I don't get why they didn't just say business concluded.
I don't think the communication has helped at all
There’s a reason they’re all still free agents, no one wants themplease let’s not start this with all these junk free agent players
He looks like a man whose opinion you can rely uponThis is my favourite response to Ipswich letting Woolfy come to us. Feel it's very on brand for this forum..
This window has been wack. The saving grace is we own the stadium that is what save the hierarchy all the criticism. Kept hearing about 2 lists they had at the end of last season of targets, guessing they lost the stayed in the championship list!
And still Lampard never seemed to rate him by leaving on the bench, Eccles is an ok midfielder who lacks concentration at times and also follows the same standard Sheaf set by givin the ball away in stupid places
The reaction to Austin is crazy.
Look at the last 48 hrs for almost every club, even the champions Liverpool. Their biggest signing in the final day and one long term target missed.
Why do we think we should be able to operate in a different way to every other club ???
Probably changed when we spent £40m on a stadium I'd imagine.
Absolutely. We are a much better clubI'm sure he's coming to us after turning down Wolves .....
Bitcoin I heard!
After sleeping on it.Insanity if we saw us the last two seasons and thought what we needed was fewer players of quality.
I doubt we paid cash.
It wasn't a curveball, they'd have been working on it for months and King explicitly said that it wouldn't affect the transfer activity.Regardless of how we or who paid it, I definitely think it was a curveball.
Even before the stadium, it was pretty clear we needed to sell somebody before buying.
We've balanced the books nicely now. I know people won't like that because there's a clear desperation to get promoted.

The reality of the situation is that we haven't had offers for our players we thought would materialise and we've not been able to get our targets over the line because of it.
When injuries, suspensions and being knackered hit, our bench looks like this...After sleeping on it.
We have the best right back in the league and another right back( who's pretty versatile) on the bench who would walk into more than half the teams in the league.
We have 3 absolute top quality centre backs. Top 6 material. Lats as back up isnt bad at all.
A better keeper than Wilson and Collins.
What's not to like.
Kept our best players. We will still likely have on the bench vs Norwich:
Simms
Asante
Eccles
Allen
Kane Hesler
Thomas
Bidwell
Wilson
That's a strong bench!
Not to mention arguably the best player in the league.
I remember he was good at Derby but what level is he at now?So looking at our squad and squad size, we’ve got three spaces we can add.
Imagine the priority is a left winger, CM, and a ST (as assume Asante will be used on the RW now).
Tom Lawrence seems an obvious one, played under Lampard before and covers both EMC (right footed left winger) and Rudoni. Don’t imagine he wouldn’t fit within our wage budget and seems a quick fix to our wing depth.
The books will be interesting but as we saw with a decade of sisu ultimately meaningless and have no impact on the clubs success on the pitch. I don’t think it was but if you’re saying it was promotion or stadium IMO we made the wrong choice.
I get that, I just think we need the cover on the wings now especially when so much of our system relies on it.I remember he was good at Derby but what level is he at now?
This is an extract from the Scottish herald
"After three years at Ibrox, the 31-year-old has moved on at the end of his contract following a campaign in which he was a bit-part player.
Lawrence displayed his ability throughout his Gers spell but was never quite able to put it together consistently to become a key player, with injuries playing their part in that."
While I am not immediately against another Patterson type signing, I would personally prefer to put his wages and signing in fee (which as you say will not be cheap) towards a top quality addition to the team in the new year.
What everybody wants to hear after a successful summer of recruitmentwe just have to get through till January with what we have
That’s the concern for me and why I’d be looking at free agents especially now where we have a week to get fitness up.We have one of the best 11’s in the league

Can we still not get loans in? Not sure on rules this yearThat’s the concern for me and why I’d be looking at free agents especially now where we have a week to get fitness up.
We are going to get injuries to our starting 11 it’s already happened with Sakamoto. We are currently way too reliant on luck in this regard imo
