Well that's absolutely obvious. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't spend 100 million in this league.

We got the same thing with West ham and then jwp went there in the end. Same thing will happen here most likely.

Adams is fine as a squad player in the Premier league but not as a starting attacker. He's absolutely good enough to be the main player in the championship though. They're two different jobs.

Yes that's my point. I can see the logic in selling Adams, even if it weakens us but the others are under contract and we should be taking the hit for a year.

If we keep Alcaraz we will have made at least one exception. What's a couple more.

Yes that's exactly what we should do

Either isn't good. I get that we may have be able to replace some with players who don't have a premier league bonus or wage premium, but surely we can make an exception for one or two?

Absolutely. Unless Adams makes it very clear he is going to down tools and go on strike (something I don't think he will do), we should be telling him he will be staying for a season. With Piroe gone, I don't think any proven championship strikers remain. He needs to stay.

Absolutely. No offence to Swansea but they have little in the way of expectation for this year yet they can seemingly keep their best players and tie them to new contracts. It's mad that we cannot do the same for our last remaining players we would like to keep.

We are obviously getting a starting cb in and they will obviously replace bednarek. I'm not too worried about that because it's going to happen.

My guess is they've said he can go to Italy next year which is where it is reported he wants to go to. Does seem odd that he would commit to Swansea for another year in mid table though.

I'm more intrigued to know who the players are who have been holding on waiting for us to sign them. It isn't Piroe or grimes so not sure who it could be unless it's just pr spin.

There's no evidence that that will happen. Perform well and they can go with our blessing next year.

He's not going to publically say he's unhappy is he. Let's be realistic.

Why are more sales an inevitability?

Yes taking the gamble and letting him go on a free may cost us some lonely, but we've made multiple millions on Lavia, Tino, jwp and more money than we expected for sure. At some point you have to swallow the cost and speculate to accumulate if you want promotion. It can't be all about money.

KWP as well. Just tell them they can go next year if we fail to go up. What's the worst that could happen?

Cracking result today but now is the time to stand firm and say no more first team outgoings. We've made about 150 million from sales, we need to keep the rest to push for promotion. We have a good group of players now and any further losses from the first team will weaken us considerably. Surely we don't need to sell for financial reasons? What is preventing us from saying no?

Any player who isn't a proven championship goalscorer is a risk. I'm praying we know what we're doing.

My brother in law played with the Ipswich manager and said he got all A*a in his gcses and was doing every sports course going at Loughborough from a young age. As it seems like they will win again, I think he coukd be destined for big things.

Oh dear no Alcaraz...

It's been two years...

True that would also make me reconsider staging future events (or at least barring dodgy blokes wearing the woman's football kit.)

It's been two years...

Seems like a popular opinion judging by the amount of likes of his post.
