I'm 43 mate!

That's not helping much I'm afraid!

I'll raise you an additional 17.

Welp didn't think Eli's Simms would end up the "little guy" in the new strike partnership.

Mad transfer window this. Can't see this being €9m in installments, got to be heavily weighted to success related add ons surely?

Yep everyone spinning out about the fee has forgotten the initial fee quoted for Simms.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Worth noting that both of these players were unholy flops in English football - American strikers don’t have a great record over here.

That should please you then.

 

[SkyblueDad]

If you've got 2 multi million pound forwards, and both Palmer and O'hare are fit, who do you drop?

Eccles

My favourite story from the online research I've been doing...

Haji Wright booed by Antalyaspor fans following return to action - SBI Soccer

Haji Wright has been on the radar of several European clubs over the past season, and despite a new suitor reportedly entering the race for his services,

Odd that we would spunk so much on Haji but not what was needed on McNally.

Ahh, so the club were keen to bring McNally back on a permanent deal then they made an offer which Burnley deemed to low I must have missed all of that.

Hopefully he doesn’t hear some of the shite some of our supporters spout.

He'll be fine after a saddlebrains handshake

Got Thomas instead, more scope to improve and much cheaper

let’s move on from Luke McNally ffs he’s not Maldini

Managed to watch a few clips of Haji now I'm back from work. Like the look of him. Can see the comparisons to Gyok as his dribbling style is very similar. I would imagine that he will do a lot of the donkey work and put it on a plate for Simms. Its nice to be getting some height in the squad. Is that Binks, Thomas, Fadz, Sheaf, Simms, Haji that are all over 6ft?

Long as Jake Bidwell isn’t on corners

Plus Jamie Allen on Dasilva's shoulders

Would still only be 5”2

 

[Bertola]

From his highlight clips he looks like the player we dreamt Bakayoko could turn into.

Bet he doesn't score with his arse from a sliding tackle though

We're becoming the new Luton Town, but with style.

Spending a bit more money than they did.

I can't help but get the feeling we're either going to run away with the league, or be fighting for survival.

You’ve completely misunderstood my post mate, read the post by Ccfcsparks which I pulled up and then read my post properly.

If we can get Wright in the building, it would be great to not have to rely on 1 player for so many of our goals.

Id agree, either that or somewhere in the middle.

You read it here first

 

[napolimp]

I guess the hope is 2x 10-15 goal a season forwards. Seems reasonable.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Don’t know if he will sign but a deal like this illustrates not only we are going for it but theres on eye on the prem should we get, all these signings the oldest is mid twenties and all except Binks are ours and I fully expect if he is the business we will wrap his permanent signature up.

I can see us getting a lot more goals from CH's and WB's this season too.

Callum Hare and Wilson Ben?

It's all a bit Chaos Theory!

 

[fatso]

Callum Hare and Wilson Ben?

That would be a start!

 

[PVA]

Yeah definitely think the goals will be shared out a bit more this season.

 

[kg82]

Richardson? As in Bryan? Maguire-Drew and Barrett were league two dross. Sorry if ive completely missed something here

I’ve definitely missed your point! What’s Maguire-Drew got to do with Bryan Richardson?!

 

[Hobo]

Odd that we would spunk so much on Haji but not what was needed on McNally.

McNally hasn't been for sale and is under contract for a number of years. We knocked the door and got told to go away.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Gala won the UEFA Cup

They did it with no money, just their strong beliefs.

 

[blunted]

I started a thread a good while ago asking if we thought we could compete with Rangers for players. The general consensus was no as they were so much bigger than us. SISU were in charge at the time so probably accurate and we had not sold Vik for £20 million. How quickly times have changed if it is true we have outbid then for Wright. If this team can gel, O'Hare can return as good as before, and we can keep or replace Hamer with someone nearly as good surely we must have a chance of going one better than last season. Lot of ifs but lets dream.

 

[covcity4life]

With every new starter signing out bench gets stronger too

Must only be 2-3 positions left taken up by young kids on bench now once this goes through?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We knocked the door and got told to go away.

That's not very nice
