Ultimately he’d outgrown us - he’s a premier league player and then some. Good luck to him, what a contribution he’s made here.

Bit much - they’ve just had 3 years in the Prem, and objectively a huge club. Plus money is obviously a massive part of it, I don’t know anyone thinks it isn’t. If we offered him 40k a week, he’d sign.

It’s the horrible error by Panzo that leads to that, he had a bit of good fortune for sure. These things happen though, players are only human, he hadn’t played a lot, was probably very nervous, and in a position where you’re very exposed if you dawdle on the ball. As others have said, great...

If we keep Hamer I think we’re seriously in the conversation for automatics. We are absolutely going for it.

Yeah but clearly for there to be interest, it's a positive thing. Especially given they're all a level above where we are.

Must also be said that almost all teams that get promoted have loans players that play a vital role. E.g. Burnley and Sheff Utd I’d say Brentford are the exception rather than the rule, though if we’re trying to replicate that then I’m all for it! Plus we needed more players - so this was...

Yeah agree with all of that, and acknowledge no perfect system. I'm not arguing this solution isn't the right one either, but if we're successful and get to the PL there's a risk it creates a closed shop. Therefore the argument that younger/newer fans will struggle is 100% legitimate, which...

Demand is increasing significantly though

As an FYI Leeds eventually had to change their system as it became a closed shop, as others have said, so there’s merit to the argument.

As others have said. The great thing is the profile of signing. We’ve a proper chance of success in the next 2-3 years with this group, but if we fall just short we’ll have more assets we can sell at a profit. It’s exactly what we needed to do, and we’ve done it. Robins, Adi and Dennis have...

Get the fuck in!

That is interesting. Fear these three are fairly strong by usual standards. Southampton and Leicester had a long stretch in the Prem, and Leeds are Leeds, despite being a bit of a mess, still have a very able squad.

Have a friend who is a Dutch football analyst at a football data/stats company. Positively he said; - Only good thing about Roda this season, nearly got them play offs single handedly - great finisher, extremely clinical However he also said; - Seemingly better strikers have left that league...

He’ll go inside and keep them guessing, hard to defend against agile players with low centre of gravity

Well I think that’s probably wrong. There’s only him and Watkins who are recognised strikers. They’ve got conference league football too, so plenty of games. Unless they want to sell and need the cash for FFP.

Villa will keep him, he’ll get plenty of game time

Jesus, an overhaul. They’re not players, just some young lads, who are probably grossly underpaid. Could do with someone with more experience helping them perhaps, and more investment.

Yeah might be right. I’m sure that market is also dictated by the volume of fans just backing their own team too, so bookmaker reducing liability.

Yeah if we’re looking at offers of £6-7m at most, perhaps the club are taking a view that it’s worth keeping hold of him, and seeing where we end up this season. If we do keep him and we sign a couple more quality permanents and then get 3-4 exciting loans in, we could be right up there. Would...

He was playing end of last season too. Think De Zerbi will want him there
