The reality is if someone would sign Dasilva you’d snatch their hand off and get him off a long contract whereas Bidwell is a steady consistent performer who can be a good squad player at championship level.
Because in the play off final we had 3 loan players + 2 that have left since, that's 5 of 11. Then we've got Kelly and McFadz, that's 7 of 11. That is a team rebuild.

so you’re basing it on the play off final?
so there’s a lot of talk about this year being a ‘rebuild’ for various reasons
What I don’t understand is why, when we only lost two players of note did we have to rebuild the whole squad to go again? well, I say two, we also didn’t have the foresight to go after McNally with any gusto so he signed for a team now threatened with relegation instead, and Doyle, who to be honest was easily replaceable
if we had signed a top quality centre forward and box to box midfielder with the cash, and someone like MVE & Liam Kitching (or made more of an attempt with McNally), wouldn’t we have been in a similar / better place than last season? and yet we, for some reason, have signed more players but appear worse off
No the whole season. This season started with only Wilson and McFadz(who has since left) from last season's defensive unit. Plus Wright, Simms, Sakamoto and Torp have been added to the midfield and attack.
Kelly has hardly been available as usual unfortunately. That leaves Wilson, Godden, Sheaf, Palmer, O'Hare, Eccles and Allen from last year. Hardly last year's team is it? The biggest factor is the whole defence is new and needed to bed in.
Based on what?Dasilva will be on high wages - far more than Bidwell
Based on what?
He just makes this stuff up for players he doesn’t like. He’s been doing it with Palmer for ages and never answers where his info is from. Just trust me bro they’re on millions.
According to capology (no idea how's curate but seem reasonable figures for our players).
Dasilva is on £10,000 a week gross and Bidwell is on £9,231 a week gross.
The fact they are or potentially on a very similar wage doesn't suprise me.
Yeah, that’s what I thought but keep coming back to the Peterborough player we’ve apparently got first option on. People on here suggesting it’s their left back…which also makes sense given EMC joining us.It seems pretty logical to go and get McCallum on a free to be honset. I can see that happening.
Apparently it was that midfielder KypriannouYeah, that’s what I thought but keep coming back to the Peterborough player we’ve apparently got first option on. People on here suggesting it’s their left back…which also makes sense given EMC joining us.
Is that right? Ok. Any good?Apparently it was that midfielder Kypriannou
Come on so much at Peterborough, similar type of player to Sheaf in what he does, just not as good. Would be a very good squad option imo, him or Burrows. Although my first pick would be Kwame PokuIs that right? Ok. Any good?
Burrows is very highly rated , would love to sign himCome on so much at Peterborough, similar type of player to Sheaf in what he does, just not as good. Would be a very good squad option imo, him or Burrows. Although my first pick would be Kwame Poku

Palmers wages at Bristol aren’t even a debate as Pearson was happy to reveal it. Palmer turned Cardiff down as they couldn’t match his contracted wages remaining at Bristol which we did.
What’s the evidence he was on a huge contract at Bristol? Is the Somerset Saddlebrains your source? Is Bidwell’s salary far less than ~£8k/week? Seems like a lot of conjecture here.He was on huge contract at Bristol and when expired their forum ITKs were saying he was offered £8k a week and wanted out. We wanted him in January and Pearson wanted rid but was trying to sign a Wimbledon left back as replacement ego didn’t go. Bidwell was to be shipped out to Birmingham but it all collapsed.

He was confirmed on £20k/week at Brizzle, they were very open about not being able to afford it along with a few others. The idea that he’d get as much moving from Bristol for the cost of a years wages as he did going for £3.5m from Chelsea in a different economic climate is ludicrous. Even before you factor in it was Sisu signing the cheques.
Mostly hearsay but seemingly from the Peterborough end.Do we know that kyprianous the player we got an option on or is it all talk
Every compilation I see these days simply has to have a shite song playing over it.Couple People on twitter suggesting this is the lad we've first dibs on at posh , heard anything @Saddlebrains
