Number 9 for Otchere at Cheltenham

Stolarczyk Joseph, Okoli, Souttar, Thomas Braybrooke, Skipp Alves, Cullen, Watson Reid McCarthy and Chaplin probably gonna miss this

There is a submission at the start of the summer and then that gets updated as and when there are changes with players in and out etc.

Tap in from McGrath / Percy tbh

Can’t see us signing centre backs or defensive mids until they leave - we can’t carry the wages of them and new signings Maybe other than a young one on loan

I don’t think it is that young though - there is already a lot of older and experienced players in there - with a lot of games at a higher level Burns has to be the last “experienced” player we sign, we have plenty of them and don’t need any more Keepers - 36, 27, 25 Right Backs - 27, 20, 19 Left backs - 25, 19 Centre backs - 28, 27, 25, 22 Centre mids - 28, 25, 22, 20, 18 Wingers / attacking mids - 33, 29, 28, 27, 21, 20, 18, 18, 17 Striker - 23*

Stoke apparently looking to buy George Hirst for about £10m Surely we had a sell on clause in that deal, we sold him for £1.5m

Gonna be like Spurs and Maddison where we start buying their crap so its like we never actually got any money for the player we sold them Who else they got we could sign until its like we never got the money for Fatawu?

I doubt he would get offered that by a team in the Championship at the moment

Carr would be better off starting every week somewhere in league two like Otchere if we can get him that loan Looks like Abdulmalik will cost more than £1m and have much better suitors than us anyway unfortunately The club not taking advantage of ESC spaces for non work permit players the past few seasons is really annoying We can only have 2 this summer I believe in league one and Bristric will be one and ideally you then go and get some big bastards at centre back and a cheeky winger from Asia / South America but we won’t really be able to

They still spent over £30m total We will likely only spend 10% of that

One of the the first things I noticed as well haha

I doubt we would be settling for players like that as well if we had owners who were willing to and allowed to just throw money at it like Birmingham and Wrexham could

Even if it is just a 1 year deal I am not really a fan of this signing 32 in a few months, hasn’t played a lot in the past 2 seasons and has done his ACL in that period We do need a right winger coming in though because if Alves is seen as first choice currently he does pick up quite a few knocks and Riley Carr would be better off out on loan

Yeah

Signed a new 1 year deal with Ipswich last month… https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2026/july/05/wes-extends-town-stay/

I am looking forward to seeing which signing tips us over the edge Will Smallbone on £30k a week

No one will really know Websites like Capology are rubbish and even the annual wage figures aren't just based on the players basic weekly pay The only thing we really know about wages at the moment is that probably quite surprisingly we aren't failing the SCMP financial rules for the league which means we are spending less than 65% of our turnover on wages

Looking forward to keeping an eye on this one

Will do him a lot of good and much better for him to be playing every week for Cheltenham rather than probably not even on our bench by the time the window closes

Why not both? Capcom are doing really well at it

Even if Skipp looks more stocky and physical he doesn’t really show it in matches anymore than Braybrooke does

Braybrooke definitely isn’t too small and weak to be in that role - yes it was in a lower league but he was good at it in league two, whilst also still doing the going forward stuff which Skipp can’t do

You would hope that as it would be money we can't really have expected that it would mean we could spend it Doubt it though
