Difficult to say. Structurally, our defence has been good and we’ve barely conceded any shots. It’s just that three of our five goals conceded have been from silly individual mistakes that are (in theory) unlikely to continue at such a rate.

I’d say the bigger problem with us in the final third.

And yet we are top scorers?

But we cant defend a set piece.

Especially when you consider we're getting 6.5 million for Captain Crock, yes.

You’d think Rak-Sakyi Snr would come straight in ahead of Saka surely? Or on current form perhaps EMC.

This transfer deadline day feels a bit madder than usual looking at all the moves in the Premier League and Championship so far.
Just needs a Peter Odemwingie rocking up and trying to get into Ryton

Granted, age is an issue, and were not likely to make much of a profit on that....

But for a player that has been promoted from this league and has PL experience, its much preferable to £10m for Hughes who's been relegated with Wigan, played L1 with Wigan and almost been relegated with Hull. Both would be nice, but if we can only get 1, Wolf is my preference.

We're not always gonna be able to buy young, improve and make a profit. Sometimes, if you want promotion, you need tried and tested, not improvement players.

An older head, bit of maturity in the squad, good reader of the game, plenty of experience.

Think it was always going to be the case given how relatively quiet the last one was. PSR kept teams quiet last year and now they can splurge. (Unless you are Villa) Mind you the knock on from the Isak sale has kicked a lot of it off. Wissa, Guehi, Gomez etc

Is he right footed? If so, switch him over to the left and have him cut inside. Makes sense.

As opposed to 21 yo Hughes. 26 isnt that young in footballing terms! Arsenal are turning out a 15yo off the bench this season ffs! 26 is fucking old mate!

I think he’s left footed. Seems to score mostly with his left

I disagree. As a CB he could easily have another ten years at Championship level.

No it isn't. The Yamals and Dowmans are a rarity. 26 is not old for a CB, Although I can see why you would think it is with the medias obsession. Give it 10 years and unless a signing is wearing nappies clubs wont sign them. (Granted that could be old players too)

But were hopefully not going to be at Championship level. And if its championship teams we'll be farming him out to once we've done with him, exactly like i said, we wont make much profit on£4m. But sometimes you've got to think what is better? £100m for winning the play-offs? Or £5m + add ons profit on a CH?

Why’s his age, at 26, an issue?
For me that’s exactly what our defence needs. We go and get a 21 year old, it’s likely he’ll make the same mistakes our current defenders do.

Not every signing is about profit . Look at Brighton who signed Milner and Welbeck to add to their youthful squad , it's about balance and readiness to play regularly

This is what I'm saying. I never said it was an issue. I agree we need some experience and grit in defemce. My argument is, is at 26, say he has a 4 year deal, takes him to 30. We wont make much profit on that £4m investment.

Doug says the clubs model is to buy young/cheap, improve, sell at profit to reinvest. Which works so far.... you still need some experience platters amongst the young lads. Im saying that £4m for Wolf is better than £10m for Huges, just at his age, we wont make much profit on that £4m. Nothing wrong with that because, as i said in another post, what's better? £100m for winning play-offs with Woolf? Or £5m + add ons from a Huges sale?

I was a Woolfenden sceptic but £4m is a damn good price. Genuinely thought it would be £6m minimum.

I dont get what your argument is here? Youre literally arguing against me, whilst agreeing with me??!? Im confused?

I have NEVER in these last few posts said profit on a player is most important. Which is why I said Woolf is my preferable signing of the 2, even though we wont make as much profit if we were to sell him. We would most likely make more on a Hughes resale (age being a big factor in that) but I still refer Woolf.
