Have you got a link for this? All I've seen is a gossip article before he signed speculating at £15m. We also know that there wasn't much interest outside of Sheff U. And that transfers in have been "rising to" certain figures, so one assumes that is the case with those out as well unless specified. I honestly feel like it was nearer £10-12m up front.

Bidwell to Styles is a MASSIVE upgrade. Hopefully it happens.

Tell them to stick Kitching up their arse, get Styles for £2 million as cover for LWB and CM and get Brekalo, job done.

Thought so. So people need to stop saying we've got £35m to spend!

In reality we were never gonna get good enough to instantly replace Hamer. I’d suggest the large majority on this forum haven’t watched him enough to know how much of a gap he would fill anyway, I certainly don’t.

With hindsight I think the 10 signings comment from Robins was clearly made to try and reassure certain players who were alarmed at how thin the squad was at the start of pre-season. Now that Hamer has gone anyway, I don’t think there’s much to read into it in terms of Robins’ squad needs.

Agreed, Styles is decent and is good cover for a variety of players but we’d still need someone like Brekalo and a quality CM for me to feel like we’ve done great business this window.

Anyone know if this is legit? Or just another windup, sounds like someone is on the way in at least. Really hoping for a DK mad sesh on the last day, Evander in, Brekalo in, Styles LWB cover and some Brazilian geezer just named “Dave” for the lols

Brekalo, Styles and mystery CM would be a dream deadline day. Maybe too good to be true. Let's see what happens.

Bidwell is not leaving if we don’t bring in another defender. Simple as that. He covers 2 positions.

I think if we want to have any hopes of top 6 we need another CM and a left sided CB. CM permanent but the CB could be a loan. Striker would be nice too.

We already have a left sided centre back in Luis Binks , when he gets up to the fitness MR requires he's going to be a real asset , albeit only on loan for now

And Latibeaudiere is doing really well at LCB.

We need a defender, I don't think it specifically needs to be a left footer though.

Yep, I though he looked promising vs Wimbledon. But would prefer we have another one too as I think we can improve on Lati.

Ooh I think Lati is getting better and better the more he settles in , which apparently I think all the new signings will
And I'll make a bold prediction that MvE will be our best player

Bidwell is a good defender to have in the squad, will need replacing if he leaves.

Latibeaudiare has been fantastic for us but I see him playing centrally in the future

Any player can be improved on. But to me Lati looks our best acquisition so far.

You would lose his distribution there. McFadz mainly just moves it left or right, only occasionally is he involved in actually playing it out

You would but if Binks passing stats are to be believed I would love to see him get a few games at lcb . Think Latibeaudiare will be captain long term as well as he is a natural leader on the pitch

Not disagreeing with Captain call? But maybe Lati, Thomas, Binks?

From needing 4, we got one cheap loan and maybe someone or maybe not.

Major questions need to be asked of Doug if he fails to get the deals done.

People just don't sign after a phone call and the drop of a hat. Getting deals over the line is complex, especially the ones you really want.
