Appreciate it mate. Truly in love with this club. I got family in the agency world so I can drop a few tidbits. Im just another poster but probably as good of a scout as you'll find on here.

Up until last summer £2 million was the most we’d spent on a player since returning to this league.
Agree to a point. Palmer offers something different especially from the bench so unless silly money is offered I would keep. Looking for abilities to perform at a higher level Allen would be first midfielder out. I would keep though until RB cover is also sorted as if you get a new midfielder, MVE gets injured so Eccles has to cover there, we are getting down to bare bones

Seriously though, I always thought we had some money to spend this summer. It's the season to make a real play, the league is weaker despite some of the crap posted, the owner and the manager see it too.
I didn't see this one coming but looks a great pickup. Expect to see 2 more in more needed positions.

If we don’t go up we will easily make up the shortfall next summer from a minimum of Sheaf, MVE and Simms.

Don't sound good.Links not working for some reason but it was a tweet from Obikwu. Text is:
‘Minor setbacks, major comebacks. I will continue to put my faith and trust in God through the difficult times and through the good times but I still believe everything happens for a reason‘
This happens to us so many times with youngsters about to go out on loan who then get injured and it just completely stiffles their progress

As stated before just before I lost my info, Palmer and his agent refused to sign a new contract as they have a vastly inflated view of how good Palmer is
Contract was withdrawn
I'm pretty certain he will be sold, this Bassette can play in the 10 if needed as can Rudoni, Torp and EMC.
Palmer doesn't fit here anymore
Even more mad that there are still posters on here that are sceptical / unconvinced about King…….Mad to think……The summer window where the only permanent transfer we could do was Palmer (for undisclosed £) …… That was just 2 years ago

I know posters think we could make a real go of it this year and I hope we do, but also the kind of signings we’re making don’t seem like short term solutions. So if it doesn’t work out this season, we can still have most of these players here next. The ones that aren’t here anymore won’t be sold for peanuts either.
Might seem too good to be true for some. I can’t really fault the guy so far.

Surely, surely this signing indicates we have others lined up, they know we are short?!

Leonardo Lopes, 25 CM/DM from the Belgian league currently a free agent and has played in the Championship for Hull. Eyed up by quite a few championship clubs apparently, would be a great freebie signing. Something tells me we've looked at him since we've been quite active in Belgium recently.

Think we need to look at strengthening our forward line too

These signings are fantastic and I'm sure it's all ok, but I sort of would like Doug to reassure everyone that all this money being spent is accounted for and we're not overspending trying to reach the promised land. It probably won't happen, but I would like it to. We've had our fair share of homelessness and financial ruin. No more please.
Agreed. Looks like Kings trying to get the club on sustainable footing so if we don’t get promoted, we have the ability to sell players for decent money to reinvest in the team/squad. SISU started with this model before the financial crisis but soon stopped reinvesting and moved to the ‘let’s distress ACL and pick stadium up for nothing’ model which wasn’t particularly successful
I’m guessing it’s why King wasn’t willing to blow hundreds of thousands/millions on Jan loans on the very outside chance of promotion last season. That’s just gambling

Nothing in his tenure so far has suggested the slightest risk being taken
I just don't see him leaving without a replacement. If this guy is the replacement, then that's fair enough.

Gotta look across how we play
Tend to be 4231 and 433
Out wide we are covered, Tats, Raphael, Haji, EMC
In the 10 (if we play it) we have Rudoni, EMC BTA and this new lad
Palmer isn't on cheap wages and will barely play. And with 1 year left Douglas will be looking at taking a few hundred grand profit on a bloke we signed for nothing
He’s invested the vast majority of the income we secured for vik and Hamer when he could have simply pocketed it. That in itself is a calculated gamble with the pay off coming if we get promoted.

He kind of already has. He has said several times we will be self sustaining and have no real debt.
