That will surely be one of the add ons to take the deal closer to 22 million

We could have got a little more for him but until tested at premier league level there is a ceiling and nobody is being stupid suggesting that. Apart from Bellingham who had a way bigger reputation than Wharton what other teenager has been sold for more money? The fact Is most of us on here knew he was an incredible talent but he hadnt even been called up to an England under 21 squad whilst with us ...it took a move to the premier league for him to even get that

I doubt Dolan will go even if he doesn't sign a new contract beyond the year extension we will still be entitled to a fee for him next summer

Pointless if they are...whatever budget they have been promised will only be reduced later in the summer. That's if Venkys havent already told them it's only frees and loans and the wages need to be cut again. Sell A.Wharton(replace from within) Sell Szmodic(replace with shite)

He isn't head of recruitment Sean Kimberley is. Broughton's job isn't to solely identify players ...he hasn't sat checking stats and scouting players all week. He is director of football operations and it isn't just the first team. At least contracts have got signed while he is here

Yeah but when you are spending so little and hoping to sign championship level players for as little as 300 k then it could be the most respected dof in the world in charge but it is going to be very difficult to get the quality desired for such little money. When we supposedly had a better budget we were bringing in and being linked with better.The striker Adams who Broughton supposedly had a liking for is now being rated at £20 million following his summer move. Hyam had a shit season , and I'm not keen on hisw character but last season he was excellent and if Szmodic is sold it will dwarf the 2 million spent in the summer. I'm not suggesting Broughton is excellent at his job but it could be anyone in his position and they will still find the job extremely difficult when budgets keep getting changed etc. When Broughton has spent over a million quid the signings have been ok

Cost the club a lot of money? Broughton has to compete in the championship with a lower end league one budget whilst any decent player is sold off . Plus it has to be taken into account every window Greg is told one thing and then the budget gets slashed.

Reported by Waggott to a few people in the privacy of his own office . Broughton said on a podcast available to be listened by whoever chooses that it was Ben Rosen who identified Szmodic as a player to bring in, stating he wasn't on any previous lists. In the same podcast he also explicitly said that it was him who asked for JDT to be added to the shortlist whilst Waggott was telling supporters that JDT had already been identified prior to Broughton joining the club . Steve "we bought a new bus" Waggott is a proven liar

What I don't understand is we lose £20 million per year every year? When our top earner was Rhodes on 35k a week and had other high earners the owners had to put in £20 million to keep us afloat. Now we have the third lowest wage budget in the league and spend hardly anything in the transfer market but we still have to find £20 million,?

Why would you be buzzing if we get 20 million for Szmodic? The others would expect him to be replaced for 200k or free

Nixons gossip for the day we interested in Cannon on loan and looking to loan out O'Riordan next season

Dembele is overrated on here ,any team he has been at he spends a lot of time on the bench and his scoring record is shite too

Drameh on loan isn't he? We won't be able to afford James Dembele has spent a lot of time on the bench for a side just relegated

The bookies

Dowell is only 26 I wouldn't say that is past it? Can't say iv been following how he is doing at Rangers but looked a good championship player. We won't have the money for any of them anyway
