AKCJ Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 Not enough upsides to account for the downsides. Would be extremely Leicester to make this happen for a player that will obviously leave us for free having taken £20m in wages with less than 100 games played. 1

RedSoxUK Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 Will add that we just sold our 2nd best RB to the PL and our 4th best winger to the favourites Ipswich. This league IS shit and we've got a lot of quality.. rough around the edges and not many goalscorers, but it's obvious where we need improvements. We're 2/3 correct signings away from being close to the top, CM, AM, ST - and ideally a LB if we sell/loan Kristy
AKCJ Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 1 minute ago, AjcW said: Is there anyone at all your would like us to sign? A fullback, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker. I wouldn't want any of those players to be older than 26/27 and I wouldn't want to pay any of them 100 grand a week. 1

TJB-fox Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 It’s a shame his wage demands are so high because he would be a great signing.
moore_94 Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 I imagine he is waiting to see if someone like Everton or West Ham who are after centre mids panic on deadline day after struggling to get deals done and throw him a good contract
stevostadium Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 So many people on here with there heads in the sand. He isnt coming. We certainly wont be offering 29 year olds 3 year contracts on 50K a week. It looks like the club have learnt there lesson on that one, thankfully. Dont expect any incomings just 3 or 4 more out the door. Also been told there is something in the Nixon story but the mercury reported its not true, so they must be right! Been shot down enough for suggesting otherwise Mercury is Click bait at its best. 1 1

Pliskin Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 It’s not true. The EFL HAVE to publish any embargo’s imposed… if they’ve done this without following the correct procedures then we can hang them out to dry legally… again. Nixon is a wind up merchant and nothing more. He’s wholly inaccurate and rarely gets anything right. 1

mozartfox Posted 26 August 2025 Posted 26 August 2025 Not sure Josh Brownstuff is the type of player we should be signing. Here is hoping Marti has some irons in the fire before the window closes. Surepy our Recruitment Team have some targets??

Yes, we need to get back to the model of the past of buying cheap relatively unknowns but that can only happen if you've got a spine and they can be integrated gently. We are lacking quality in midfield and Brownhill is free and has an unbelievable track record at this level so he's the exact type of player we're after.

We have a scouting network and a Recruitment Team. If their activities are confined to just Josh Brownhill, then they all need firing. Value for money being ignored with bringing in highly paid stop-gaps has got us in part in this PSR position. So this question on recommendations should be addressed to the Club - not me.
