Don't think we'll have any trouble raising the funds tbh

Haji is n odd one for me, nagging feeling is that he'll agitate for a pre-world cup move but then there is an argument to say he'll want to be somewhere settled to give himself the best shot especially off a long injury.I think Haji might get some mls interest and they seem to be able to pay a few quid now.
people are saying Dunne was he the QPR no 5 that played right back? He is so slow it was like watching Dom Hyam with lead in his boots

Yes just read this also, interesting.So apparently there’s an option on Sheafs contract which takes him to 2027.

Wonder its naturally reached the end for both parties however? Id love fully fit and committed sheaf to stay for the record.
Where did you see this? Puts us in a strong position if it is time for him to move on.So apparently there’s an option on Sheafs contract which takes him to 2027.

Could say The same about sheaf, don’t think he’ll have as much interest as everyone or he thinks
Lampard mentioned it in an Andy Turner article. Presume its from the press conferenceWhere did you see this? Puts us in a strong position if it is time for him to move on.
I don’t think there are any MLS teams beyond ATL who would be prepared or able to pay the fee we would want for Haji.I hadn't thought of this but it's a valid point. Would imagine Haji wants to make a big push for the World Cup squad and he probably won't get the visibility for that in the Champ.
Atlanta spent big on Latte Lah in Jan and if he hits the ground running you can imagine MLS teams will start circling.
Fantastic news, still think he goes this summer but puts us in a much stronger position.Lampard mentioned it in an Andy Turner article. Presume its from the press conference

He knows him, which is why he is usually found pushing pro-Sheaf propaganda!
I'd take him as a squad option even if we went up i think. I think you need to be smarter than 'buy the best players in the Championship' to stand a chance of staying up, but i really like him. Also wants out it seems, almost left in Jan.I was impressed with Wouter Burger for them again on Saturday, wouldn’t mind him at a cut price if they go down.
If that back heeled effort had gone in it’s probably goal of the seasonI'd take him as a squad option even if we went up i think.

The one that narrowly went over the bar second halfWhich one? He tried it about three times
Can play full back and wing both sidesIf we were going for a Stoke player then Manhoef would be the one for me . Would sort out a lot of the right sided issues within the squad

No, it expires in the summer.Don't extend Allen. He's already here next year instead he?
That's a lot of money for Sheaf though. Not ready to drop into a Prem side and a lot of money for a Championship side.Initial understanding of the summer (provided we remain in this league) is that the left back has been identified and in initial talks already
Collins will go, as will Burroughs, Howley, Tavares
How many of our assets go depends on Viktor. If he moves early in the window, expect only Sheaf to go
If he doesn't, one of Milan or Haji will go to free up the funds
Looking for around 6/7 for Sheaf. Add that to Viks sell on (6 million if he goes for the release clause) that's a decent kitty to get in a LB, CB, RB understudy and Sheaf replacement
All depends on how much churn Frank feels we need, he's getting a tune out of the squad at the minute so may feel it's just depth we need.
Personally I'd say:
Outs:
Milan (£10m), Sheaf (£7m), Eccles (£5m), JDS(£.5m), Collins (£.5m), Lati or Binks (£1m), Rafa (Loan), Bassette (Loan)
Ins:
2xRB, 1xLB, 1xCB, 1xCM and 1xRW
Should be looking for starters at RB, LB and LW. CB should be experience but probably be rotation with Thomas and Kitch, Darling would be ideal. RB and CM should be young squad player who are progression planning.
That brings in £24m and we can expect another £6m for Vik so should be plenty going around for us to make upgrades.
With the left over budget we should be looking to make signings like Bassette who we can add value to over the next couple of years and future plan.
Oh thought next year was the extensionNo, it expires in the summer.
If he doesn't, one of Milan or Haji will go...
I'm starting to think we may look at another CF in the summer too, and I'm fairly certain given the 433 seems to be Franks favourite system that we'll look for a right forward too.Initial understanding of the summer (provided we remain in this league) is that the left back has been identified and in initial talks already
