Your insight on this has been useful. One question I have though is how old is the info?
As @Jimmy87 was saying we were chasing high calibre players until the window shut. Therefore, the situation has potentially changed materially from the time you had your info, which I think may have been July iirc?
From King’s POV in July, if we were confident in bringing in a marquee CM who would’ve been a high earner… what would be the point of signing James on 12-15k per week to be 5th choice CM?
Whereas the situation now is that we’ve not signed that marquee CM, Sheaf is injured and the window has shut so we can only sign free agents. In July this transfer didn’t make much sense and now it makes complete sense for this season imo.
It's definitely not from Robins himself, he's not that stupid and is very professional when it comes to these kind of things
He’s happy to chuck another million on a gamble of a 23 year old but not for short term gain. Does he think every signing he’s made will make a profit?
Do you go to a coffee morning which is also attended by Mrs. Robins?
He's been extremely blinded by the fact he walked into the club and had 2 young players make him 35 million quid profit straight off the bar and now feels he can do that with every player we sign
Again, as I've said before, King needs to understand you cannot run a football club the way you can run any other business
Perhaps that what he want! Take the compo and run!No idea Clint but if any walk of life if you leak confidential info that criticises your boss / company owner you get fired …..

Yes good luck with that …: DK only gave me £45m to spend and without MJ I couldn’t reasonably he expected to succeed in my roleHow about effective dismissal?
Makes sense just difficult to get on board with it that makes sense since we have no confirmation and last we heard you lost your sources.I'd love too but at that point it's just words. No substance to it without who it is attached to it if that makes sense
Touchy, we leaked your sourceCan we stop discussing Robins being a double agent please? It's fantasy
Sounds silly but would Robins talk to James about a deal his boss wouldn’t allow?Nothing differwnt really to what i posted the other day
Robins has approached Doug to say can we have Matty James to help with the middle for at least this season
Robins and James have spoken and happy for a deal to take place
Doug, thus far hasn't agreed as he feels it's 'dead money' e.g, can't make a profit on him at a later date. Similar to the aversion to loans

Nothing against you as I’m sure you’ve heard it just becomes he said vs she said without it if that makes sense?
Feck it, let’s get X whipped up again. Might be able to get a Matty a contract through the wonderful act of cyber bullyingYea I get that completely mate
I'd love to be able to post it all over here but as we've seen it ends up on Twitter within 30 seconds and causes a shitstorm for everyone involved
So what is James actually asking for?
I assume he'll want 20k ish. Would think we'd want to just give him a 1 year deal but he might be asking for more?
Can see DK hesitant to give him a 2 year deal when he's unlikely to play much next season.
Would have thought 12 to 15K. With his age and at this point in the window. Wonder if he wanted more earlier. I think the real killer would be how long, imagine he would want two years and we’d ideally want him for a year (if we can get a cm in by January).So what is James actually asking for?

I think so yea, my worry is if we have an awful season players like Wright and Simms will plummet in transfer value if they have poor seasons personally.He’s happy to chuck another million on a gamble of a 23 year old but not for short term gain. Does he think every signing he’s made will make a profit?
Exactly, for the want of a senior pro to get the best out of all the rest!I think so yea, my worry is if we have an awful season players like Wright and Simms will plummet in transfer value if they have poor seasons personally.
Maybe King needs a fucking big dose of realityNothing differwnt really to what i posted the other day

If it makes it on twitter the George smith with pop up saying he's ITK and Big JH will guarante it's happeningFeck it, let’s get X whipped up again. Might be able to get a Matty a contract
Aside from Robins officially saying he's back in training this week?I think the urgency and need for this deal really depends on Sheaf's situation. We still have had no official communication of what's happening with him after that 20 min cameo.
we have the same midfield that was not bad all last seasonif DK does not sort out some help for MR in the midfield to get us through to January window closure I shall seriously consider not renewing my ST come next May, £550 for the promise of a free season ticket if we go up will be a bloody CON!
Aside from Robins officially saying he's back in training this week?
no, Robins said he is back for Watford in the same interview.That was superceeded by these comments from MR:
"and that’s why it was a massive blow on Thursday when we lose him for however long we are going to lose him for.”
Asked what he’s done, he revealed: “It’s an aggravation of the same injury. We trained at the stadium on Thursday and he caught the ball on the end of his toe when a cross came in and he was taking a touch to shoot but he actually didn’t take the touch, tried to shoot, one touch. It would have been better if he’d have taken a touch because he wouldn’t have got injured, but the ball came across at some force and then he went through it and it just opened the injury up again, so it’s given him a little bit of pain.
“So whilst it’s not the same injury as before, it’s an aggravation. The break has come at a good time, I guess.”
Sheaf was out for five weeks with his initial ankle injury but it's unclear how much longer his recovery will take after this setback.
He's been extremely blinded by the fact he walked into the club and had 2 young players make him 35 million quid profit straight off the bat and now feels he can do that with every player we sign
Again, as I've said before, King needs to understand you cannot run a football club the way you can run any other business

Their value is not affected by our league position unless we get relegated which is highly unlikely.
Yeah was gonna say on CWR he said it was nothing muchno, Robins said he is back for Watford in the same interview.
