O’Brien was available on loan but we went all in for Kitching instead.

I understood we were after o’brien. Best player in the championship two seasons ago.

Better than a striker who scored 43 goals that year?

Nothing to do with me disappointed. I don’t think he has settled in the country and if the club gets an offer or we can get our money back he will move on again.

I don’t believe for a minute the club think the move has worked out so far. (Or will)

Going to be a difficult getting our money back for a player you valued at £500k few weeks back.

There’s zero chance of Wright leaving within 6 months, it would make Robins’ position untenable.

Yes Doug King seems the type of owner who writes off £7.7m spend and gives a manager another blank cheque

I agree Matt nothing wrong with admitting it’s not working and reset and go again. DK may even be impressed with that type of management.

We were discussing this today hence my thoughts that wright won’t be here by the end of January. I’m sure due to wrights delayed signing (we were in talks before the play off final) that other clubs were interested and may again be interested. Just mine and some other people I speak withs opinion.

And a lot will depend on the player. If he wants to move, then the club either exploits the chance to get rid or is forced into a sale.

If we offer him for sale in January clubs will know we’re desperate and offer a pittance if that.

Move Wright on as it hasn’t worked?? Madness. How long do you give the next guy, February?

I think it'd be more if someone made an enquiry we'd make out we'd be loath to sell him but if they were to make an offer we'd have to consider it. If no-one does that he'll be staying.

How about getting Wright moved on and a punt on Langstaff from Notts County?

Is this like your prediction of Wasps imminent demise that came in 3 or 4 years later?

So he's definitely leaving in January but subject to a bid of £7.7m which will certainly be difficult to obtain, gotcha.

*unless they’re a youngster who has room to improve I should add, 26 year old probably not.

Nothing would surprise me. would we take a loss on Wright ? I think we would, but of course he has to be replaced & we maybe need two.

He's always looked decent against us, but I'm not sure he's got any attributes that we don't already have.

He’s also their captain so I doubt we can offer anything they’re not already

In fairness, that would help the operation relegation which seems to be currently going on.

Obviously the recruitment ‘team’ have copped a lot of flak for the summer dealings, but ultimately I think our biggest investment should be into our recruitment team. We could really do with a multitude of roles/disciplines if we’re being run seriously. Genuinely wouldn’t be averse to throwing some sizeable (for the role) salaries out there.

I agree, just 1 decent signing could pay their wages but atm I think most of our new players could all be losses on resale
