Well, they've improved their team but it depends what you mean by decent business, they've overpaid for just about everyone. Most of the players they've signed aren't the sort that would increase in value either.

They urgently needed to get a Championship level squad and I’d say they’ve done that. The team that got them promoted would have been slaughtered at this level. Not super up to date on the financial rules at this level so don’t know how much they have to worry about resale value, but happy they’re overpaying from our perspective.

A wide player yes. Could even make it a loan to turn permanent if we're short on time.

Can't see us signing someone we haven't been linked with at all yet with this little time left. You'd have thought if the Rak-Sakyi deal was on then we'd have heard something concrete by now
Click to expand...
Is the Rak Sakyi deal on loan? If so, you're right. It is not like we're waiting on sales to provide funds to make the signing. If its a loan, it can be made at anytime surely? Or were we waiting in Sheaf to go before replacing him. Needless bringing in a loan to cover a player that hasn't left. Squad places and all that.....

Yes, plus it’s much older and they’ve spent too much on assembling it. Try again.

Although it makes sense feels odd Sheaf has gone and does leave us light of quality in depth in the middle.

That side could beat any side in the league, but it’s cost them a lot and Doyle aside doesn’t have much upside over the next 2-3 years.

It does for now with Eccles unfit, but if nobody came in it would be manageable until January.

I doubt they are concerned with the upside. Their focus is staying in the league, and if they do they'll spend a hell of a lot again

Not much upside on Doyle either, as Man City have a buy back option. I'm glad we don't do our business like them.

Fulham agreed a deal with Chelsea of £22M for Tyrique George. To think some thought that he might end up here on loan !

Pleased Sheaf has moved on.

Some great games blah blah but was one player I never really rated: not progressive enough, backward passes too often, scared to shoot, often had the ball nicked off his toes.

6.5m?

Crazy money.
Click to expand...

At his best he was one of the more progressive passers from his position in the division. The role Torp now plays didn't suit him and Grimes is just better at deep lying - best for all parties.

Patrick Roberts is crap. If people get annoyed with our wide players goals output he'd have them pulling their hair out.

We can't really control what other clubs do, i'm not too bothered about anything our rivals have done today really, although i would like us to look after ourselves and do something soon. Anything really at this point.

3 I would think would have a chance. But the rest would not.
