Happy with this.
In the summer he was rated by Barnsley fans as their best centre half. If he's better than Thomas, then he's a decent signing
Happy with this.It is Kitching
Just been told
Who says we want £5M maybe he’s just not for sale and CCFC won’t take no for an answer.So Barnsley want £5m, we offer £4m. Surely there is middle ground for a deal to be done.
If Stiles has a £2m get out clause, what about £7m for both? Is that good enough value?
But when did we last receive a transfer fee for more than £5m? It’s all relative.We've spent more money than we could have dreamed of and all we get is bitching.
People are saying he’s good enough to play in the midfield. Nobodies mentioning about him not being creative, I think that’s clearly obvious to most people.It isn’t mutually exclusive to think that Kelly shone in that final run-in but also that he isn’t the dynamic/creative central midfielder we need.
What's the net spend after taking into account incoming transfer money?We've spent more money than we could have dreamed of and all we get is bitching.
By position, I’d say we’re only weaker in defensive midfield. Everywhere else is either comparable or stronger.Walked out of the KP thinking we’d be challenging for at least playoffs and maybe even come close to top two.
Our summer has been disastrous since then. Our squad is smaller than last year without having two of the leagues best players in it.
Starting 11 is fine. Could argue that Eccles is not quite there yet but apart from that, pretty happy. Maybe another CB too.Interesting how our fans meltdown about needing squad depth. But anybody who hasn't started in the first 4 League games is deemed not to be good enough?
But when did we last receive a transfer fee for more than £5m? It’s all relative.
Exactly. This would give us 4 permanent centre backs plus a loan. We then have a season to find Fadz replacement for next summerWhys everyone panicking over a lack of CMs, we have Allen to come back, as well as O'Hare to take pressure of Palmer.
CBs wise we are an injury away from having no backup, if Binks comes in, then there's no ready made CBs within the club, we released them all.
It’s as I said after the Leicester game. Bring him on for Eccles or even Sheaf, sure. Bring him on for Hamer and you lose too much.People are saying he’s good enough to play in the midfield. Nobodies mentioning about him not being creative, I think that’s clearly obvious to most people.
He won't be though will he.Starting 11 is fine. Could argue that Eccles is not quite there yet but apart from that, pretty happy. Maybe another CB too.
You cannot expect to challenge for promotion to PL with Liam Kelly as the only option off the bench in CM.
He currently is though, unless that changes in the next 7 hours.He won't be though will he.
His manager seems to have Dabo’d him by playing him with a groin injury.Kitching better hit the ground running as he was written off by many whilst watching a random Barnsley game, the earliest writing off of a signing yet.
We have Palmer, Ayari, and then O'Hare and Allen hopefully not too far offHe currently is though, unless that changes in the next 7 hours.
haven't received £35mn over time - payments are staggered over years. Granted what we payout will be staggered as well but there are still wages and agents fees to cover on day one. We don't have £35mn just sat in an account waiting to be utilised.Not being ungrateful. We were all sold the ‘Join The Journey’ drivel but are arguably worse having received £35m plus in additional revenue and transfer fees. Nothing against DK but there are questions to be asked.
Just because he is not SISU does not mean there shouldn’t be any scrutiny.
My days, what is it with this forum?We have Palmer, Ayari, and then O'Hare and Allen hopefully not too far off
We're clearly weaker in attack too. But selling Hamer and Gyokeres was almost inevitably going to mean we were weaker in midfield and attack.By position, I’d say we’re only weaker in defensive midfield. Everywhere else is either comparable or stronger.
The problem is that weakness in defensive midfield is really going to be felt when fatigue begins to accumulate. It’s not exactly a position that is kind on stamina either.
I said the club have worked hard, it was a sarcastic comment.
im not saying they haven’t though, I’m more referring to for all this hard work something should have come to fruition
Ayari will play there.My days, what is it with this forum?
Palmer, O’Hare and possibly Ayari are not CDM’s. Completely different role to one that Kelly would play. So not relevant.
Allen the only one who would play there but is currently not fit due to a heart issue.
Not so sure he will but we will see. Even then, as good as he might be, we should not be relying on a 19 year old loanee as a replacement for a £12m player.Ayari will play there.
Just to add to this, an additional CB would mean that Lati could play CDM if needed.Not so sure he will but we will see. Even then, as good as he might be, we should not be relying on a 19 year old loanee as a replacement for a £12m player.
If robins wants him, then you have to trust him on that.I’ll be gobsmacked if this mysterious last signing isn’t Kitching. Andy Turner reporting that a CB more likely than a CM now, Brekalo’s saying no, the only player we have unfinished business with is Kitching, really hope it’s someone better but I’m sure it’ll be him if we sign anyone at all.
Not worth the £5m btw, would be better if we kept the money in my view.
I would say Simms and Wright combined will end up offering as much as Gyo alone.We're clearly weaker in attack too. But selling Hamer and Gyokeres was almost inevitably going to mean we were weaker in midfield and attack.
I'd be very surprised. On goals maybe but not all round contribution.I would say Simms and Wright combined will end up offering as much as Gyo alone.
Yeah fairs, I suppose he must be half decent if Robins thinks he is but the £5m valuation puts me off. People say we shouldn’t be frivolous with our cash when spending it on a quality CM but then are sound with spending £5m on some geezer from league oneIf robins wants him, then you have to trust him on that.
Sounds a bit like playing with 10 men. Hopefully Sheaf and Eccles combined can offer as much as Hamer did. Crazy logic.I would say Simms and Wright combined will end up offering as much as Gyo alone.
