I can't see Bright being on that much either, given his recent past. And surely you'd structure any deal with massive incentives for him to turn up etc, anyway?We've probably split his wages between bright and one of those defenders.
It'll be ok if we get Clarke-Salter, or someone of similar quality, too.
Those two don’t seem to be in the same category as Patterson to me.
I agree, still think we could see a relatively exciting signing come through the door in centre mid.. or am I dreaming?Do get the feeling from Robins comments we’ve got enough left in the pot for one more decent signing. Whether that’s Cranie/Souaré or an actual decent signing not sure.
Reportedly he asked Middlesbrough for the trial rather than the other way round. Has struggled with injuries during his trial and it sounds far from a given he will get a contract (although Middlesbrough have a few injured which could help him). Personally think Paterson is the type of Championship player out of contract who may be in for a bit of a shock in terms of what wage he can now command.Paterson is currently still on trial at Middlesbrough and by all accounts his wage demands were beyond what we could realistically offer.

It was me who mentioned him. I’d love to see it just so I could see what fatso has to say.could be sam mcclelland, i remember him being linked with us if im not mistaken
Maybe Moore the lesser of 2evils.Sarkic who we were linked with but went to Blues (and some people wanted instead of Moore), apparently had a shocker against West Brom today.
Blues lost 4-0 and he was at fault for a couple of the goals.
could’ve had an avenger in walton ffsMaybe Moore the lesser of 2evils.
Can only imagine Brighton have asked for a significant Loan feecould’ve had an avenger in walton ffs
Can only imagine Brighton have asked for a significant Loan fee
He’s available for free mate he’s been releasedCan only imagine Brighton have asked for a significant Loan fee
No he’s not they gave him a 1 year contractHe’s available for free mate he’s been released
He’s going to CheltenhamHas anyone else heard Dan Crowley is signing?
They had a similar deal as Ostigard. Took a year option upHe’s available for free mate he’s been released
He’s going to Cheltenham
He's not, Cheltenham rejected him after his trial (as did Doncaster).
0% chance he's coming here though.
He needs to get his career back on track somehow, a lot of these people you would think were good earners are in for a real shock in a few weeks. A lot of the leagues bigger paying teams either can’t sign players or are happy to wait.
Looked very comfortable in the Netherlands, maybe he could go there ?He needs to get his career back on track somehow, a lot of these people you would think were good earners are in for a real shock in a few weeks.

A lot of truth in that piont and agents now face players with less money being offered or not playing unless premier League players and not before time.He needs to get his career back on track somehow, a lot of these people you would think were good earners are in for a real shock in a few weeks.

Does this go for fans aswell? I mean people keep talking about underwhelmed they are about signings? Shouldn’t they also be in the position to accept we may not sign the players we actually want?
the good players are still in demand, and can still command more than we can offer -see James and Walsh
I still don’t understand this reasoning. Players have to drop their demands as it’s a buyers market. So team willing to expand their budget (as we apparently have) should be able to get better quality not worse.

Im guessing there is a still a significant jump between the wages players we need to take us to the next level might be on/want and what we feel we can afford. You only need to look at the mess Derby are in and some of the wages clubs like Sheff Weds were paying to see how clubs overstretch themselves in the championship. It’s unviable but might take another window or two for players to realise this….but even they’ll still be some clubs willing to take a punt on getting to the promised land
The alternative is gambling on L1 players who might or might not step up.
See I disagree, the good players will have 3/4 teams after them. The likes of Bright and Moore are probably cheaper than usual.I still don’t understand this reasoning.

but your James’s and Walsh’s will still be in a position to ask for higher wages
You’re going to have to explain like I’m 5.
Good players will always have suitors sure, but as fewer clubs are spending there’s fewer suitors for the same number of players no?
No there isn’t, there is always the same number of suitors for the better players. There’s only 2/3 clubs that haven’t brought in anyone. The championship still has a number of clubs with parachute payments, Bristol still have a billionaire owner. Everyone is after a finite of good players.You’re going to have to explain like I’m 5.

sure, the crap or declining players are going to have to lower their wages becuase teams will be prioritising their budgets on the better players.
