Pretty sensible to look abroad if you have good scouts and data analysis team. Tends to be a fair bit cheaper.

It’s also massively more exciting!

Gunnarson and Dolemaux (sic) were decent. That french midfielder wasn’t too bad either. Championship signings. You do tend to look abroad at “our level”.

Edit - beaten to it!

So much cheaper for a foreign player with the equivalent skills than an English one. Pretty much add an extra zero if buying from a fellow championship club (or a top league 1 player).

Best to sign as many EU players now before they all need work permits...

Actually, that's a really good point. Could become more difficult after the end of the year. Could also push the price of British players up again.

Be surprised if we went back in for Giles. I imagine he didn't play much for a reason.

What's the obsession with Giles coming back?

He's barely played 5 mins for the club.

I guess it's fine as long as it's not a sign of Dabo leaving. Still feel strongly we need to strengthen up front.

Sign of where we are at! Dabo in League 1 valued at between £750.000 to £1 million - in the Championship valued at 12.5 million

Think the long term plan might be to move Hyam into the middle of Rose and Pask. Great to have McFadz around to backup/revert if it doesn't work out as well as planned.
Click to expand...

I agree. Fadz as back up this season with the intention of getting Williams and Drysdale ready to step up as cover and eventually challenge for first team.

Probably a condition from Norwich that Mccallum had to play all games because of the loan back.

Or...

Robins had a settled club, getting results week in, week out and there wasn't really an opening for Giles.

Bit pointless but I've been looking at some past transfer activity of successful championship teams. Leicester built over a few years but their biggest hits are probably within our ballpark. Just takes good scouting. They got Mahrez for 450k from the French 2nd division. Sold him for 60 million Vardy was 1.1m from the lower leagues.

The system Robins has put in placing regarding recruitment seems to be providing more hits than misses, and always within our budget constraints.

The championship is a different ball game, in regards to footballing ability and budget. Even taking those facts into consideration I fully believe in what Robins has setup and that his recruitment will be clinical and fully researched (with maybe a gamble like Kastaneer thrown in) this summer.

I think Robins's past forays into the championship with other teams will have taught him what is needed to succeed in that league. He comes across to me as a man who learns from his mistakes. Hopefully his turbulent times at other clubs is to our benefit.

Also in fairness, the Thais subsidised some huge losses before they learned their lesson in the market.

I can definitely see that becoming the focus of a chant for him next season.

"Kelly, show us ya meat! Kelly, Kelly, show us ya meat!"

"Get your meat out, get your meat out, get your meat out for the lads!"

Julien Dacosta, at the end of the Chamois Niortais contract, will move to Coventry City next season. The West Midlands club is promoted to Championship (English League 2). The formalization of a 3-year contract should take place within the next 24 hours.
