That’s fair. I know some people we need to accept paying 12 mil, but I stand by that is ridiculous for a player of his quality.

Can see us having a massive bid accepted on deadline day as happened with the Kitching deal.

He definitely doesn't.

Given the fee we paid he's been a bad signing.

He doesn't really have any redeeming qualities, has shown nothing to really suggest he'd ever make it at this leve and thinks he's considerably better than he is. A bad mix for a footballer.

The above is compounded further by the fact we didn't even need him in the first place.

Hopefully we can somehow recoup some of the fee either over the next few days or in a future window.

It is strange really, Bassette had his only real run in the side under Lampard

Can we sign Hughes , sincerely hope so .
Can we get Woolfenden as well ?
Does this mean MvE is leaving and Lati becomes back up for KKH?

Wowzers

It’s a strange few days as no doubt we need strengthening. Funds wise, is there an element of, well players such as Rudoni and Torp (if he can continue his form) their fee will no doubt be well up on what we paid for them. If we splash out now to try and help us in our promotion and fail, we will lose some of our bigger players such as Rudoni anyway and still have a blanket of funds. So is this a way of really giving it a go?

Feels like the payoff will be MvE leaving ?
Would be amazing to get both though

Just as a whole on the squad the one glaring weakness is centre back . Beyond that we can wish for other areas to be strengthened .
Squad come Tuesday ..
Dovin, Rushworth , Wilson
KKH , Lati
Brau, JdS
Kitching , Woolfenden , Thomas , Hughes
Grimes , Sheaf , Eccles , Allen ,Andrews
Torp ,Rudoni
BTA, EMC ,Wright ,Simms ,Saka, Rapha

Plus a loanee ?

A full 25 man squad

For me it depends on MvE staying or leaving

I think that's where Lati will cover ?
KKH played a similar amount of games as MvE last season.

Andrews is an U21, so that would be a 23 man squad. Room, wage bill permitting, for 2 more.

In the recruitment team at Liverpool they talk about “unicorn” footballers - those who are worth paying above your spending brackets as they drastically improve your team - e.g. Alisson & van Dijk

We clearly see Hughes in a similar mould & probably agree with Hull that he’ll likely be worth £20m in a year or two

Surely he’ll be worth more after a season with us than relegation fighting hull ?

Transfermarkt has Godo worth €600k

It says apparently Strasbourg have bid €7m for him.

Only signed from Margate FC three years ago and played 34 games for Wigan.

Let Strasbourg take this one.

Really wonder what our bid was which they were considering depending if they got a player in

Got to laugh at our fans turning their nose up at Godo. Off to a very smart football club playing in Europe for €7m.

I know of another player the same. Very good player who spent most of his career at Swansea. Had a few offers over the years but was very happy at Swansea until Lampard let him know he would like to sign him. He then didn't play again until the transfer was completed.

May have been because the club made it be known his salary would go up by a large amount. As for Hughes I'd be surprised if this deal happens.
