Join the journey, increased ST by 50%
have we really done enough to keep him? That’s the million dollar question we’ll struggle to really find out
Join the journey, increased ST by 50%Yes Hamer is far more important to the team. I could sort of accept us losing him if he wants to play in the Premier League but not if we have decided not to pay him what he is worth. As you said earlier we would really need to spend the whole fee at least if we want to be competitive next season. The only player I saw in the Championship last season better than Hamer was Diallo so it will leave a massive whole in our team. Not sure a couple of 2.5M players will do it.
No it doesn’t I totally agree but we paid peanuts for both and made them into great players , who’s to say our recruitment won’t be as good again with more to spend ?
Brentford sold Watkins and replaced him with Toney , just an example but there is opportunities to do the same
He was back in action today@GIMOC tell me theres good news
Who would you look at going for Martin? Genuine questionBrentford sold Watkins and replaced him with Toney , just an example but there is opportunities to do the same
Brentford had an established scouting network they'd built over years, ous have been here about 5 months.Brentford sold Watkins and replaced him with Toney , just an example but there is opportunities to do the same
O'Brien from Forest.Who would you look at going for Martin? Genuine question
someone from our division??
Yes but both Hamer and Gyokeres improved over time. New players bought at those sort of fees can't be expected to immediately perform at their levels of last season.No it doesn’t I totally agree but we paid peanuts for both and made them into great players , who’s to say our recruitment won’t be as good again with more to spend ?
Yeah like it, can’t tell if the massengo links were a wind up from Greggs I’d have himO'Brien from Forest.
They haven’t though have they ? Gus has been with us for 3 years , Vik for 2 , Sheaf another well scouted …Brentford had an established scouting network they'd built over years, ous have been here about 5 months.

That’s my point we can allocate more for players so they will be further developed while still taking a gamble on a few unproven playersYes but both Hamer and Gyokeres improved over time.

There’s no way King would let him leave on a free and it would be madness to even consider it.You can't ask fans to join the journey, get recore season ticket sales (at an increased price), get record shirt sales, only to sell your two best players.
If money was tight I can understand it, but we've got £20m coming in from Vik. Even if you can't agree a new contract, that buffer allows you to gamble on keeping him for another year and him walking away on a free if we don't go up.
Adam Wharton at Blackburn stood out both times we played them last season , would love a Simms type bid for himWho would you look at going for Martin? Genuine question

Fair point.That’s my point we can allocate more for players so they will be further developed while still taking a gamble on a few unproven players
Judging by this summers recruitment have they been missed ?The recruitment department that brought them in have left.
Was superb at their placeAdam Wharton at Blackburn stood out both times we played them last season , would love a Simms type bid for him
Forest wanted £10m in Jan and he's been linked with Sheff Utd and Leeds, no chance he's coming here.O'Brien from Forest.
We’ll sign a replacement before Gus goesDidn't Robins say a while back that people need to be realistic with their wage demands if that was directed towards gus then he probably has a replacement lined up and will have known gus is unlikely to stay

Bit early to say that when none of these players have played a single game for the club yet.Judging by this summers recruitment have they been missed ?
You not excited by Simms and Sakamoto then ?Bit early to say that when none of these players have played a single game for the club yet.
Cautiously optimistic but waiting to see them actually play for us, especially Sakamoto who is a real unknown quantity.You not excited by Simms and Sakamoto then ?
He is but he was his clubs player of the season in the Belgian first division .Cautiously optimistic but waiting to see them actually play for us, especially Sakamoto who is a real unknown quantity.
How many of us had heard of Sakamoto a couple of weeks ago. Potentially exciting addition but agree we have no idea yet how he will play for us.Cautiously optimistic but waiting to see them actually play for us, especially Sakamoto who is a real unknown quantity.
who though.To be honest I’d kind of like the ballsy nature of replacing Gus with say a 10 million pound player rather than a few 2/3 million pound players
don’t know why, intent I suppose
Chris Willock at QPR ?To be honest I’d kind of like the ballsy nature of replacing Gus with say a 10 million pound player rather than a few 2/3 million pound players

I don’t knowwho though.
He will go for a similar amount to Gus thoughI don’t know

Wharton is a shout tbf to Martin
Yeah like it, Gus can cover cam and cdm so we can explore a few avenuesChris Willock at QPR ?
