Ayari for me is one of the worst loans we have ever had. Out of his depth completely and most of the time looks lost. He needs to go back in January, Brighton paid 6 million for him. Never going to be worth that.
Gyokeres was going whatever, Doug King held out for the best possible offer which was apparently £25million and a large sell on fee. He did brilliant imo.We dragged the vic and Hamer sales out so we could get more money but it never left us time to recruit properly. It looks like it’s backfired.
Vik decided on Sporting Lisbon last January...Doug King did a fantastic job getting the deal done to the clubs best advantage,we will pocket another decent amount in the summer when Vik moves to a top European club (Dortmund would be my guess).Gyokeres was going whatever, Doug King held out for the best possible offer which was apparently £25million and a large sell on fee.

it seemed all the focus was on selling him as we hadn’t done anything until he left and that was 2 months after the play off final. We didn’t know what our budget was. Left us 6 weeks to get cracking but everyone knew we had money that’s why the prices for simms Wright and kitchen are laughable. Ayari was a gamble replacment for Hamer and we’ve banked that money. All a mess.
We did sort of okay last season with an entire defence made up of loan playersBut loans are gambles, Binks looks okay, Ayari not so at the moment, I agree with trying to get loans in January but they wouldn’t be cheap and still a gamble.
Villa loaned in Abrahams whose goals won them promotion and look at them now, his wages though were very high, the gamble worked for them.
We haven’t received £30 million.When we received 30+?
If we want to progress then we need to spend. Could be on playing staff, support staff or facilities but money in a bank account somewhere is not helping us at all.
Some of us who were spot on with our maths and also excelled at philosophy where we didn’t miss the point“Some of us” being those who struggled with primary school maths classes?
You’re the only one arguing that we shouldn’t have spent money.
We should have spent. But clearly the players we spent it on aren’t performing for now at least.
Wow, are you sure you want to discuss maths.so how much do you think we should’ve spent after taking in 30-35m?
It’s genuinely not, he thinks we shouldn’t have spent the money.
…and our outgoing transfer fees will also be paid in instalments?We haven’t received £30 million.
Most of that is being paid over 3 years to the club.
But what you are saying is that we have spent the money badly, so we should spend more.
You don’t fret about the garbage if you unearth diamonds worth £35 million at the same time. Remains to be seen whether Dean Austin is capable of the same.The recruitment by way of permanent signings under Robins has been strange. He's unearthed some real gems, but there's been absolute garbage in there.
…and our outgoing transfer fees will also be paid in instalments?
Well they played like an U21 teamAfter hearing Robins at the forum earlier in the week I am surprised he’s getting so much game time. I know we’re short but he spoke so well about how he managed Vik in his early days, making sure he knew he had to prove himself in the 21’s before even getting a shot in the first half, yet he’s doing exactly the opposite with Ayari
Then again in the next breath he said he wasn’t going to rush OHare back and he needed U21 game time first, then boom, he’s there tonight
Agree, I think Gus was not only a fantastic footballer for us, his presence in the dressing room was monumental to moraleHas to be said , this team are nowhere near last seasons. The spirit isn't there anymore. And I don't just mean Vic and Gus. They don't look like they have the will to fight

I'm already hoping Vik attracts that £100m bid in the summer so we've got something to fall back on to sort out this mess.
Thats nothing we paid 7 million for a seaside donkeyAyari for me is one of the worst loans we have ever had. Out of his depth completely and most of the time looks lost. He needs to go back in January, Brighton paid 6 million for him. Never going to be worth that.
I think it’s still too early to judge.DaSilva - Free - alright
Latibeaudiere- free- decent
Binks - Loan - decent
Ayari - Loan - Shit
Simms - 3.5m - Double shit
Wright - 7.7m - Triple shit
Van Ewjik- 4m - player there, think he'll be good
Tats - 1.2m - good player but MR dont rate him
Collins - 500k - who knows?
Thomas - 2m - wank
Kitching -4m - pointless
So in summary we've spunked loads of money on shit players
Well that’s even worse then, simms and Wright are shocking. Neither want it enough to cut it in the championship. A truly terrible transfer window.Simms signed before Vik left, and we were negotiating with Wright before last season finished.
And for them to be signed off by the manager.King must be asking if he can trust the recruitment to identify anymore players.
