No bedwetting here, just a simple question. Robins has already alluded he'll have to beg for more.

Wright back to Turkey for £9m. O'Hare for £2m and Tavares for a packet of fruit pastilles and a Panini sticker album .

For loans and players with 6 months left of their current deals. Got to be some players who can't get games for Bristol City, Swansea etc.

I think we’ll spend on a hamer replacement

For this Jan, probably enough to sign the no.8 we're looking for. Still got some unspent from the big summer sales and I think we got something from Maddison's sale as well.
Beyond that, I think we're looking at Gyok getting his big money move to afford anymore significant fees.

That is alot. If we get it right I. January could be a very good squad we have for remainder of season and also a massive base to build upon next season

A very good squad? We've now got high earners rotting on the bench, aswell as high earners rotting on the pitch playing out of position. It's bizarre.
Greggs

No chance. We'd be the near the highest spenders in the Championship if we did.

The squad itself would be good though. Form will change. Could be argued it's already started too.
We will definitely be midtable at least imo. Still not giving up on having a go at 5th and 6th myself

A squad of unhappy overpaid players, or a hungry squad of players on a smaller wage. Ipswich perfect example. We'll be lucky not to end up like Derby.

I’d say 6-7 million. We only need a net increase of one midfielder. And I’d go for a prem cf on loan using Ayari’s wages who is send back.

Agreed, I think loans will be incoming, but that we'll hold fire until the Summer to buy players, when there is always much more to choose from than in January, and when many more panic induced poor signings are made.

Our mazy cup run money alone will buy us the Hamer replacement.

Then there's around 10-15 million that doug has kept aside from the hamer deal

I think we've about 7 left after our dealing in the summer. Doug will probably spread that over next 3 windows.

Not sure the simms money is all upfront , heavily reliant on how bandy his legs are in 12 months

But the Hamer money is?

From what I’ve read Simms was £3.5m initially with the rest dependent on meeting clauses. So not just staggered payments.
I think/hope we have 5-7m to spend on a midfielder in Jan.

No I don't own googling, if i did I wouldn't be passing my time on here.
So you don't have any evidence and it was a guess.

Simms signed a four year contract at the CBS Arena after completing his medical at Ryton, joining for an undisclosed fee, which CoventryLive understands to be £3.5million rising to £5m depending on appearances and goals in a deal that could be worth up to £8m if City gain promotion to the Premier League.

Hamer was reported as a deal of £15m Simms “up to £8m depending on add ins” if you want the signed transfer contract no I can’t provide it to you, but you can’t provide anything at all so I still win.
