Bristol City close to signing Rob Atkinson. Really hoped we could get him. Ugh.

And probably paying north of 2 million quid for him, I'd love to be in that position but we aren't (yet )

A player I've been advocating us signing for months & £1.6m is the rumoured fee. Still quite steep for us yes but, as we've seen with Hamer, if we think he's a genuine investment we might find it. That said, what we're definitely not in position to do is get into a bidding war with richer clubs so can't be surprised.

the fact you seem pleased says it all that we can’t afford a paltry transfer fee

It’s an admission Sisu are not acceptable owners at championship level

Wow, even by your standards that's a massive leap

Why is it? Bristol City

More than he thinks I'm happy with not being able to spend money in his attempt to twist something someone says so he can have a pop at our owners

If we can’t afford a fee like that it’s an admission these owners shop at Aldi and we deserve better

you keep sucking up to them if you wish

How do you know we were even in for him

I don’t I’m pointing out that someone who thinks we are not able to afford fees of that size and casually accepts that with a stupid smiley face is a Sisu stooge

In SISUs defence - didn’t they technically admit this openly when fisher said we something to e effect of we couldn’t afford to be in the championship?

I’m not sure how that’s a defence

Ok take out the opening line - it’s more of an acceptance that ultimately that would be the stance. They openly admitted it was the case.

I mean if we want to avoid stagnating and regressing we need them out. Unfortunately that’s not happening anytime soon

How am I a stooge, more just realistic... Also we are in the state we are in because both our current and former owners spent well above their means and it all came crashing down

The current way is less exciting granted but it at least gives us a more stable base to build on (of course your blind hatred of our owners and current staff will mean you disagree and ignore the logic)

 

[SkyblueDad]

We are about as high as we can be with this lot running the club.

Barnsleyalona losing more of their world-beating squad. Captain Alex Mowatt poached by ex- boss Ishmael at WBA. It’s the end of the world as we know it

 

[Saddlebrains]

As it stands i wouldnt be surprised to see Peterborough above us.

Jorge Grant, Jason Knight, Jack Marriott are good signings

The same Marriott that scored less goals than max last year and has only had one really good goal scoring season in his career

Grant could be a cracking bit of business for them though

Knight a good player as well. Won Wycombe's Player of the Season last year.

Yes they are doing cracking business. I'm sure they are jealous of us signing Moore and Sheaf...

 

[Gibbo]

Just think he was worth a punt, think he’ll have a decent season at Posh.

We are not in a position to take a 'punt'. We have too many of those on the books already. This year the signings have to be rock solid Championship level. The only element of risk can be taken with loans

We won’t sign rock solid championship level

I am still surprised they allowed Robins enough slack to build a League 1 winning team. They must not have been paying attention, or assumed Robins was as incompetent as all his predecessors, and got caught out...

the success of the last two years has been largely due to very successful loans which have been key to the club being promoted and then surviving

Don’t worry they have a production line there and will have two or three to replace him

they will be lining up Bilson as a no risk goalie as we speak

Benik Afobe to Millwall on loan

 

[fernandopartridge]

Grant has never played in the Championship. As for the other two, both relegated last season.

Grant and Knight would both walk into our team

Rubbish

Really!!!!???

No

I like Knight but have never been overly impressed with Grant. 12 of his goals last season were penalties (he also missed 4) and he looks a bit lightweight for the championship

 

[Winny the Bish]

No

Knight would walk into our back 3. Grant not better than O'Hare but a HUGE improvement on Shipley/Allen/literally anyone else we have who can play CAM.

only partly true, the core of the League 1 side was free or freeish acquisitions - Rose, Marosi, Dabo, Allen, MacFadz. Plus inherited Westbrooke, Hyam and Kelly from previous seasons. It wasn't only Walsh and O'Hare. We ceased this route to players last years and switched more to loans. This year we need a mix

 

[saveitforthewombles]

The success of the last two years has been based balancing the books, investing wisely and trusting in the coaching and recruitment staff. It's a different model to the likes of Bristol City and others who (I would guess) are spending above their means. 20k+ a month back at the Ricoh and maybe our situation changes. But would rather we don't gamble money in excess of our incomings and end up like Derby.
