Yes I know they’re tightening the belt but with the strange collection of very average players we’ve been signing we need at least one more good player to back up our remaining handful of quality players.
£10M is a lot of money but it’d make the difference between some possibly of promotion and a retreat into heroic mediocrity.
They’ve saved a lot and they probably could afford this one extravagance because it’d make financial sense in the medium to long term.

We havent got 10p let alone 10m.
we have 35 million less to play with than we did last season, we won't be spending 10 million on anyone.
Wilson will probably go to Brentford
How much have you seen of our four new players then?Quote:

I don't think we'll be challenging for promotion for a few years
It's going to be heroic mediocrity, I'm afraid. Anything more will be a huge bonus next seasonQuote:

I don't think we should be spending 10m on anyone. Will any championship clubs be spending big?
There is no transfer embargo. Check the EFL embargo site. It was all a damp squib.Quote:

What's your sauce (sic) for your financial insight
If we're going to spend that much (hypothetically) then I'd want to spend it on a better player than Wilson
Darren Carter is a free agent now. Should we get Carter?Quote:

that differential isn't worth 10m we don't have though.
I'd love to see him back here, but we shouldn't be spending that kind of money
But you know what happened to him at the end. BANG!!Quote:

£10m could pick up a handful of good quality young players, why would you blow it on one who even if he did help get us promoted has shown nothing at the top level.
Give me a squad of youth any day.

None of the non loanees I’ve mentioned as comparisons has a great deal of resale value, whereas we made a six figure profit on Etheridge and I dare say we would on Nelson if we sold him.Quote:

Well, that makes your rating of them as "very average" a little premature then doesn't it?Quote:
