Never heard of him, but a quick look at YouTube highlights (I know!!) would suggest to me that he would be competition for O’Hare, as well as giving another option in AM if we went 1 up front. Warming to the idea.

But should we stay up that’s about to be topped up with the TV money which is significantly higher than in league one, and a soon to return of crowds of 20k+

A lot of those fees you talk of have covered 2 years of Covid and playing in Birmingham on reduced crowds. Besides, who’s to say we won’t sell at Hamer for a significant sum and buy 3/4 players that way

We've been very clever with Hamer by making him play shit since January so that we can keep him for the real playoff push next season.

All clubs have been the same for over a year to sell players you need clubs with money to spend outside the Premiership I doubt there’s many if any.
To get good dollar for Hamer you need a prem club to want him.

Exactly the type of player I like to see us linked with. Good age, decent experience and will improve.

Yes he was. Pre SISU , he was one of the Paul Fletcher era “Operation Premiership” junta.

He was interviewed on Radio Manchester last week and I recognised his name from being part of the Coventry board for a while. Good start for him as Wigan won away 4-1.

This lad's been short-changed if he doesn't get his name sung to the tune of 'Shang-A-Lang' at some point in his career.

Versatile forward, would be best in a two but can play on either side of a three. Great for the versatility we obviously really need.

Him and Jodi probably would be battling for a place in the front 3 or 4

Jodi could definitely play a wide role but he was being trained up as a 10 before his latest injury so he’d be competition for O’ Hare too.

If Rovrum go, would you want a cheeky bid for Ladapo

I've always rated him.

I'd take their keeper too, assuming performance against us wasn't a one off.

Smith is the better striker I think, if we don’t keep Biamou he would be a good target man option.

I wouldn't; given our budget limitations I prefer that we continue the strategy of buying young players for not much money whom others have overlooked.

If you *buy* proven Championship players (as opposed to take them at end of contract for free, which I'd be fine with), you are either:

- Spending money on players who aren't good enough to take us forward to the next level.
- Spending loads of money on one player to the detriment of strength across the team.

Buying proven, quality known-name players is for the wealthier clubs.

I am very disappointed you went for the Bay City Roller option over The Chiffons.

Dear me, what's the world coming to.

Jodi will never play for us again, meaningfully at least.

The last time we saw him actually play for any period was the first half of the season in League 2. We had brief appearances in League 1, including a nice goal at Southend. But that is it. When he came on against Luton or Barnsley, can't remember which, he just looked like a boy who would be sat on by a defender as good as say Dabo. If Shipley and Allen are not good enough for Championship I am pretty certain Jones isn't either.

Were he with another club, we would not be touching him with a barge pole.

Not physically robust enough, even before the injuries. The demands of the Championship will be much too great. Not sure why we renewed, unless it is a charity case.

So it’s an opinion. Your post made it sound definite, like you knew something, like you had inside information, like your opinion had value.
