£15m is about spot on. I like Eccles and think a midfield trio of him Sheaf and Torp would be really good. That said we need another holding midfielder to replace Kelly and obviously another AM as Palmer isnt good enough to be 1st choice.I don’t agree about Eccles being first on the team sheet, we should definitely keep him but he shouldn’t be the first name on the team sheet, we need better quality in midfield. Although I do agree that we need a better LB and maybe a stronger CB partnership, it looks too flakey at times.
After some of the performances this season I’m genuinely concerned we’ll end up in a similar position next season. I honestly think King needs to spend around £15 mil to get the squad into shape.
The list of first team players I think will be given the boot:
O'Hare
Wilson
Allen
Kelly
Godden
Da.Silva
Latibeaudiere
Moore
Burroughs
Howley
Binks (loan)
Remember when everyone was optimistic about the future? Lol
Think we are on right path. Enjoy the ride people.
He does that a lot from the right. I’d like him to shoot more often from there. Great chance of juicy rebounds if not goals.If scored that effort would have been a screamer. What puzzled me more though was when he was yards away from goal with a clear view of it but chose to pass.
Always wonder if it's an instruction or just getting a bit nervous close to goal.He does that a lot from the right. I’d like him to shoot more often from there. Great chance of juicy rebounds if not goals.
I’ve thought about that. I think it must be instructions. If not I think MR would see what we see and change it.Always wonder if it's an instruction or just getting a bit nervous close to goal.
If I was Doug I'd agree to provide the funds short term to get the targets in early, rather than having to wait for the sales and risk missing out. Then take the money back when the sales occur.It’s not in our hands on Vik, nor is it really on Sheaf if nobody is willing to pay something acceptable. I get the impression though that we do have our ducks in a row and just need the funds.
Which would suggest if the Bidwell rumour is true that we’ve already sorted a new left back.
It’s not a trivial amount of money though and if the sales don’t materialise suddenly he’s out of pocket to quite a big tune.If I was Doug I'd agree to provide the funds short term to get the targets in early, rather than having to wait for the sales and risk missing out.

Doubt Doug would do that though.
It also creates a pressure to potentially sell at a lower value too.It’s not a trivial amount of money though and if the sales don’t materialise suddenly he’s out of pocket to quite a big tune.
It doesn't work like that. The bank would be the financier. Depends what arrangements CCFC have.It’s not a trivial amount of money though and if the sales don’t materialise suddenly he’s out of pocket to quite a big tune.
Great, so we then end up owing a bank millions with interest?It doesn't work like that. The bank would be the financier. Depends what arrangements CCFC have.
It's how most transactions are done. You don't actually think King will cough up 20m cash immediately do you? Every business has arrangements with banks. Whether you are good for it would depend on Kings ability to back it up, how long the 'bridge' was for etc etc.Great, so we then end up owing a bank millions with interest?
wages , Mason Clark, TorpWhere has the Hamer money gone?

Is the £4.5 million for Kitching legit? Surely can’t have paid all that as the base fee. You also left out whatever we paid for Saka and Thomas.EMC, Torp, and the add ons for Wright and Simms probably. Initial fees for the rest:
Collins - 0.6
MvE - 3.5
Latibeaudiere- 0.5
Wright - 7.7
Simms - 3.5
Kitching - 4.5
That’s 20.3m, which is more than we got for Vik. Add in EMC at 4.5, Torp at 2.5, Wrights add on at 1.3 and Simms up to 4.5 but probably more like 2 for now and we’ve spent ~30.6m. Roughly £18m for Vik and £12m for Gus inwards.
All fag packet but it checks out give or take.
You've also missed off Thomas and Sakamoto which was what, about 3.5 for the pair?EMC, Torp, and the add ons for Wright and Simms probably. Initial fees for the rest:

Oh don't get me wrong, I definitely think that money's been used up one way or another.That was the fee that was rumoured. But aside from Vik it’s all rumours. Figures might be off by £5m either way but it shows the idea we’ve spent all the Hamer cash isn’t unrealistic.
Probably should have added in that Doug probably doesn't have deep enough pockets to do so.It’s not a trivial amount of money though and if the sales don’t materialise suddenly he’s out of pocket to quite a big tune.
Champions League probably, because they would have said, not only are you far too good for the Championship, you are also too good for the Premier too and they would have given us a free pass straight through to the knockout rounds of the European competition.Imagine if we'd had this team/squad settled at the start of the season...where would we be now!?
Still knackered and short of numbers.Imagine if we'd had this team/squad settled at the start of the season...where would we be now!?
