If we had spent £5m+ on forwards I could understand. We have spent a nominal fee on Gyo, and got Bright and Waghorn on free's, hardly using a significant budget on them are we.The only reason we are having to field trialists and kids is because Covid has ravaged the squad. I admire him doubling down though, takes a lot of guts to constantly look thick

If we bring in a good centre half and LWB then the squad would be improved from last year. If it’s loans then so be it.Do you think we’ll spend as much on the defence as we have on the attack? Because if not you’re agreeing with my original post.
TIL Godden, Walker, and O’Hare don’t exist.
Every days a school day.
We currently can’t put out a back three without using kids and trialists but sure we don’t need any CBs.
Baka didn’t start a single game last season.
Oh yes I'm sure you are right shmmeee and we spent £1m on Gyo upfront with no clauses in the deal whatsoeverSo you think we’ll spend a similar nominal amount on the defence? Or will we use kids on loan to fill it out?
The rumoured fee for Györkeres was £1m BTW

Rose, Hyam, O’Hare, Eccles, Burroughs, Bright, Godden, Kelly, Drysdale have all either had Covid or been injured at some point in pre-season. That’s a large chunk of the squad.Two players out = “ravaged”
Come on, you’re so confident I’m stupid take the bet. All you’ll have to do is apologise if you’re wrong.
Reported where? The telegraph? Fantastic reliability there.So you think we’ll strike a similar deal for a defender? Why can’t you answer the question?
And it wasn’t reported as “potential” or “rising to” it was reported as a £1m fee.
the season hasn't started yet and he's said signings to come in- can you name a pre-season ever where trialists haven't played for us?
God its so over the top
It was reported as an ‘undisclosed’ fee wasn’t it?So you think we’ll strike a similar deal for a defender? Why can’t you answer the question?

Any yes I do think we will. I think we will sign a defender for a fee and then loan a LWB and CB.
You'll be back at it again tomorrow.I’m tapping out because this is boring to read for anyone who isn’t in this.
If any of you want to take my bet that we won’t spend as much on defenders as we have on forwards you know where I am.
When fees and wages are undisclosed there would be no way of knowing who won this mythical bet. Christ you’re slowI’m tapping out because this is boring to read for anyone who isn’t in this.

Yawn. I think I’ll just put you on mute. Even Keith speaks more sense than you
Did I say otherwise?

With loans. Because we’ve spent the budget. My god you’re slow.
Tell you what, if the window closes and we’ve spent as much in likely wages and fees on permanent defenders as we have on Bright, Waghorn and Györkeres I’ll change my avatar to whatever you like for the season. If not you can apologise for the insults.
Ah, another grendel- “I never said anything like that, I just heavily suggested it”
Apart from goalkeepers in emergency circumstances I’m not a fan of loans although Osti and Sam Mc. were a success they have still left a hole in the defence now they have gone. I hope Robins has some financial clout to bring in a decent permanent centre-half he can build a strong defence round.Loans can be expensive just not a long term commitment.

West Brom just payed £5 million for 1 defender !!! That’s a shit load of money for any championship team to splash out on 1 player.How much do defenders cost compared to attackers?
Guehi was a perfect example at Swansea.We clearly haven’t so will use the loan market but it can for a season be successful if you get it right - we’ve had scores of examples of that
Actually that trialist Saturday looked okay needs another look at but if he joins will need a bit of time to get up to speed but bringing in Cranie aswell is a good move imo.We clearly haven’t so will use the loan market but it can for a season be successful if you get it right - we’ve had scores of examples of that
Charming. And as I said we’ve spent the entire budget. Glad you agree we prioritised the forwards over the defence.

Bloody parachute payments !!!
