From looking like it may have been 2 or 3 more in today to this shit show.

After a lifetime of supporting this club I fear this debacle could be the end for me, I've finally had enough.

Can see it being the same for JDT as well

Nothing better to do than make up things and then come up with excuses as to why he got them wrong. Usually ‘things have changed’ etc. 

Seems those tweets have now mysteriously disappeared ! Funny that

Barnsley now in the mix for Ennis according to Nixon.

I pretty much said all that in the original post. I’m not talking about spending all that in January as I was replying to the ‘loan now buy later’ policy. Regardless, we’re getting £23m over the next few windows plus a potential £4m eventually. We need to be spending over 50% of that if we have any ambition of promotion - isn’t that meant to be ‘the model‘?

Love to agree with you Nicko, but how can we spend 50% of that £23m when, by your own admission, it's coming over the next few windows, so we haven't actually got it yet?

If you mean we should be spending ,half of that £23 over the coming transfer windows I agree with you

You keep ignoring the fact that purchases are made on exactly the same basis over the life of the contract as well.

True but I'm not ignoring it, I mentioned previously we won't be paying over £2m for McGuire (if it goes through) in one payment either. 

But the difference between £2,m and £18m in terms of repayments is huge

£22m Wharton + £5m Raya sell on - appreciate nobody knows all the details of when the Wharton money will arrive but we’ve got £27m coming in before we even sell Dolan or Gallagher over the next few windows

You really think it's as simple as that ? Firstly the Wharton deal is £18m with £4m in add ons, presumably things like a set number of appearances, possibly England call ups, all of which are in the future, so forget the £4m for the time being.

We will also not receive £18m in the coffers tomorrow, the amount will be spread over a number of years.

I wish it was just as you say but that's fairytale stuff. The most we could expect to spend is the initial down payment on the Wharton deal ,  I would guess around £6m

He's a centre half ? Can't see another one coming in tbh

Sounds high end to me.

I guess we will know soon enough.

Just to avoid confusion, talking about the Wheaton deal now . £18m  -  £6m per year for the next 3 years.

Not saying we will end up paying £6m for McGuire 😃

3 minutes ago, wilsdenrover said:

Surely any outgoing fees wouldn’t be in a lump sum either.

Would imagine it would be more like £6m spread over 3 years (if we are lucky)

Like you say though, maybe we aren't paying McGuires fee up front, although obviously it is a much smaller sum

Loan bids for random players in the Swedish league with 20m burning a hole in our pocket.

You think we are getting £20m upfront in 1 payment  for Wharton ? 😄😄

Getting flashbacks to Wes Brown with this 37 year old Centre half.

MacFadzean from Coventry, is on the radar

Whatever you may think of this signing, looks like we may have a proper itk on here 😃

Unsure if this is tongue in cheek but experience and still being at an age and ability to contribute are not mutually exclusive.

It's a deal for 4 months till end of the season, hes not signed a  4 year deal. Get a grip everybody

A poster on here, who said Travis was going to Ipswich before anyone else knew mentioned it, confirmed we are looking at him. 
 

Gregg will be really pushing the average age up if we sign this old man.

Well, JDT did want experience, he's certainly got that. Wasn't in Coventrys squad last night

In the basement licking mold off the stones.

Don't know how true it is, but played 35 games in the championship last season and has played 15 times this season for a very good Coventry side.  If he's good enough for Mark Robins it's good enough for me

Looking at who we've been linked with recently, the lad at Hearts (Russ Cochrane) looks like a decent utility option, can play lb, lm and cm

Best of luck to Adam, hope he smashes it at Palace. 💙🤍

It's the only way we could have bid over £2m for the American lad.

Also reports saying Phillips off to Cardiff, hopefully we can maybe revisit Cresswell?

Going to need a cm as well obviously with Adam going, looking at Garrett last night he's not the answer.

Would also like somebody who can cover both full back positions with Brittain and Pickering out

Didn't they turn Wednesdays bid down though.,?

If it's the same bid can't see it getting accepted but hope I'm wrong 😄

How is Moran still on the pitch?

Yes, fucking brilliant , that waste of space Gallagher again 😄

You could see that coming a mile away. 

Completely dominated possession then caught by a sucker punch.

Who's went to be playing LB? Gave Wharyon too much to do to try and get across.

Playing with Gallagher is like playing  with 10 but the Welsh commentators think he's looking 'sharp".

I give up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gallagher has been the best player on the pitch. What game are you watching?

1 goal , 1 assist

I hope they bring Moran on in the second half, looking forward to what he can do

Hope he's better than his alter ego on the pitch , he's been shite 😄

Think we can also say Garrett is no replacement for Wharton
