They have to start somewhere.

There has to be a happy medium. They're 20 year old lads that probably know this is their level, no matter how hard they work. Having them in every day is silly. Giving them multiple days off a week during the season is also silly

Have the club actually commented on this yet?

We don't have crucial first team players leaving for free any more - so I think we've probably negotiated decent add-ons.

Where's Ramsdale going? 'Cos they're already committed to buying Raya.

Same in the NFL. The in-stadium experience is awful - loads of dead time waiting for the game to come back from commercials.

Trebled Ennis' wages according to who? We lost £40k on that deal - it was a worthwhile punt.

Depends if they're allowed to spend money (including competitive wages) or not.

Surely he's not being signed to be a starter. He's experienced and, more importantly, he's a leader. We've desperately short of those in the dressing room. I'm not opposed to the move considering S. Wharton will be out most of the season.

Oxford. Bolton are in our catchment area.

As far as I'm aware they've never failed to pay players, so you'd go to whoever offers the biggest weekly wage. Granted with our new L1 budget that wouldn't be us.

The only thing I don't like about those highlights (and I get that slide tackles are sexy) is that he dives in to a lot of tackles. I hope that's not the norm for him.

He's out of contract in December - we won't get him on loan.

Waggott's got another one.

A pay rise I'd imagine

He's not playing for said PL club.

Exactly - he's just thrived in the SPL (which is roughly the equivalent of L1 bar two or three teams). He deserves the chance to show what he's got with the First Team. Unfortunately Batty hasn't kicked on at all.

I'd be happy with that, but I'd be very surprised.

I've always said if you told me they were Burnley fans I'd believe you.

On the face of it, yes, but he's been allowed to spend a lot of money at Hull. They were clearly expecting promotion (or at least playoffs) this year.

On a big budget.

My team would beat your team.

That's his new line now he understands his role in the process - he's been very publicly sidelined thrice in successive transfer windows. He's protecting his reputation now

I'm not giving credit for Szmodics to the previous regime, sorry. Brittain and Hyam are a step up from the guys they replaced. Telalovic was a desperate, cheap punt. We've washed our face with Ennis. It's too early in the day to judge Wahlstedt (better than Pears) and O'Connor. Chrisene, Hill, Moran (for a few months) and Ayari have been decent loans. They'll all have been super cheap as that's the pool we're fishing in.

Besides our POTY last year, Hyam, and our POTY this season, Szmodics (who's going to be sold for 4x what we paid for him)... and our best CM, Tronstad, and our best RB, Brittain. Other than that, nothing. The acceptance of the O'Brien / Brierley mistakes was him being professional as the actual culprits daren't put their head above that parapets and the fans needed an answer. It's no coincidence they (Silvestre / Waggott et al) pulled a new trick in January to scupper the transfers.
