There is a degree of worry that we might be throwing a bit too much around, especially when you look at how badly wrong that can go if we can’t afford it long term, but you also have to take gambles at this levels and spend a fair whack if you want to progress. Just have to trust in the management team and the new ownership,

Well played m8. I thought you were going down the rabbit hole but you rescued that paragraph like a fuckingtrooper.

Transfer fees aside, we don't know how much these new signings have added to the wage bill. I guess it has gone up but not excessively, there was a decent bit of headroom left by some of the departures. We still have a fairly small squad by the standard of the division.

Dunno why everyones flapping about money

We got 17 up front (yes installments) for Vik and more to come from that

400k from Maddison sell on, 3million for the play off run and final gate etc, and lastly freed up pushing 60k a week getting rid of shite who earnt loads of cash like Waghorn Walker and Dabo etc

This isnt money being thrown about that will cause us to be a Derby. Its money being thrown around we've earned

The only thing I am worried about is that if this signing is made and we keep making signings like this then I might spunk myself to death without the help of Saddlebrains.

I'm Surprised we are spending this much. Was convinced that we would spend £4m max.

I still dont think we will spend it all

So we look at
Simms - 3.5
Sakamoto - 1.2
Collins- 800k
Van Ewjik - 4
Thomas - 1.2
Dasilva - Free
Latibeaudiere (nominal)

Out of the 20 million thats come in we've only spent half of that when you look at it. I can see us forking out for a LCB and ST probably taking us up to about 14 spent, the other 6 will be there for a rainy day, another 3 on loan leaving soace for a couple of loans in Jan

Dont forget, Moore will be going soon too

You got to admit, fair play to DK for allowing us to spend 75% of it.

Anyone slightly nervous with these signings. Big money going on them, and we don't know if Robins can actually get quality players when given a bit of cash haha. Nice problem to have i guess.

A bizarre comparison but it kind of reminds me of a director called John Carpenter. When he had to work off a really small budget his films were excellent. When he was given money his films were a bit crap.

I think Robins will be fine though.

Here is my input, I work for a dutch company so I have messaged a colleague on Teams who is a huge football fan in general..

Here is his feedback on Milan Van Ewijk:

"Yes, I've heard his name before. He's a very speedy right-back. Bit like Kyle Walker.
Could be a real valuable player as SC Heerenveen is well known for their Youth Academy"

It wasn't bullying. He got called out for being ITK when a lot of what he posted didn't happen or was nonsense. There's been no evidence of the unrest he talked about. No evidence that DB is off.

And I called him out as he passed of some information I gave to 3 members privately, as information he had - as if he was in the know when in fact, that information came from me.

If you're going to post information on a forum and it turns out to be codswallop, you should expect to be called out on it.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I get that, but he got called out on it and now it seems like a running joke on every thread on this forum. At the very least people should try thinking up some original material, bullying or not.

Also, very excited about this signing.

Agreed - we’re currently in profit by about 10m.

I trust the club not spend what they don’t have
