I can see that. Feels more like a Bobby Gould type signing than Robins, but then again Gould signed some of the best players the club has ever had.

Yeah, more the profile than the player himself (who I do like). We do need something else up top though so could be worth a chance.
He’sIt took Wright a while to get going, but based on form since he actually cemented his place in the starting line-up (West Brom), and considering we changed formation against Stoke which better suited him, his scoring record is 1 in 2. That's 23 over a 46 game season, so don't see how he's some way off being a 20-goal a season striker (he's a winger anyway, so 20 goals would be crazy impressive).
Wright cost 7.5 million, doesn't need a Gyokeres/Hamer size fee to be profitable.
Wouldn’t you question why League one Oxford didn’t fancy him?Can't see it happening but now Jones has gone away and got his confidence back tearing up League 2, I wouldn't mind having him back now that we are playing a system more suited to him.
He’s28 until he’s 29not a 20-goal a season striker until he’s scored 20 goals
Didn't he fall out with the manager shortly after signing?Wouldn’t you question why League one Oxford didn’t fancy him?
Karl Robinson changed tact and decided he didn't want to play with wingers apparently. He's a pretty odd bloke.Didn't he fall out with the manager shortly after signing?
I’m sure Robins won’t be buying back-upsI'm not saying we should get him & I think he's already on loan somewhere but I reckon JWE would fit in as a back up to Wright.
His career trajectory suggests he'd want to go before that if the opportunity came, however. A couple of years at a club and move on for a better opportunity is currently what he's done.Lot of talk about Kitchings value if moving on etc
But from what i know, Kitching hasn't been purchased with being sold in future in mind unlike MVE, Simms, Thomas for example
He's earmarked as the new Fadz and to be to main CB heres for 5 plus years
So the left sided forward we all think we need to buy is going to replace Wright? I don't think if MR is looking for someone to play there he is going to play instead of Wright or cost us £7-10mI’m sure Robins won’t be buying back-ups
What we are now in a position is to get some development players in - somebody who can push Wright for a season and a half, and be ready to step up if and when Wright's sold.So the left sided forward we all think we need to buy is going to replace Wright?

jones gets nowhere near Wright, Palmer, O’Hare, Sakamoto, and I’d hazard a guess we’d be able to buy better players.
That's kind of what I meant and he can also replace Wright if he's injured or MR wants to take him off. Slowpoke seems to think we are only going to buy players that go straight into the team but MR likes to tinker a bit and is/has built a squad where he can do that.What we are now in a position is to get some development players in - somebody who can push Wright for a season and a half, and be ready to step up if and when Wright's sold.
I am very likely to talk bollocks when I'm pissed up in a taxi.Are we assuming the Jack Clarke thread that came and went was a wind up?
Ah, I didn’t realise there was a whole story, I only saw the original post with the maths in it.I am very likely to talk bollocks when I'm pissed up in a taxi.
No thanksJust read an article on Web suggesting George Byers of Sheffield Wednesday could be a possibility?
I see Dan Crowley is also doing well at Notts after failed spells at Cheltenham and Morecambe (!)
Was that the article that said he might leave if they signed Conor 'Coventry '?Just read an article on Web suggesting George Byers of Sheffield Wednesday could be a possibility?
Wouldn't really see the point in thisJust read an article on Web suggesting George Byers of Sheffield Wednesday could be a possibility?
27 and nowhere near as good as the players we already have in midfieldJust read an article on Web suggesting George Byers of Sheffield Wednesday could be a possibility?
Told 2 or 3 more to come in which is great news
Kelly could be off to Burton
Kelly to Burton seems oddly specific at this stage of the window.Told 2 or 3 more to come in which is great news

Burton just appointed a rookie manager, in true FM style Kelly might have been recommended to him, someone to come in and set the standards.Kelly to Burton seems oddly specific at this stage of the window.
Have you actually seen Brekalo play?Honestly didn’t expect that, real great news! I thought Doug would be keeping one eye of the coffers and another eye on the current price of rapeseed oil. Nice to know he’s clearly taking the investment in the team seriously and increasing the depth of the squad.
Really hope Brekalo is on the cards, think he would be a great option in time. Just need another winger as backup for when we get injuries/tired legs etc. Then maybe next window an extra striker for if/when Godden or Tavares goes out on loan. Still not sold on Langstaff, massive jump from league 2 to championship, he looks great atm (and I could be massively wrong) but I can’t see him banging in anywhere near the same amount of goals in the championship.

Think you’re about the 27th person to say this mateI'm sick of hearing about the bloke. No real idea who he is and yet I'm finding myself starting to dislike him.
Would link up nicely with Lawrence Shankland.
I think we should be looking at someone like Scott twine
Jack Clarke and Andrew driver would put them on a plate for shanklandWould link up nicely with Lawrence Shankland.
