Grand scheme of things £24m for what he has achieved isn’t a million miles off of what we would get for him in the championship, feel we have done alright here. You’d obviously prefer to keep him but I’m not upset with this deal in our situation

Are relegation clauses division specific(ie prem to champ specific)/are they a one hit kind of thing(only one relegation reduction and then none for following relegations)? genuine question, not being facetious

Think he is still a bit raw but does look physically ready for pro football- if I had my way we’d sign a couple strikers and loan him out to League 2

Use the Fatawu money on Ballard instead, Bristol seem to have gone off of him

From the academy lads this pre season, I think- First team options- Aluko Joseph Braybrooke Alves Evans Page Rotation options- Otchere Neale Gray Wilson-Brown Carr Backup- Opoku Ali Donnelly Hutchinson Really not bad going at all, 6 in and around our starters and another 5 that could be options

Think Alves is gonna end up out on the right wing with the other 3 in the normal shape in the middle

Think Thomas sticks unfortunately so it may be because Nelson wants out?

This would be unbelievable business and I’d immediately be won over by McCarron- I think it’ll probably be around 17/18 with another 2/3 in realistic clauses and a smaller sell on, but I would be so happy if you were right

Tolaj is I believe, Pete O’Rourke has said that they agreed a deal with Plymouth, he’s having a medical today or tomorrow

Signing for Bristol City

I can not imagine he’s in much of a negotiation point considering his last few years, we are almost definitely the biggest option financially for him, and I really can’t imagine his demands are going to be high, again considering he didn’t exactly light the championship up last year

Only the Scottish would have treasure lore for Irn bru 😂 love it

Choudhury and Souttar for One and a couple million would be fantastic

Nothing yet saying what significant means, if it is significant to our recent history then no, if it is significant to Scotland it’ll be a 6 pack of irn bru so yes

Wow I’m famous

Maybe failed the medical?

Don’t think I’ve ever gone off of a player so quickly, 6 months ago I loved Fatawu and I just can’t wait for him to go now

One of those signings where we aren’t certain but if he’d signed for Wednesday there would be a 100 page thread about how it should’ve been us showing the ambition

Tbf you can see the thinking, two year deal and won’t be spenny, opens the door for Jakob to go, and he should be stable and not make too many mistakes, and if we can go up we can spend a bit more on a Mads type keeper and have him as our insurance

That’s a normal sized flag he’s just small

Think he is released this week, see no other way that the talks end up in the press, does nothing for us or him finding a new club

Two of the top scorers in L1 last year, Ashley Fletcher and Jack Marriott, and their few seasons before… Ings could be good or crap, we don’t know, but League one is a massive step down from the Championship

If we make him chances he’ll score, and I’m sure he’ll have some nice link up play. He is physically shot which we also know. As an option up front he could be handy, especially when we are going to be passing around against low blocks the whole season

Gonna give the window a little longer before piling on to relegation or promotion. Are small signs of better processes going on, like he fact we are actively involved in multiple incomings and outgoings at the same time and have actually taken some advantage of free agency. Still don’t have much faith but I do think we are having our best start to a summer in a while just purely for the proactive deals over the last week or so

Think you’re right about Page, think he and Braybrooke may be competing for the deeper role and Alves vs Chaplin for the advanced one- wouldn’t be surprised if you’re also right about Alves on the left and we bring another attacking mid in
