept Lampard just doesn’t want to sign anyone.
So to confirm, we have tried to improve the squad further? Also Wolfenden was a regular in a team that got promoted out of this league, he’d be a very good signingWe bid £7m for Hughes and £6m for Rushworth. We just sold Binks for £2.5m and had Gyokeres sell on fee for somewhere around £2.5m-3m… that’s where!

Birmingham can't really do what they are doing unless the get promoted in the next couple of seasons which they don't look like they are at that level yet.I remember when we first sold Gus and Vik and pretty much to a man even the ones pissing the sheets now said if Doug gave just half of that back to Robins and put the rest to towards the running of the club they'd have been happy. Doug gave all of that and significantly more to Robins as it happens. He's also given some to Frank with some more obviously still there to play with... we can't go and absolutely spunk our load without a significant sale, i'm not sure what we want at this point?
We cannot do what Birmingham are doing and neither should we look to, its completely reckless.
We will see at least 2 more, i'm absolutely confident of that.
He's the same age as Harry Darling and unlike Darling he's actually achieved what we ultimately want to, yet Darling became a forum darling.. if you will. I think some people get names in their heads and get stuck on itSo to confirm, we have tried to improve the squad further?
