To counter that, I'd say that if Armstrong, BBD and Archer were Championship players last season and we were targeting them on the back of goal-scoring campaigns, that would fill that void you state. They'd certainly be valued at that as well. Last season BBD looked like a carthorse, but he can and has scored goals at this level. Ditto Armstrong, and ditto Archer. On paper we have 'Championship proven goal scorers' in the door already, so we somewhat have a risk free move available for an 'up and coming' sort. If we sell BBD/Armstrong/Archer then it's a different story however.

Reads like a massive guess-work article to me.

Yes, that's quite scary. Let's hope he's nowhere near involved come August!

I think that's a very fair assessment. I don't have a problem with Solak personally, more so the morons he put to run the show and then the subsequent show they spun up. I guess the proof will be in the pudding now though, we need to see an uplift now he's fully involved. He could have been a worse owner, that's for sure. At least our players are paid.

This one is clearly a Spors driven signing, him and Quarshie have both been targeted and moved on pretty quickly by Spors and the new Chief Scout. Our new Chief Scout has obviously got some knowledge of both of these, especially Quarshie as he was at Hoffenheim Yep, they're young, somewhat unknown and we've all been here before so I get the apprehension. I think we'll still target some more proven players though, we'd be nuts not to. The problem comes when your strategy is based on just young and up and coming, as we've all seen.

I'm with you, I think Brooks is a very classy player. Technically gifted, similar in ways to Dibling in his playing style. Not particularly quick, but a good brain and close control. I felt we should have got more out of him when we had him, I saw it as a huge coup when we got him on loan. I didn't think our rigid retain the ball approach helped him, he's more of a maverick - much in the same way as Charly was, you need to let them express themselves and not tie them int a rigid ''keep the ball at all costs, and pass backwards'' approach. Whoever gets him in the Championship will undeniably be getting one of the most technically gifted players in the league.

We've done well to get over 50% of our money back on this one, the guy never did it for us - either Champ or Prem. Lots of pace, undeniable attribute, but he never seemed to know what to do with it. Lots of blind ally's run into. To get £15m+ for him is a fantastic start and provides us with a bit of a bonus income, that we probably didn't expect to generate. This is the sort of transfer I expected to rumble on and turn into a loan, ditto Onuachu, so it's good to get these two done nice and early. I wonder if we'll get any takers for ABK? That would be another bonus, even £5m at this point.

Where is the proof that the club confirmed it to the Echo? Have you seen the official OS release stating our interest? Until that point it's a rumour. #MLGMode (sorry, couldn't resist)

I've not seen any links to this guy, this is the first one. I've always thought he's out of our range, and even after that post...I'm probably still inclined to believe he's out of our range. He's being talked about at upwards of £15-20m, clearly a really good player but destined for better than us. The club already have Bree and Suguwara at RB, so we don't have a gap to fill as it stands. (which feels weird to say as we've just lost KWP). I'd hope Suguwara will be top at Championship level.

The transfer fee and his freed up wages will be much more useful to us than any on pitch output we 'may' have got. I'm not sure why people are sad to see him go, he was utter dog shite.

Probably the most unrealistic shout yet. It's not like Everton didn't want him to stay. He's injury prone for sure, but he's certainly upper PL quality and we're not on his radar, neither is he on ours. Cheap would also equate to more than Ramsdale is getting paid. He'll get picked up by a prem team without breaking much sweat.

I'd say that level is probably as far as he'll ever progress, just doesn't have the physical attributes to handle the rigours of top level football.

I personally thought that one was one of our worst efforts. Wasn't a fan of the black, never have been on our klits.

I don't really care about Rohl anymore - I'm over that. Let them get on with it. I don't think there are such things as first/second choices either, it's whoever fits best at the moment. Rohl didn't. I'm perfectly content with how we've ended up at this point. I'd be more nervous if we were in July and still had no manager in post. Leicester have a lot of work and a lot of uncertainties to move through before they can start prepping for next season, whilst we're already at that stage.

He doesn't have a choice with the built in extension clause, it's baked into his current deal that we reserve the right to execute a 1 year extension whenever we want. There's nothing stopping us doing that, he can't reject that. My guess is that the club are trying to negotiate an entirely new deal, but we do still have that 1 year extension up our sleeve if he doesn't which we can execute at any point and still retain value on him.
