Yes I essentially said that higher up the thread. Buying youngsters with potential is a great strategy as long as its a handful supplemented by experienced quality to allow them to be introduced slowly. Buying Bazunu for instance and then making him first choice was absolutely insane.

Well it wasn't luck really was it. It was good scouting in that instance. Same with Tino.

Actually didn't do too badly in terms of making back money. Just a shame they were all shite. Add Tino in from the previous year and that's probably not too far off breaking even remarkably!

I don't personally mind a policy of signing some promising youngsters. Our issue has always been the amount of them we bought all at once without also investing in enough experience and quality.

If that's the case then even better.

Although with Sam Amo Ameyew we got a decent profit so it does work out on occasion.

That's about 50 million raised this summer then. You do have to think we will be able to hold onto one of our bigger players. Let's say we do sell Aribo, send Ramsdale on loan for a sizable fee and then Fernandes for big cash thats going to be getting close to 100 million. Surely at that point the argument for selling Dibling and THB at least for financial reasons won't make a lot of sense.

Probably enough to sell unfortunately. I fully expect 40 million plus (hopefully closer to 50) which is good money but I just hope we can bring in top championship players in a few areas in exchange.

Always the most likely outcome but still pretty gutting to lose your best player.

I've paid for a vpn for years so I haven't seen anything.

Let's be honest Edozie was never going to make it in the prem. If we get a reasonable amount I'm happy for him to leave. Wingers become close to top priority in the window now.

Why shouldn't we look at Russian players? It's not their fault.

I haven't seen us linked with many really good attacking midfielders yet. Maybe this is the best quality one.

I'd rather take the risk personally for a couple of players than end up with another Smallbone type who is a nice lad but a crap footballer

Sure it's a risk but you could just as likely end up with an Adel taraabt type who was a total prick but won qpr promotion.

Brilliant I want a club that is bigger than the Championship too. Sounds like we are aligned.

No offense to Bednarek but I'm incredibly happy he's gone.

For those who enjoy it just stick to celebrating and being entertained by women's football. It's essentially a different sport. No need at all to start making comparisons.

Good point. He was alright.

Even if he has the potential to, why take the risk for the sake of a few million quid whee potentially it could cost you many times that.

I hate prolonged sagas as we always miss out. Piroe and the bloke from celtic in recent times. The only one that we got over the line was Skacel and he was a pile of wank.

Considering a proposal isn't really agreeing to sign is it.

Fair enough. I wasn't certain he'd be good enough for them.

We should be doing whatever we can to get josh Brownhill by the way assuming he's up for being in the championship again.

Bollocks to that! Get the bloke in.
