Chucked Simon Moore in and Danny Cashman just in the hope it tips it over.

This is one of the reasons why most fees are undisclosed. A very good player has been largely written off based on nothing but pure speculation.

Wonder if we’d go with a flatter three with Swift and Ayari or something, and only Sheaf as an out and out DM.

Not that I expect us to get Swift over the line.

If that’s correct that doesn’t feel too bad. Their chairman will want to be bigging up price after saying Kitching wasn’t going anywhere but £4m-£5m being thrown around felt a bit out of kilter with likely price

That should be the maximum. Do the deal or walk away.

Putting them in would make the deal £3 million plus the sell on

I get what you are saying. That of the 100s of players in world football that fit the criteria we are looking at, you can't believe we can't get one over the line.

The problem with that view, though, is the assumption that we have the scouting network to assess all of these players in the detail required and that we have the team to negotiate deals for each of them. That's on top of the 9 signings we've already completed this summer.

Reality is very different. There will be a priority of 2 or 3, and the negotiations for these will take weeks. Some times they come off, sometimes they don't. Seems we have been unfortunate this window in that they have not.

I'm not sure how this has anything to do with the distinction between Robins hoping for ten and "promising" ten, though.

I conflated 2 different arguments into 1 but i'm over arguing now. I will just remain hopeful that we can do a midfielder on top of Kitching as my belief is that we still could very much do with one.

Think I might have made it £500k per league game for 50 games by accident

Sound have invested some of the money we spent on Wright to buy a scanner for the physio room, might have gotten our first choices that way.

He’s more of an 8 than a 10. So slightly more box to box than sheaf or eccles but should be able to play in a 2 or a 3 (as we played last season towards the end of the season with kelly eccles and hamer behind godden and vik)

On the assumption Kitching signs we've gone from having 1 36 year old contracted to having two 23 year olds and a 21 year old as well. It's absolutely undeniable that the overall depth of the squad has been improved and a more solid basis for long term progression achieved.
