And Hamer wouldn't get anywhere near Leicester's team.
It’s far more likelier. Hardly loaned us a player in and around their first team - he’s been on loan to a team in the same division and not one of the bigger ones
There is not a chance in the world we're paying 18k a week to anybody
Standard goals/assists youtube compilation (compulsory shite music included), but does look pretty decent
I would imagine anything like that would've been voided as part of the loan contract to us.
Don't forget Callum Wilson was sold after we'd done all of our business. Imagine there is a small amount available from that.
Unlikely - but given we’re in a strong position to stay in the league, Its an extra 300k to solidify out position and get the 10 or so million forThere is not a chance in the world we're paying 18k a week to anybody
We need a striker 100%
Yes agreed, you've seen Wycombe try and recruit in that position in the last few days but the best they can muster is a youngster on loan from Leicester. I trust Robins will find someone he sees fit.Pretty certain they’re trying but it’s the hardest position to recruit well for

A small Donald Trump million dollar inheritance you mean? Swear it’s over like a mil we get from it!

We need a striker before the Wednesday gameJust got to be patient, we’re not in an immediate rush.
Sunderland in for Kevin Nisbet from Hibs. Best striker outside the old firm in Scotland. Worth us going in for?

I know Horgan hasn't pulled up trees this year for Wycombe but he has certainly given them a different dimension. Nisbet has 5 years on Horgan and plays a different role. Hes scored goals everywhere hes gone, but youre probably right the cost he holds probably would not be representative of what we will get.Check how Daryl Horgan’s got on for Wycombe this season

Aside from John McGinn I can’t think of many successful SPL to Championship transfers.
The issue is especially prevalent with SPL strikers who have moved to the Championship.
I think people underestimate how poor the SPL actually is.

Dykes is doing OK so far for QPR, but he did cost them £2mStephen Fletcher was broadly successful if not the most prolific
I don’t think it’s as bad a league as some suggest but outside the Old Firm most SPL clubs would struggle in this league. Aberdeen and Hibs could perhaps make a fist of it. McGinn was a huge talent but he’s an exception.
Dykes is doing OK so far for QPR, but he did cost them £2m
He's scored 1 goal from open play in 20 games. The other 4 are all penalties.
He's been really poor
Personally, I actually think overall the league is probably worse than people suggest. The significant transfer fees spent on players who have found consistent success in the Scottish leagues, but struggled once they made the move over the border proves that. With notable mention to Scottish strikers. Lyndon Dykes, David Goodwillie, Kyle Lafferty, Gary Hooper, Kenny Miller, Stevie May (Scottish Champ), Jamie Murphy (granted, a winger) are just a few examples off the top of my head. Flipping my point on its head slightly, look at the example of Leigh Griffiths. Had a fairly average half a season at Wolves in League One, then a year later he scores 30 goals for Hibs.
In the last decade, I can't think of a Scottish striker who has consistently scored goals upon his switch from the SPL to a Championship club apart from Ross McCormack and Steven Fletcher. I'd have to check on that though.
The primary issue with the SPL is that there is a significant split in quality within the league which is probably why some players' stats and performances flatter to deceive. You have the Old Firm who are probably upper Championship standard, Hibs and Aberdeen upper League One and the rest a culmination of lower-end League One and League Two. The split in quality is a lot more widened than it is in the Championship - or the rest of the EFL for that matter. It's a bizarre league.
There's of course been a host of great players to come out of the SPL. But without a doubt there's an unnecessary premium attached to relatively sub-par players within the league which I've always found particularly odd given the overall quality of said league - this applies also to the Scottish Championship.
I asked this very question of hearts supporting mate of mine just last week. Possibly still playing in Holland was the answer.Whatever happened to Andrew Driver, the flying winger??? some on here were creaming at the thought of him hahahahah
