What’s happening here. Saw him score at the CBS and thought he’ll get a big move. And he has!

Easy. Wright Simms Sakamoto.

I agree we’ve invested exceptionally well this summer. Rudoni, BTA and EMC are real coups for me. But this is the Championship. It’s an utter dogfight. If we have decent luck with injuries I’d be disappointed with anything outside the top 8. I also suspect we might have to fend off some late...

We’re doing some really shrewd business this summer. Mason-Clark, Rudoni, Thomas-Asante in. In the Championship you need lots and lots of goals. We look really strong up top.

Not sure the opening premise is correct. Case in point = England. Team balance is just as vital. That said I agree we do have some of the best players in the division. And almost certainly one of the top 3 managers.

It’s never easy here is it. Hours after the great news about BTA we’re already selling off Wright and Simms!

ASAP

This is a massive signing.

Don’t get the negativity for Kitching. He and Thomas looked solid for a good chunk of last year (Kichings first at this level). He’ll turn out to be a fantastic investment.

What a weird activity deciding who will play on the left, right etc is. Someone will start. Someone won’t. If they don’t start - tough shit - work your way in.

Pre-season so I still don’t think anything matters until Stoke. But EMC looks extremely solid business. Also, it’s human nature to get excited about new signings but Allen has such value to this squad. Dovin was assured.

I have my doubts as to whether he’s good enough to be a real top class prem striker. He’s done well in the champ and in a middling league. Still, I’ll not care as long as we get a load of cash.

I’d say Kitching and Thomas are good enough as first up options. Binks and Lati are useful but slightly behind the first two. It’s about priorities. We haven’t got endless cash. I wouldn’t be looking to spend a lot on another CH. We are weaker elsewhere.

Stamenic rumour leaked saw him signing elsewhere. No rumours is a very good thing.

And thats exactly what your squad is. If they weren’t considered able to start they wouldn’t be there. It’s why we’ve offloaded the likes of Moore, Kelly and Godden. But you’ll not find a club in the world where the strength in every position is equal no matter who starts. That’s just not...

I think that’s the whole point that’s being made. We won’t have starters and “back ups”. We’ll have a squad.

Yes. Squad is the relevant metric.

And caliber

Good statement. For me reads like more transfer business to be done.

End of July. Prem teams juggling their squads before releasing loans. Those squads are not yet complete as push normally comes to shove in August. We sit at the end of both those processes, either waiting for loans or waiting to see if any of our sell on clauses are triggered. It’s quite...
