Be surprised if this is still the case, likely close to £25m now

Yet wage spend would be bottom 6. I also wouldnt get so het up about the stated transfer amounts for alot of the players because there is an awful lot related to performance, promotion, and sell on fees.
Simms for example is not 8m he was 3.5 with add ons that could have taken it to 8

The wage issue being an important point because it’s why we’ll lose out on the top end free agents and rely on ‘up and coming’ players on lower wages, but higher transfer fees.

Replying to the championship squad of 25. We have 24 players under these rules.
1) Dovin 2) Wilson 3) Collins 4) Tyler 5) Binks 6) Da silva 7) Thomas 8) Kitching 9) Bidwell 10) Lati 11) Van Ewijk 12) Rudoni 13) Saka 14) Allen 15) Sheaf 16) Eccles 17) Torp 18) Simms 19) M. Clark 20) Wright 21) Raphael 22) T Asante 23) Tavares 24) Bassette

This is why it's 1 in and 1 out.
We need to get rid of deadweight like Tyler. What's the point in having 4 goalkeepers
Click to expand...

Of that list of 24, 4 players at least are complete non-factors; Tavares, Rapha, Tyler, 3rd choice GK (Collins/Wilson).

So we have an effective squad size of 20 so it should be no surprise we’re struggling with injuries and so on. The squad depth is lacking.

If we had a first team squad of 25, with 22 outfield players, then I’d be ok with having 3 GKs. It’s too top heavy too; well stocked upfront, CB and GK. completely lacking depth RB, CM and RW/LW.

All fair points so il try be clearer

I'm under the impression it's 1 in 1 out across the whole squad. So for example if Tavares goes, we can then put that towards a CB or CM whatever

In regards to the cash, please bear with on this because he himself isn't fully clear on what's been said.

It's that Doug was getting in / hasn't managed to get over the line investors. Hence the belief that Frank would have cash to spend. Again, he's not fully certain and is trying to clear it up at the game tomorrow, that said investors haven't yet / won't materialise, hence the change of tack in recent weeks that's gone from myself and others on here hearing there's cash to spend, to now being on a 1 in 1 out basis.

Again that second part I'm hoping is clearer tomorrow, so no one hold onto that as if it's gospel

So now Kai Andrew’s has gone we’re looking at the Chelsea loan?

I’d of thought his wages wouldn’t really matter?

Can I just say on this 1 in and 1 out that it’s sensible especially if it’s a cash buy. We can’t just have a bloated squad where seniors don’t make the match day squad and get no mins.

He's in the squad but doesn't count towards the number of players we can have over 21. We could play any player registered to the club that is under 21 like Batwani for example.
Click to expand...
not true,, he is registered as one of the 25 man squad thus the story if you care to read it is about how there is 1 place left in the squad.

Burnley collecting defenders like fucking pokemon cards, no wonder they have the best defence in the league when your formation is 8-1-1

I'd have thought Ashley needs City to be in the Premiership to get the best price.

Maybe he does but could be without his investment the club go nowhere and he hasn’t got the interest in the long term.

Why? Ashley has done what he always does…

Bought a distressed asset on the cheap, improved it and will before long, sell for profit.

He does have the most maturity and leadership in this group of players. Which is like being the tallest kid in Year 1, but even so.

And if we can't get one out, we're stuck with what we've got.

Portsmouth have signed Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden on loan until the end of the season.

Even Pompey are getting players in FFS!!!
