And yet usually people get shirty on here when someone suggests buying players of 28 and up for high fees is a bad idea - assets maintaining value is soooo important for a club in our position
A lot of the time that can't be helped. It's great to get deals over the line quickly, but ultimately the better deals get done late in the window when prices drop and other deals are done so the domino effect happens.
Our problem, of course, is...
Someone bell Thelwell. Maybe he'll be kind enough to give us a name or two. We should have the money now for a Gibbs White, Kudus, Minteh, Gnonto, Philogene, Elanga type.
They are the rumours of the players we had lined up before Moyes changed his mind. We wouldn’t have had deals for them if we couldn’t afford them.
Fellows was £8m so £2m on a 4 year contract. Truffert went to Bournemouth for not much more...
We need to be signing better players than
Wesley, Truffert, Fellows and Nuamah if we could have had them in the door in January.
They would be acclimatised to the league by now too. With the rebuild we had we shouldn’t have let January go...

He looked great at the start of his career but then again so did Cadamateri (senior).
It's interesting because. a few of those have seemed close to deals over last 3 weeks, then little or no news.
Almost as if deals are never as close as sometimes reported.
Plenty on a downer with Moyes, Everton, the recruitment team, the...
We’re not the only ones. The teams that have made the most moves are the sly 6 or the relegated teams buying players you’ve largely never heard of
Newcastle having their arsed handed to them, Villa signed nobody for first team, palace one lad on...
Just looked at Transfermarkt and outside the “big 6” who seem to play by different rules and the promoted teams then we have spend the same as most other clubs so far. Brighton have spent a bit more than the rest.
Still frustrating that we...
Even if Kubo ended up signing, I’d still sign Tom Fellows for the squad. Kubo a starter, and Fellows on the bench ready to come on if we need to tweak tactics and resort to plan B.
We know how good and accurate Fellows is with crosses from the...
