To be clear before we start the rumours about rumours, I never suggested we were in for him, just shouted him as a good option to cover wings.

According to the list above he’s nowhere near on £55k a week about half that.
And it’s good to dream but some think he is on the 09:00 from Euston! Even if we sold a player for £50m, does not mean we can suddenly begin to buy high earners and put the majority on silly money. FFP dictates that.
Just over £3m a year.. approx 58k per week!

if we signed him on loan we wouldn’t be paying the entirety of his wages, don’t be ridiculous
And I for one am not saying we are or would but May I ask what you believe his present club will want us to pay? 50%?? Mmm would rather up COH offer personally

Nobody has said we are. It seems like a transfer suggestion to me
At last, thank you.

Not an expert on ffp but I don’t think that can bother us, we have money in the coffas, no dept and I’m assuming not spending above our income.

My two realistic wingers would be Elias Achouri (dream signing) and Rak Sakyi on loan. Aaron Collins could be a nice cheap option to play across the front line. Would rather him than longwang
solid suggestions. I'm surprised Collins has not yet been picked up by a Championship club

It’s naive to expect a 1:1 spend on transfer revenue in and out.
There’s the fees we’ve supposedly paid, the agent fees and player wages to take into account to. Which is going to increase as well.
To make any player the highest paid player by a margin can be problematic and raise wage expectations of new and existing players. This can cause the wage bill to spiral out of control and end up like Derby and other clubs.
If we end up losing COH on a free, it’ll be a case of Sod’s Law. We had a player of value get a 12 month injury with 18 months left on his contract. The player didn’t want to sign a contract during his injury and the club probably felt it risky to offer such a contract anyway.
From COH’s POV, he can’t really lose. He’s seen the club offer Jodi Jones contracts for his rehab and no doubt if COH goes the same way we’ll keep him. Yet, if he comes back and performs well (which he is), he earns a move away on more money or if we get promoted, gets Prem wages with us.
There’s not a lot we can do in the circumstances.
Not that easy, and a drop in gate receipts/income has a big effect on this. It is a very risky game and probably why the club is reluctant to push boat out on COH wage offer.

They say don’t fall in love with a players highlights..

how much do you think he would cost?

Looks great tbf but the fact you’ve fallen in love with him means we’re not getting him
I’m 99% certain that if we sign anyone else it’ll be some geezer that none of us have ever heard of.

That’s pro football and the higher you get the higher the wage bill it’s simple if you can’t or won’t cope get off train and stay in divisions 1&2.
So we have fixed energy bills? Fixed costs on all staff? No rent increases? As stated, running a football club is not just wages.

Same here, as good as Haji’s been he’s not a proper out and out winger, okay maybe it’s not necessary that we sign a winger but a real quality wide player could take us to the next level. I look at Jack Clarke at Sunderland, without him Sunderland wouldn’t be the half the team they currently are (not saying we should sign him, just giving an example).
At the same time I think Haji’s got a lot to offer so I wouldn’t want to drop him either, could maybe have him as main striker and rotate with Simms? Maybe room to sell Godden then? Just airing some half-baked ideas.

We don't play with out and out wingers. In fact Haji Wright is absolutely perfect in that position

Haji has been great on the left, we don't need a first choice winger as we aren't going to change the system again as that would be stupid
if we get wideman it will be someone to add depth and cover to squad

I was talking about depth more than anything, I think Wright has found his position in this team on the left. But the 2nd choice for either wing seems to be Palmer, who isn’t a natural wide player and two injuries would really put us in the shit.
Bringing in someone who could play either wing, we could offer them minimum 20/30 mins a game from the bench and the opportunity to challenge for starts.
I’ve said multiple times a loan from the prem seems a no brainer.

Absolutely. Amad Diallo would be nice! Yes, I know it's not going to happen.
Diallo has said himself he doesn't want a loan move unfortunately
a mate of mine who I wouldn't class as an 'ITK' but occasionally hears stuff second hand messaged me this morning saying expect one in before the weekend, is this bollocks or something in it?

He looks 2 footed, but only seems to play on Left, if he could play on right as well, would be an ideal option

Was thinking the same, in fact he looks right-footed. I guess it's old-fashioned to suggest he could play on the 'right' side as well as the wrong one!
