Because we were going to end up with just a 37 year old for about 6 weeks due to afcon. He's also one for the future.

If it stops Soumare coning on I'd sign him, Young, Milner the lot......

Good, close thread

Why?

Cannon will not play.

Before last season, in 28 seasons when the Premier League had 20 clubs, the team finishing 18th—the highest to go down—had averaged 35.2 points. So, on average, 36 points have been enough to stay up. If we get a 6-point deduction, we need to get around 42 points. I always like to approach it in 10-game chunks. If we could get 11 points from each of the first three 10-game chunks, we would need 9 from the last 8 games.

We couldn't in the friendly They also smashed us 3-0

I agree, but that is going to be even more expensive and probably wouldn't want to come to us in our current predicament. He isn't a Vardy's backup.

So far, over the last two summers, we have signed ten players. Of these, 60% have been under 23, and 50% have been bought in the 3-10m range. Tom Cannon (21) Hermansen (23) Mavididi (26) Okoli (23) Golding (18) Skipp (23) Five of those players could easily be developed and sold at a profit. Skipp is an outliner who would need to play well for us to make a profit. McAteer, Nelson, Alves, and Braybrooke are the next taxis of the rank to be the next KDH, Barnes or Chilwell. We have only brought in 3 players with no resell value: Coady, BDCR, and Ayew if he signs, I argue we could get our money back on Winks. What do you want to see as a reset?

People seem to forget we have Alves 19, Fatawu 20, McAteer 22 as options for attacking midfielder areas so we have lots of talent to develop. Our summer recruitment has seen us bring on Golding 18, Fatawu 20, Skipp 23, Okoli 23, we have brought it player who can develop. Only two of our sigings have been senior professionals. I think that balance has been about right especially if we bring in a young CF and another attacking option.

Last season we ran both into the ground, which definitely had a impact on there performance. Often at 70 minutes Mavididi especially was knackered. As a team we have to make up for a lack of quality by running our bollocks off, being able to swap and change personal isn't a bad thing. Also competition for places can raise everyone game, something that would have help Barnes no end when he was here. Do you really think Cooper isn't going to play Mavididi or Fatawu if they are delivery the goods. I can under people be concerned about the cost, but the overall idea isn't stupid.

It's a cheap experienced squad option, at the moment we have Mavididi, Fatawu, McAteer, BCDR, Buonanotte and Alves to cover 3 attacking midfield positions if we play 4-2-3-1. 6 players to cover 3 positions, 4 of who are 19, 19, 20 and 22 and very inexperienced, so we have a lot of youth already. Out of those 6 players, 2 have PL experience BCDR and Buonanotte 4 have played 3 PL games between them. I suspect we will bring in Ayew and another attacking player who can play central and on the wing who probably another young player. Then we have two senior pros who to support a group of player with limited PL experience, which give us 8 players to cover for injuries, suspension, rotation, loss of form. Last year we ran Mavididi and Fatawu into the ground and suffered for it. It's really not rocket science.

They may be less reluctant with the number of unwanted players they need to move on.

Only time will tell.

Based on even with our incoming this season our amortisation for transfer fees is no more than what it roughly was at the start of the championship. We have decent enough head room, in that regard.

Since then we have spent between 20 and 30m which probably give you an idea of what he's know. I expect us to spend 20-30m more.

Who said?

Who couldn't get a game in the championship.

Every transfer is a risk.

We have signed 2 x 23, 20 and 18 old so we have brought in a decent amount of young players.

Yes, just like Rooster Russell in the early 90s

Rather have one of the crowd that came down to the open training sessions......

How many goals did Albrighton and Okazaki score?

Maybe

Up against what, our amortisation is around the same it was at the start of the last championship season even after our this season additions.
