If he does brilliantly we make a tonne of money on him….
Glass half full or half empty ??
Where the fuck have we got all this money from? Breaking transfer records for CBs. Madness.
I don't want Kevin Spacey anywhere near my club, was bad enough signing Marlon KingI’ve not seen a link but I’m told we have been linked with Oxlaide Chamberlain today along with the usual suspects …
It is strange really, Bassette had his only real run in the side under LampardHe 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.
We will get either Hughes or WoolfendenCan 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
Feels like the payoff will be MvE leaving ?We will get either Hughes or Woolfenden
THink we will get 1 and MVE wont leaveFeels like the payoff will be MvE leaving ?
Would be amazing to get both though
Were not signing 2 Centre backs imoJust 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 ..
Dovins, 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 leavingWere not signing 2 Centre backs imo
beauty of Hughes can play either side
We’ll need another right back thoughFor me it depends on MvE staying or leaving
I think that's where Lati will cover ?We’ll need another right back though
Andrews is an U21, so that would be a 23 man squad. Room, wage bill permitting, for 2 more.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 .

Didn't realise that ,maybe Bidwell makes the cut thenAndrews is an U21, so that would be a 23 man squad. Room, wage bill permitting, for 2 more.
That hurtGodden*
Where was that attitude when you were crying over Robinsmelon
Surely he’ll be worth more after a season with us than relegation fighting hull ?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
Lube up everyone!Your epitaph.
It's ok probably agent talk from his present club.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.Hughes is obviously interested in the move as well wouldn't have bid otherwise but he doesn't seem like the kind of bloke to force his way out
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.I know of another player the same.

Which is what the idea is.Really don't think doubling our transfer record on a CB is worth it
We'd have to get promoted to justify it.
He was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.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.
21 years old and club captain at his last 2 clubs.Well that’s the thing for me. He’s not “clearly” going to get better. Hopefully he will, but it’s certainly not clear cut!
It would be for me if we don't bring a central defender in because the back ups are Lati( no idea when he will be fit) andHe was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.
Any Hughes deal could go either way. They're in financial difficulties after taking a big gamble mid season to get promoted and failing miserably. They need both the player and the money. On an educated guess I would say he will play the last game for them this weekend then a deal will be done if we've offered enough....unless Woolfenden is prised from Ipswich before then.
The biggest surprise for me would be if we didn't bring in at least a CB by Monday evening.
It would be for me too as our back up would be Lati ( no idea when he will be fit) and a Jake Bidwell.He was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.
