The budget will be well below average for the division still. What we do offer is an attractive style and that we don't stand in the way of players moving to bigger clubs. We're known for developing players now.

Listening to a podcast the other day where someone said they expect more championship clubs to begin with minus points next year due to do financial crisis
Would imagine efl will be lenient on ffp but who knows.

He was linked to ac Milan last month, surely if there’s anything in this it’s a loan

Westbrooke is likely to have limited game time. He's not really someone we can try and convert into one of the DCM's as he doesn't have the desire in the tackle.
So for ACM ahead of him you've got:
O' Hare - direct runner
Allen - box-to-box
Shipley - box-to-box and long range shooting
Then I think you're at Westbrooke with his passing ability. He offers something different to the others and it would be nice to have him stay but if we need to strengthen elsewhere someone somewhere is likely going to have to leave and it's probably our most overstocked position.
Then you've got HilBner who can play there who we've just brought in. Jones who may be able to do so as well. Jobello I think would struggle and prefers just being a proper winger and Kasta needs to improve massively to get anywhere near the team.

Completely agree, Westbrooke shadows his opponent and never seems to challenge, to me he also has the feeling of Luke Thomas he looks like our best player having an off day . Makes great runs and interplay with little end result,he has great potential but isn't fulfilling it.
Team spirit was immense last year, If he is unhappy let him go and don't let the spirit be tarnished.

If Westbrooke is unhappy then I agree, let him go.
If not I d far rather keep him and let Shipley go. Westbrooke is by far the better player with more potential to grow. Sadly as he s “ not one of our own” he wo nt get as many plaudits.
Only my opinion of course

Excellent. I’ve just updated Julian Grays in that case

With the greatest of respect, I don’t think Robins picks his team based on who’s been at the club the longest. They both had injury free seasons last season and Shipley made 31 appearances in the league to Westbrooke’s 25

God you haven't a clue, Allen is a completely different player from Kelly

Compare the number of goals each player scores. If you then accept Westbrooke doesn't tackle, not sure by what measure you call him far superior to Shipley?

I know we like Chelsea players but Tammy is a first teamer. He won't leave them just yet
How do we know that, how do you know that ?

Lucky to get £500k for Westbrooke - much as I like neat players like him. If he is not a regular for us, why should anyone pay more? Bayliss was a regular and has more potential, so scale back from that.
I agree, in his unfussy way Shipley offers more. Left sided, does the grunt work and gets some good goals.

Didn’t really know much about westbrook before last season and didn’t think Shipley would cut it in L1...the latter proved me wrong and the former did more than ok. Personally think championship is a step too far for both...but happy to be proved wrong again during the next few months

Both players are young, and can conceivably get better with age.
Shipley is 23 in September, and I think he’ll develop into a decent Championship midfielder.
I also like Westbrook too and wouldn’t want to get rid of him. Unless, he’s had a fall out with MR or is having a disruptive influence on the team.

I don't think that'll be far off. We asked Dave Boddy back in February who intimated his wages would be too high for us if BC took up his option.

Well we seem to have money going and buying an unheard of German. You do know that by going upto the championship we get roughly about £6.25m more, it’s worth looking up what you get a year being in League One and what you get in Championship.
What I couldn’t believe is you get the same money if you come 4th or if you come 18th
What I am also banking on is if Bournemouth also sell Wilson

Sorry, was being facetious. What I really meant was that I don't think we'd get him for £1.5m (let alone his wages).
Who told you that ?

There is not a chance we would get him for as low as £1.5m
There's a lot of far worse players who have gone for far more in the Championship.
