The more i read into this the more bonkers it seems (for us). We've apparently been looking at players like Vente and Dragus and have now put in a bid at a much higher rate than the figures rumoured for those two. On the face of it, really exciting to see us spending this kind of money but it does feel a bit 'shit or bust' this season now. Going to be an exciting start to the season watching all these new players come in and settle/adjust....a far cry from Mowbray only being able to spend his pound once or scratting around for the likes of Barrett and Maguire-Drew on loan.

All I hope is the Manager and Adi have scrutinised these players as well as the recruitment team. Looking at the career stats was very poor in the German top flight and also ineffective in the Danish league and has now caught fire!

No. A club with limited funds is buying a 7 million pound player without due diligence. They probably made the decision on a whim.

To be fair I’d have Sanderson, Bielik and Dembele.

A lot of disrespect to the Turkish league, English media done an absolute number on everyone convincing them that the Prem is the only league that matters. Zaha just said bollocks to mid table mediocrity at Palace to join a proper big club, i hope more follow that path.

I fully expect it also. Out if interest what level of interest do you think the manager did on Kasta and Hilsner and Julian de Costa. All signed by Robins from the European market with decent reputations in their leagues. I want it to work but 9m is a lot and much can be done with that. Let's hope he is elite but after some historical signings I am just nervous of big sums.

Kasta
De Costa
Hilsner

Big sums just make me nervous as some have not come off. We need the big money moves to work and I hope he does

I'm pretty sure neither of those fees were more than a couple of hundred K.

Love that America makes their athletes continue education. Compare this to the motd interviews from British players

"Yeah was good. He crossed the ball and yeah I scored. Was good"

They will have done i'm sure, bear in mind also that Gyokeres had basically come to us on the back of two underwhelming loan stints.

Not the only one who tuts when an interviewer asks a player to “talk us through the goal” then?

Bit annoyed it's Leicester away tbh, would have liked Rotherham at home to help everyone bed in.

Get hardest away game out way with a win and we can focus on being centurions or invincibles though

What he did elsewhere is irrelevant, we didn't pay for his history.

Yeah, Bryan. We spent a lot for once, a bit like now.

You said "On the face of it, really exciting to see us spending this kind of money but it does feel a bit 'shit or bust' this season now."

Ahh ok, i don't remember the statement from him to be honest but we did have a few seasons where we chucked a bit of money around in the PL.

The phrase i do remember of Richardsons' was the "getting off the treadmill" when referring to how relegation possibly being a positive for us!
