Funny thing is.. could even be the case .. what's the deal 2.5m overall.. offer him half to wait 6 months? Although I doubt it, you never know
-
Beat Stoke at the weekend.. forget there was a transfer window. Apart from mahrez and youri, I can't remember us making any decent January signings
-
Which was agreed.. so either side changed it. No guarantee its us, everyone knows what Italian clubs are like with money looks at praet to torino.. never happened due to them constantly changing the offer. As far as I'm concerned.. yes it's embarrassing, but the club have taken a massive hit and been in a financial mess since covid hit. We've been relegated and sold our main assets. We could've regrouped our finances, kept who stayed after the season ended.. picked up freebies and stayed in the championship for years under a mediocare manager until we could afford to have a real go again. Instead, we bought in maresca and backed him with a right wedge. We're fine, unless we have a major collapse we won't be in this division next season, we've held on to kdh, yunus seems to be picking up
-
Not a fan of rudkin but until we know the issue we can't hold anyone to account For all we know Inter may have pulled the plug at the last minute worrying about covering their own injuries
-
Recent history yes.. problem we had in the last few years is the staggering contracts we gave out to players At the end of the day.. we're top of the table without sensi.. we don't know if he'd have improved us or not. We have no new players unsettling anyone whose already here competing for game time and settled for the season. Let's just smash the next 17 games, get promoted and play transfers in the summer
-
Casadei got slated by 95% of us.. including me. Wilf will hopefully be back soon Broken no ffp rules, backed the manager in the summer, go in to the new season with no punishments Yea it's embarrassing and Enzo will be peed but, we need to focus on what we have and not what we don't
-
Kept all our main players.. massively backed the manager in the summer Making sure we go in to the next season having not broken rules to ensure no punishment... not the end of the world
-
We've kept KDH and have the best squad in the league. Other than Brooks to Soton no-one else has done much in the market. Hope wilfs back sooner.. but until we know the truth on this, rudkin can keep his head
-
Hopefully Enzo at least stays and sees what he can achieve this season Can't see him walking for this.. although a major embarrassment.. player he wanted, probably met with him earlier etc That being said.. he got the players he wanted in the summer so let's hope its not a big sulk
-
Got to feel sorry for the player. Thought he'd got a fresh start, travels to England, passes his medical and then the buying team messes up Now will have to travel back and hang around a club that don't want him When he goes elsewhere in the summer he'll realise he's dodged a bullet. Need to hope this don't turn Enzo now, wanted one player all window and we've still messed up
-
Yea realised that after I'd clicked submit.
-
Surely it has to be something to do with the deal we've offered. Paying 500k now and 2million in the summer when the players out of contract .. maybe the accounts don't allow that?
-
You'd think given this has been on the cards almost three weeks, they'd know what paperwork needs filing. Has to be something more than a work permit
-
Bookies probably dropped the odds so all the knee jerkers whack a few quid on think they'll make a little profit because a bookie says 'it's odds on'. Wonder how they make so much money 🤣
-
It's his decision making for me but he is 19. He makes decisions a little too slow at the moment which then messes up his end product. Once he makes his decisions faster he's going to be frightening Not saying he'll be the next mahrez as such, but he took a while to to perform. I think when we go up, he'll be in and out of the team for the first half a season then smash it. (Hope anyway)
-
100% agree... I much prefer Justin and glad he was just ill.. was good to see Doyle play half decent though so we could rely on him Was poor vs brum .. glad he stepped up
-
I'd argue that once we make Abdul a permanent signing he has the highest ceiling. Season and a half of destroying left backs and decent G/A stats and he's topping 60m
-
Sensi In Souttar out on loan? Nothing else unless it's for the development squad
-
Delighted to see this, albeit a little late. Doyle had a decent game on Tuesday though.
-
One way of freeing up a place for sensi
-
2-0 win

Hopefully it's true.. and I agree we're in a sorry state and had an almighty fall. The shining light for me though is that we have a great chance of promotion, even if we yoyo for a few years, and this family have picked us up off the floor before and given us some great times, and even though the rules are stricter now, they have the ability, with time to get us back as an established premier league team. I'm as worried as anyone else about how little funds we seem to have, but we aren't in the same boat as 20 odd years ago when we needed rescuing from the administrators, we aren't in league one again .. we haven't just sold our best player for 20m like we worried about hampering our promotion push, we worked hard and achieved far more than we ever hoped for almost a decade. so let's just get this window closed .. with or without sensi.. hopefully with, and then get to the summer and see what happens.
-
Was a Saturday fixture though that's been moved so doubt it'll be on Annoying because we can't get down tonight as would've been ideal
-
Not so sure tbh.. I think we've got enough players to cover certain areas. Hamza can cover 3 roles, sensi can probably cover winks and the 8. Now Nelsons stepped up I think cb is covered.. got enough forwards.. yunus and praet can cover at 8 too.. Only major worries are if kdh and wilf are out for the same game in the league we lack quality and leadership but maybe sensi can cover that and we don't have real quality on the wings to cover mavididi and fatawu.. but we should get by for the remainder of the season I'd have thought.. Albrighton showed he still has it at this level Other teams are adding but hopefully it'll take them time to settle in
