Forogt about him. Yeah a throwback signing for around a mil him.
Rudoni I like but we massively overpaid.

It’s not exaggeration. Other than Saka and MvE who has been worth their fee?

Anyone’s guess what the real Rudoni fee was to be fair

Say that about any transfer but transfer market have him EMC and Kitching as some of the most expensive L1 players of all time.

Oh absolutely, the moneys been squandered.
Anyone that knows abit has realised this now.

Can’t really, other fees are out in the open eg what we paid for Wright. Who for the money we’ve paid is far too inconsistent

You can see the decent pros on the pitch, Sheaf,Eccles,Bidwell and Rudoni even when not on the top of their game show some desire.
Wright,Simms e.t.c just look disinterested. the sort of players that drive you mad because they have the ability.

I’d argue that Sakamoto was a bad buy aswell, only suitable for certain games.

literally just come from a thread with someone saying the Wright fee is bollocks.

Maybe we should try Andrews later in games not as a starter get him involved youthful exuberance and all, it will give the fans something else to slag the team off at the very least

Pretty much
PLEASE GOD watch the replay and tell me again that this is as a result of Sheaf “faffing” about in midfield.
Van Ewijk blindly plays a pass into an area of the pitch Sheaf isnt in. He took the easy option and killed Sheaf.
Sheaf lunges at the ball to try to win the challenge, but already on a yellow couldnt go in full blooded.
Absolutely unbelievable you look at that and call that.

Feel Bobby Thomas is a 2 million Centre half, feel he’ll forge a very decent career.
We overpaid for pretty much everyone else bar Sakamoto, Thomas and MVE, frustrating
Recruitment has been v poor since badlan left let’s be honest. We made some poor signings under his recruitment like kastaneer and jobello but we got a hell of a lot more right than wrong, now it’s the other way round

The lack of effort by some is pretty evident. I doubt it’s intentional but a confidence thing for the most part.
Next game MR has to play players who have some confidence and/or resilience and/or commitment about them.
Who ticks that box that isn’t currently playing I don’t really know! Bassette has a point to prove, probably Binks too. Ability wise he’s poor, bur even Taveres would put the effort in.
Don’t know the answer but the lack of effort is frustrating and sounds like isn’t helping team camaraderie either.

Creative accounting I think!

The problem is if Sheaf wants to leave in Jan then he better start performing because he’s made no difference to the midfield.

You said every penny has been wasted so yes it was exaggeration.

If the choice was between a 2nd booking and conceding a stoppage time goal to lose the game… it’s an absolute non-starter, you take the red card.

Seen them for over a season now and wouldn’t sign any of them apart from MvE and Saka if given the chance again.
Matt smith

I’d have signed Wright as well, apart from that completely agree.
Thomas too maybe actually
covcity4life

Wright??
I still think Thomas will have a good career as a CB too
Dovin looked good to me also

Not for £7.7m with his consistency. When he’s good he’s very good but when he’s bad he’s rubbish.

I still think him going was one of our biggest losses in the last few years. The man who scouted two lads who'd both go on to become the best players we've had since we got relegated from the PL and we let him leave...

Simms and Wright scored almost 20 goals each last season. That’s not a waste.

ok so if we could sell the following for the fees mentioned in january and rebuild with hopefully the Gyokeres money would you take it
Haji £5m
Simms £4m
MVE £8m
Kitching £1m
EMC £2m
Gyokeres money £6m
so in effect £26m to rebuild effectively needing
3 full backs
1 centre back
2 midfielders
2 forwards for that money

Simms £4m

We’d do well to get that much for some of those.

Yeah mate let’s sell the forwards that scored almost 40 goals last season for £9m combined, genius you are.
Say£30M as sheaf will be off too I'd wager, of course, but might be a team built for L1 rather than Prem dream?
