Potentially. A sale may be needed in order to finance Plange coming in but that might not necessarily equate to him being a direct replacement for Gyokeres. But on the flip side of that, Palace wouldn't be sending Plange here unless there was a promise of consistent game time.

I haven't wiped his achievements though really have I? I've said he's been an important part in our journey since he's been with us. But we've clearly outgrown him as a club - and now due to his position in the squad, worsening injury struggles and overall ability comparative to his team mates...

It's pretty obvious one will have to leave. The contracts of O'Hare and Hamer are unsustainable comparative to the club's playing budget and there's still interest payments to SISU and the EFL loan looming.

Well why mention it then when it was an own goal - apart to scrape the barrel in an attempt to prove your weak point. I don't have an issue with him. I have an issue that he's a high earner comparative to his ability and position in the squad.

So you're happy one of our higher earners is third choice, is injured for at least half the season and at best will only come on in the final 10-20 minutes in games? He didn't score the equaliser against Blackburn that was an OG. So you're more than welcome to 'go on' but his assist for...

So if he showed proof of funds and those funds were there, then why did he miss the deadline then? Rather than bizarrely defend Kirchner fingers should be pointed at Quantuma and questions asked how on earth he seemingly bypassed the proof of funds check when there were either no funds in the...

I'd take the losses with a pinch of salt as they're largely made up of interest that is yet to be paid out.

Well they didn't as they've yet again failed to find a buyer.

They've dragged this out massively for their own commercial benefit and opted for the least credible bidder out of the interested parties. How is it not their fault?

I think that was fairly obvious from the outset to be honest. Per reports from Scotland even when he was scoring for fun it was widely suggested that he was only ever going to succeed in the Scottish Championship. I remember at the time of us apparently showing interest even a friend of mine...

Off the pitch maybe but he doesn't really offer a great deal on it. Kelly is very much a L1 player and that was shown even when he was starting games during the season 20/21 season.

Then how do you explain it? It was hardly a tactical masterclass when it was glaringly obvious Sheaf was always going to be first choice, or at the very least ahead of him, going into the new season.

By that logic should we have given Doyle a two-year extension following promotion to L1?

He was always going into the season as 3rd choice with Sheaf - the much better player - signing on permanently. So I say again, was that a wise use of our severely restricted budget?

He's played an important part in our journey but his contract extension was driven by nothing more than sentiment and it was a poor decision that will only serve to restrict our ability to bring players in. He's likely to be 3rd, perhaps even 4th choice depending on Eccles' role next season yet...

Kelly's contract extension was nonsensical. His injury record is worsening, he's the wrong side of 30 and he's nowhere near good enough to start at this level. Yet he was awarded a 2-year contract and became one of our highest earners.

Suggested that Burnley's loan repayment to MSD isn't as severe as first thought. Supposedly owe around £15m this season.

It's not really all that surprising Cardiff lost out. Financially they're a mess. Their chairman has repeatedly mentioned their financial struggles and the need for external investment and has also reiterated over the past two windows that there is little money available for transfers. They...

It would roughly be about that yeah give or take. Of course I get the point, if anything I've just highlighted it.

A sale might give us more room to manoeuvre with regards to offering transfer fees but it certainly won't increase our fixed playing budget if that what you were getting at. The budget is the budget and that isn't likely to change.
