Farmer Saint

Your Mum for one.

But he's shit in the Premier League - why would we want him back in the Prem???

I'd prefer to lose more - not sure if anyone saw but we were fucking awful last season.

THB in Stewart in And that's it.

Makes sense, although they'll be creating issues based on the Paintsil rubbish.

Well, exactly - Swansea must fucking hate us.

It's alright, I'm sure Hypo will post another 20 or 30 times today about how it's a risk if we sign him and don't keep Che Adams.

I never said I don't think he'll score enough, but I also don't think he's irreplaceable. And then if we get promoted we'll end upoffering him a bumper contract and keeping him, on much higher wages, and he will lead our line and not score in the Prem. Again. As an aside to this mind, I'm also not too concerned about being in the Premier League - being a shit team in the Prem is far worse than being a good team in the Championship in relation to enjoyment and entertainment.

It's up to him, it's a free world for him to post as many times as he likes on a topic, I just find it very boring (and by the number of likes/laughs I think a lot of people on this forum do too). Perhaps he'll take it on board and become a better, more accomplished poster.

Well, I think the point is it does - if all his goals are from 1 yard out I would say that skillet is easier to replace. If he scored 30 goals from 30 yards plus this season, I'm not sure you could replace that.

Don't worry, I feel the same about Adams. He's scored 2 from a combined 3 yards out, and last season the whole forum wanted him gone. Now he's the second coming of Pele.

Passing stats are poor as well. Joking aside though, as a striker he looks pretty good.

Wonder if we'll stand firm on that - do a Gnonto on him.

There are 6 posts on the last 3 pages that are similar on the risk of bringing in Stewart instead of Adams. All variations on a theme and all extremely dull. Why don't you tell us again about how you think we've missed out by not signing Piroe 😴

You do love repeating yourself don't you? You remind me of my daughter, when she's hysterical she repeats herself over and over too.

I think you're just under-estimating the financial aspect of the club - the huge spending last year and ultimately relegation. It's screwed us for a few years. They are looking to ensure we don't fall foul of FFP (which looks over a running 3 years), which would have been fine if we'd have stayed in the Prem last year, but not now.

Akin to us losing ABK or Sully...

Because the Championship has more stringent rules - it's points deductions rather than fines, which is far more serious for those that break it.

As said before, I would expect the money issue to be around FFP - we spent so much last year and now with a huge drop of revenue, which reduces our ability to stay within the FFP regs, we cannot and will not be able to spend much money over the next 3 years or so. That spending last year has hamstrung us hugely.

That's because 20 virgins probably wouldn't go down well.

The funniest thing is those same people who are bemoaning Tella leaving at 24, probably wrote him off at 19 or 20.

So hang on, there are some actual ITKs on this site, outside of the COT? I think the COT would do well to get Guan into the Circle - we need to be 100% sure who we can trust as there are many false prophets creating a lot of noise.

The CoT have spoken - cheers for the info. For me, that's a huge risk not bringing in anyone to replace him.
