The potential Gyokeres money rather than Dave King money is making the difference, although he does appear to be letting us keep most of it, unlike SISU. However these two new signings represent a clear break with previous purchasing strategy, so has risk, Look at the squad that finished last season
Out of contract / tiny fee: (8). Wilson, McFadz, Bidwell, Allen, Palmer, Maguire, Moore, Dabo
Youth: (3) Eccles, Howley, Burroughs
Converted loans: (3) Sheaf, O'Hare, Gyokeres (try before you buy?)
Strategic purchase: (2) Godden (£750k), Hamer (£1.5m?)
Loans; (5) Panzo, McNally, Doyle, BNC, JWE.
Clearly spending £8m on a strategic purchase is way beyond the usual model. As is spending £2m on a 26 year old import - hope he is Hamer rather than Hilsner.

Understand?

...a further thought.
We may have been a bit fortunate in the last two seasons. Because Covid so affected revenues for all clubs, our low budget model with an established squad was more resilient compared to otherwise better funded clubs whom you might think capable of 'buying' promotion - like Bristol, Swansea. Because of their reduced revenues they were unable to do so.
This year may be shaping up for a return to the pre-Covid norm, when a number of clubs were spending big in an attempt to reach the nirvana of the Premiership. Obviously based on the last two years' performance, DK hopes we can join the Championship elite. However the cost of doing so may be rising.

Some forum posts are shit and people should *have* probably kept them to themselves.
Obviously not but ffs last thing I want to hear at a footy match is some fat, balding tryhard getting all red while spluttering out cringe songs no one else will sing to.
Something simple like the Ben Wilson song would suffice.
Simple, because there’s nothing to say until there’s something to say.
Fuck sake our fans absolutely love a moan don’t they. Will find literally anything to whinge about
Haven't seen Boros signings, are they as exciting as the youth team nobody's Sunderland have signed or the generic Championship players Birmingham have signed that everyone was creaming about last week?

There's definitely a song to turning Japanese, something like:
He's got you turning up and turning down,
And turning left and turning right.
We've got Tatsu Sakamoto, we've got tatsu Sakamoto I really think so

First song I thought about was Holding Out for a Hero.
We need Tatsuhiro
We’re loving Tatsuhiro down City’s right … etc
Probably best left to @gruffskyblue!

I presume everyone has heard of the late, great Ryuichi Sakamoto from the fantastic Yellow Magic Orchestra? Would be fantastic to use something from them but they tended to be instrumental. Shame.
@Otis will know.
We would be buzzing if we had signed Jobe Bellingham and some Benfica players, we are buzzing over a Japanese Winger who has played in Belgium for one year.
Looks skilful, though. And there's something exotic about it-we've never had a Japanese player, have we? Or even Asian? He screams "potential cult player".
A Benfica B team player? Really wouldn't be buzzing at all

Your posting history suggests otherwise
Yup. Love a bit of YMO. Actually have some of their stuff on vinyl somewhere.
Definitely more instrumental than vocal, but many of their songs have vocals and lyrics. I can only think of Behind the Mask and Nice Age of the top of my my though.
I will try and wrack my brains.
Going Loco, Saka Sakamoto
One minor change. Going Loco, Saka Sakamoto.
