Albion signing Gilchrist permanently for £1.2m. Good signing.
Bid £20m + £10m add ons apparetlyWolves looking at Hackney. Potentially a honking end of the season for Boro.

Boro having Wolves pants down at that price, never seen him any good against us tbh.Bid £20m + £10m add ons apparetly
He's a good player, even if he played badly against us.Boro having Wolves pants down at that price, never seen him any good against us tbh.
Even got sent off last year up there!!
Not rated by me buts its all about opinions, he couldn’t lace Rudoni’s boots!He's a good player, even if he played badly against us.
Play totally differnet roles to be fairNot rated by me buts its all about opinions, he couldn’t lace Rudoni’s boots!
Completely anecdotal but it feels like a lot of good players don’t play well against us and a lot of shit players have their best game of the season. Ends up with our fans massively over-rating players like Josh Bowler based off one performance 4 years ago etc.Boro having Wolves pants down at that price, never seen him any good against us tbh.

Also Hamer must be on someone betters radar !
Completely different type of playerNot rated by me buts its all about opinions, he couldn’t lace Rudoni’s boots!
Yeah, but I imagine his salary expectations now would be significantly higher, and probably at a point that would not work for us. Ie. We would never make him our highest earner, and if we did dressing room harmony could shatter.COH for 2m would be a class squad player and would be great for the dressing room
If you want better options off the bench than Lati, Collins, Allen, et al, then £2m for an O'Hare isnt a bad deal. Let's face it, we've got 1 of the better starting 11s in the league. Its as and when a player gets injured we start to look threadbare. £2m for proven cover for Rudoni is a steal. If it wasn't O'Hare, let's take that name out of the equation, and we could buy a proven, creative midfielder at this level, that scores and assists regularly, for £2m as cover for Rudoni, there isnt a single person on this forum would say its bad business.So how much should we be spending on bench players?
Would it though? We've dropped £654k a week wage by losing Binks. Surely there's a little bit extra in the wage kitty now?I think O Hares current wage demands would be what breaks the bank for us.
Makes you wonder what Rudi is worth then.Play totally differnet roles to be fair
Similar price I'd sayMakes you wonder what Rudi is worth then.

Also talk of them selling O'Hare for £2m to Legia Warsaw
I don't think he's anything special and certainly no better than Josh Eccles!Yeah, but I imagine his salary expectations now would be significantly higher, and probably at a point that would not work for us. Ie. We would never make him our highest earner, and if we did dressing room harmony could shatter.
I agree, I wouldn’t want him. Just saying his wages would make any deal unlikely.I don't think he's anything special and certainly no better than Josh Eccles!
Not that’s realistic anyway but Hamer would instantly make us a better teamI agree, I wouldn’t want him. Just saying his wages would make any deal unlikely.
We need to look forward and not backwards, and therefore I wouldn’t want us spunking a load of cash on Hamer either, even though I absolutely loved him before.
You think he'll be anywhere near £30k a week in Poland? At a club that last night only managed a 3-3 draw at home with Hibs? I wouldn't of thought so.Yeah, but I imagine his salary expectations now would be significantly higher, and probably at a point that would not work for us. Ie.

People are still holding a grudge
Yes but in the end someone will buy him - just don’t want him in their team when they turn up to the CBS - and dont want to see him relegated
From a blades source they reckon Hamer off to Leeds. Looks to be a loan deal though which means we get 10% of fuck all. Shit news for us
So are you saying we dont need to strengthen the bench? Rudi has a bad injury, then where are we? People are too focused on looking at strengthening the starting 11, and granted, there are areas of that that need strengthening, but its strength in depth where in need of. Cover for Rudoni being a very important position we need.I didn’t have a grudge with him when he left (my posting history will back this up).
I just don’t see it as good business spending £2m on someone who we let go on a free 12 months ago when we could spend said £2m strengthening a poison where we actually need strengthening.
Its less to do with O’Hare as a player, more the circumstance and the need for reinforcements in other areas which are needed more.
Guess that's where Boving comes into the equation, but I wouldn't be averse to giving Sheffield UTD some money for a tried and tested O'Hare.So are you saying we dont need to strengthen the bench?

Ignore the fact we let him go on a free, he's proven, he suits our playing style, he's a ball carrier, can score, can assist, can do Rudoni's job should he get injured. If you can find another player of that calibre, with all those attributes, for £2m or less, id love to know. But Id put money on it, you wont find one.
Even to find his replacement, we dropped down to L1 and STILL spent £5m. If we want to be a serious promotion candidate, a solid starting 11 isn't enough. We need to look at the bench to change games and see better than Allen, Collins, Lati, etc.
And as a "challenging team" we can't rely on bringing in unknowns and building them up. We did that with CoH, we took a chance and built him over time. Did Leeds last season have "improvers" in theor squad? Or did they have proven, quality players on the bench that would easily get in to most championship starting 11s? And this is why the likes of Rapha and Andrews and Brau are limited to cup games and 5 min cameos. Because to win games, we need players to win them. We can't afford to carry passengers. Whether thats on the in the starting 11 or on the bench.
Anyone saying CoH for £2m is bad business is only looking at the fact he left for free. Tale that away, ignore what's gone, and find me a better, more experienced players of his ilk for less? Anyone that doesn't see or understand that is talking utter nonsense imo

I'm unashamed to admit that I'm actually a fan of the Wrexham TV show - it's really well done and I've actually enjoyed their story and rise.
As a result, I was curious enough to give the Brum amazon prime show a watch and FUCKING CHRIST what an embarrassment. It's trying so so hard to be Wrexham it's ridiculous. God why did I do it to myself.
I’m settling down ready to watch Leicester v Birmingham.
I want both teams to lose but, as that’s a tad tricky, I guess a draw might be best for us.
Thinking about it, a mass brawl resulting in both teams getting a points deduction would be good
