I’m not suggesting bidding the ‘trivial’ 400k for such a player.
Considering Twine was what 4m? Who do you want for 400k
also considering Brexit rules make it notoriously difficult to sign foreign players - which top league in Europe are we getting a championship standard AM for 400k?
I'm hoping that's just a random conjuring a figure tbh.I’m not suggesting bidding the ‘trivial’ 400k for such a player.

400k guaranteed championship performer and gives us an extra dimension in the 10 role. If we can get 2 good seasons out of him then it’s good business. It means when we sell Vik in the summer MR can concentrate on other areas of the squad and build another squad for the next 2-3 years.
Look in the league below or abroad for younger players capable of making the step up.
£20 by the old ground.So what's a goblin?

Kastaneer was good
And Hillsner
And Jobello
And Dacosta
Our scouting abroad bar Hamer is dog shit
My missus when she is out on the town a drinking.So what's a goblin?
Clearly it is. According to some, we are now flush with someone else’s money so we can chuck ‘trivial’ amounts at whoever instead of going for Hamer/Sheaf/Walker/Gyo type signings for slightly higher amounts.
And it is ‘chatting rot’ to suggest so. Fair enough from the poster who predicted Haaland would struggle in the PL.
Even if it was that amount it’s 3% to 4% of our turnover which is pretty trivial
Then 2 or 3 times as much for a Sheaf/Hamer/Walker/Gyo isn’t that big an outlay and offers better chance of a return.
24 I thinkHow old was mcgoldrick when he came to cov?
you do realise this fee will be managed by existing cash flow?
Most signings we make aren’t aimed at getting returns
there’s also no assurance there ever will be either as Jodi Jones illustrated
What is the 1.5 out of that list? To say it is 0.5 better than the abroad list is completely disingenuous:Said this before but our signings since promotion:
Abroad:
Bright, Reid (sort of), Dacosta, Hilsner, Hamer - 1/5
Championship:
Moore, Kane, Bidwell, Palmer, Waghorn, Walker - 1.5/6
Prem:
Sheaf, O’Hare, Vik - 3/3
Lower League:
Tavares - 0/1
Its fairly obvious what our best route is.
Have we out grown him?This might be the single worst take ive seen on here and i have read, and posted some utter shite
Goddens signing was one of the most important in years. His goals, in all them narrow wins we achieved in the L1 winning season were literally the difference between promotion and not.
Yes now we've outgrown him but his goals (along with walker tbf that season) also helped keep us up first season back
What is the 1.5 out of that list? To say it is 0.5 better than the abroad list is completely disingenuous:
Moore had one good full season (regardless of how you try and paint it to be a handful of games) has been shite this season
Kane - meh, certainly wasn't dreadful but hasn't worked out
Bidwell - good signing
Palmer - Good signing (only half way through a season so hard to judge but has been so far)
Waghorn - not good
Walker - was our top scorer in his first season and had little impact since.
It is nowhere near as bad as you are painting it.
He’s 32 this year and keeps picking up injuries.Have we out grown him?
Seems to be always injured but a hell of a goal scorer when not injured. I bet even if he doesn't play again this season he ends up our second top goal scorer.
Cyril Regis, Brian Burrows. The list is endless.Anywho I’m now really hoping Paterson joins if only so he can join the long list of CCFC players whose names are misspelt by most fans (cf Tommy Hutchison, Kevin Gallacher, Michael Mifsud)
Said this before but our signings since promotion:
Abroad:
Bright, Dacosta, Hilsner, Hamer - 1/4
Championship:
Moore, Kane, Bidwell, Palmer, Waghorn, Walker - 1.5/6
Prem:
Sheaf, O’Hare, Vik - 3/3
Lower League:
Tavares, Reid - 0/2
Its fairly obvious what our best route is. I’d argue Reid is more lower League than abroad, in which case it’s:
Prem - 100%
Abroad - 25%
Champ - 25%
Lower league - 0%

Can blame autocorrect for this one, but don't forget Mark RobbinsAnywho I’m now really hoping Paterson joins if only so he can join the long list of CCFC players whose names are misspelt by most fans (cf Tommy Hutchison, Kevin Gallacher, Michael Mifsud)
Yes I think I'd give those players more than 1.5/6
Moore 0.5
Kane 0.5
Bidwell 1
Palmer 1
Waghorn 0
Walker 0.5
3.5/6
Palmer is still a 0.5 at the minute. But I agree with the rest.

Yeah ultimately the only thing we can conclude about Palmer so far is he has the skill to maybe be worth his signing, but he hasn't justified his cost so far, so a maybe seems fair, could go either way.Palmer is still a 0.5 at the minute. But I agree with the rest.

Current team status. Palmer is 0.5 as he’s not playing every game really and will likely be dropped if we sign Paterson. Moore has been poor since New Year last season and was dropped by the end of the season. He’s obviously not got a future here same as Walker. Which matters when you’re talking about a three year deal we can’t get out of. Say what you want about Hilsner and Dacosta but their deals won’t have cost us as much by a long shot.
Bidwell is the only signing we’ve really made with Championship experience who has consistently kept his place ahead of others from lower League. And even he might be for the chop if this new lad is any good. And was largely second fiddle to Maatsen.
Outside of Hamer pretty much all our successful signings have been players from Prem U23s.
