The Championship - 2015/16 Stuff It In Here

[Jimothy]

As in?

It's not like news have never been posted on Foxestalk before.

Apologies for not being precise enough when mentioning Hamer's league debut.

News does get reported, but most people feel they can just write for instance, "1-0 Arsenal. Great goal by Giroud".

For some reason you feel you have to put something like "Arsenal take the lead at Selhurst Park. Olivier Giroud opens the scoring. The Frenchman volleying in Ozil's cross."

It's a foxestalk post not a newspaper article.

I don't understand how this would wind you up! Everyone has different styles.

Too much queefing going on in this thread for my liking.

Who do Derby think they are, just seen on east Mids today they all arrived for their home game against Charlton on a coach in suits with ties.

So they stay in a hotel around the county the night before, a bit OTT for a championship club, they're hardly Manchester City.

No harm in looking the part.

 

A play and coaching staff team at the hotel I worked at when I was younger would cost you about 4/5 grand. I wouldn't think that's out of the budget for a side that costs millions.

[The Horse's Mouth]

I'd want them in suits, play with suave my friend.

[Jimothy]

£9m bid for Andre Grey from Bristol City accepted. Madness. 

 

Find an extra £6m and you can have a proven premier league goalscorer in Austin.

[The Horse's Mouth]

He's not even good either. mental stuff that

[Wymsey]

That kind of money means Gray must score very often, and take Bristol City up, to justify that. 

[Asha]

£9m for Andre Gray lol

 

I remember watching him a few years ago for Luton and thinking "Yeah.. he's alright"  £9m though

[EnderbyFox]

Think Luton will receive 1.5mil of that. Great business for them 

[FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife]

makes Nugent look very shrewd business.

 

They are pretty much doing the same as we did in 2011 with Jelavic, Maynard, Long and Beckford 

[Dan]

The Championship's gone as mad as the Premier League in terms of what you're actually getting for your money. Absolutely ridiculous money.

[Soar Fox]

Makes the Nugent & Wood prices look very cheap as both will get you 15 goals.

[RonnieTodger]

Absolutely obscene. Is that what a decent Championship goalscorer costs now?

 

I had no idea he played for Hinckley a few years ago. 

[Super_horns]

It is a good example of why teams do look abroad for better value players (doesn't always work I know)

[Corky]

The Championship's gone as mad as the Premier League in terms of what you're actually getting for your money. Absolutely ridiculous money.

 

And we can afford it in the Premier League (just about). If some of these clubs don't go up after these gambles it's a hell of a risk to the future. Surely clubs will fail FFP without promotion?

[Grandad.]

£9 million for a Championship player to a newly promoted club from League One? Games gone. 

[StanSP]

Obscene amount to spend. 

 

Apparently Fulham are going to bid £5m for Lewis Dunk of Brighton. £5m?!?!

[J.Lisemore]

Feel sorry for the player to be honest, stupid transfer fees spent by mediocre clubs just leads to unnecessary pressure, and if he turns out anything like Beckford, it will weaken him.

It's an example of Championship clubs panicking and not knowing how to do business properly - how much did Afobe cost Wolves? £2 million or so? And his resale value is going to be huge; there's definite value in the English markets but it tends to be picking up young players deemed surplus to requirements from the typically bigger clubs or sifting through the lower leagues. Drinkwater cost us 750k and practically ran the division in 13/14.

And Bristol City won't be going up either, it's an absolutely ridiculous move from them and a sideways move at best for Gray. McCormack written all over it.

this is true is this. some of our deals in the last 5 years or so were superb (ignoring obvious mills/beckford). 

 

eg. nuge for free, our main midfield duo in our ridiculous winning season for what, 1.5mill all in? vardy for a mill etc etc, all english, mostly young and probably pieced together the main parts of the best team the divisions seen for a decade at least for less than half of andre fvcking gray.

In Bristol City's (very slight) defence, Gray is a cracking player. He reminds me of Vardy - former non-league player with pace, power, a nightmare for defenders and with good movement too. He'll be in the Premier League soon. They'll throw money at him but even so I'm not sure he'll move, it is a sideways move and I wouldn't have much confidence in a manager who's saying that his team have a four month hangover after winning League 1. He'll have better teams than Bristol City after him, just depends if they're willing to stump up the millions.

He can remind you of bloody Messi but no Championship player should be transferring to another Championship club for £9million.

The Football League have to do something about this. The FFP rules are not strict enough imo, you just cannot let Championship clubs continue to splash out fortunes of money on players and get away with it.
