Just to appease you this is the photo. Marcel is bottom right, or is he?

Pretty much and Sakamoto has played games at WB, AM and even LW before. That’s my reasoning and it could be wrong.I'm really unsure to be honest! Thats why this signing has got a few stumped.
I don't know a lot about the player, is he purely a RW?
Does this mean that Rudoni is out for longer and we will see Esse playing more in CAM.
Find it really bewildering.
He’s reportedly cost €5m we better see him for that money!I’d be surprised if we see him this season, it’s a 4.5 year contract for a reason
We just need to appreciate the fact we are able to sign these players , as i said before in another thread money clearly isnt the issue it once was and we dont really need to worry about it from that aspect anymore so the talk about why we are buying him isnt really necessary
We got him because we could
Doug always said if we like someone we will invest.
He does and he's been very clear on that in multiple interviews.Theyve Always said manager has the final say

Sakamoto would probably be more effective at crossing if he didn’t have to cut onto his left foot when crossing every time which is why I think LW would be a decent move for him. The only example that spring to mind was his beautiful cross for Haji’s second v Sunderland last season when he had a spell at LWB.
Minny has played most of his games at RW and has found himself nominally 2nd choice at LW with us.
We’re past that? We’ve not been promoted yet…
And it doesnt mean we arent bringing more in
Maybe for 1 signing like Onyeka. No more than that though.I mean at this point in time, hence I go on to say I think it should be paused. Players to get us over the line, probably wont fall into the "model".
Exactly. We bid big for Rushworth and Hughes in the summer. Rejected but clearly money there for the right acquisition.
Maybe not , lets see come mayQuestion is do we need to up our wage cap to compete with the likes of Ipswich Boro Brum and Sheff Utd?

I seem to recall FC Basel beating some big English teams in the past few yearsSwiss league is decent enough isn't it? Better than that Swedish league thats so trendy atm. Looks more exciting than Manneh with the added bonus of not having a huge medical issue that makes him completely unsignable. I also trust that his age is real.

But the reality is that the model is not a single project but an absolute philosophy.I really hope that's the case and not just a "follow the model" signing, where it's not someone to actually get us over the line but someone we hope to flip a profit on in a couple of years. We are currently, past that bit.
In my opinion its no worse a league than the swedish league, which is where Manneh is playing.I seem to recall FC Basel beating some big English teams in the past few years

It's better than the Swedish league isn't it? Always has been.I

I wonder if this guy was behind Manneh on our list.
That’s precisely my reasoning…You realise both Esse and his new lad are very left footed too? Similarly EMC is very right footed. We play inverted wingers.
According to who?Our current highest earner is on £32k a week.
I thought it was 25kOur current highest earner is on £32k a week.

Can't think of any real examples of us losing out to those clubs from a fairly level footing. Sheffield United were having our trousers down when they were a shite prem team and a first year parachute team. Onyeka could be interesting as it seems like they and possibly Brum are interested too. Lets see how persuasive Doug is.Who?
Point was more we tend not to win transfer fights against similar clubs.
The point is that Sakamoto isn’t that successful… Jay Dasilva has created more chances than him this season, as has EMC, MVE, Torp and Grimes. He’s marginally better than Rudoni who has been below par.
In 3 games, Esse has half of Tats’ goal tally for this season and even the entirety of last season (42 games)…
People seem to forget we originally signed Sakamoto to be a wing back when we played 3-4-1-2. There’s a lot of denial about Sakmoto’s true ability.
I'm not willing to name the player, would be unfair but we can compete wages wise with most Championship clubsWho?

Whoever it is they’ve had our pants down. None of our current squad are worth that imo.
Top of the league but we haven’t got one player worth 30k a weekWhoever it is they’ve had our pants down. None of our current squad are worth that imo.

Meanwhile most of Ipswich’s starting 11 are on more
You’re losing the plot
If we want to renew someone like MVE he’ll be asking for that kind of money, and if we don’t pay it someone else will.Ipswich are paying PL contracts. Wright maybe worth £30k that’s about it for me. Who would you pay that to? Torp? Rudoni? MvE? All came from lower leagues and were unproven on signing. I thought the rumoured £25k for Wright and Simms was pushing it tbh.
Also Ipswich are man for man a far better side than us.
