The burning question is whether you trust the current regime to get get it right or not. Therein lies the gamble.

Particularly large sums of money clubs don't have . Too many on here have short memories and those of us old enough remember the ridiculous Richardson "soft debt" quote when he had accumulated shit loads of hard debt.

Agree totally. Too many ill considered knee jerk reactions . We've seen it on numerous occasions previously

Get your point that not all come off but being a gambler at heart I prefer this approach as the track record of the current scouting and coaching teams is pretty good

The Kiwi could be the same

I can see both sides. Browne is a ready made solution . This guy is only 22 having played in the Champions League with massive potential for improvement. Our coaching staff have a great track record of player development. Browne would have little resale value , the other scenario is the...

I really hope for his sake that we see the same Saka. Lovely guy who during his rehab spent the time constructively learning English. Such a positive attitude generally.

We may have a Kiwi solution

TBH I hadn't even thought of that but it seems a sound idea. The converse of that though is that possibly Championship teams throw the kitchen sink at promotion and end up financially screwed if they don't go up. I suppose that there is no ideal solution to the money pot beast which is the PL.

We need a few players who can mix it with nasty bastard sides like Preston.

I agree to a degree but I do think that the parachute payments continue too long and are higher than ideal . They do tend to encourage over spending with the knowledge that there is quite a significant level of protection if a club gets relegated.

His confidence grew as the season went on and he really began to put himself about . He's a proper handful for any defence and his overall game improved hugely over last season. He's developed a great understanding with Haji and this combined with Saka coming back will push him on even further ...

I do think that if we add a quality DM we have plenty of licence to attack. I don't envisage any side side will relish defending against our first choice attacking unit.

I would really like to know which Peterborough player we have first option on. I can only think that we wouldn't have this in place unless we seriously intend to follow it up.

The key to opening his potential is giving him the freedom to use his his creativity with less emphasis on the defensive side of his game. This is perfectly achievable with 2 quality DM ' s alongside him. Torp has undoubted ability and I have every confidence that MR & Adi will make the most of...

I agree. Whilst Sheaf has been consistently good he's by no means irreplaceable. A Sheaf sale for £12-£15M , Browne on a free with the Kiwi and there's plenty of cash left over to strengthen the other areas on the pitch needing attention. Any Vik sale thereafter is then just a massive bonus.

I was beginning to think along these lines. If some of the transfer links are to be believed there is the possibility of a fair sum of money being thrown at transfers

Does the shop buy independently or is it in the hands of a merchandise management company ? Years ago when I owned a printing company we produced stickers/kit hangers for half the PL clubs , mainly pocket money products. Doesn't seem much of that type of product around nowadays.

Were we to sign the midfielders we are linked with would it not be the case in the context of a Simms injury that Wright starts central and EMC starts on the left ? Don't see the point of signing Windass

I agree completely. That midfield trio would be second to none in this league with plenty of depth as back up . Certainly potentially very exciting times.
