Have We Signed Anyone Yet?

Peterborough are always quoted as doing this like it is sound business sense and works. They have spent 2 of the last 10 seasons in the Championship. We have spent 5 of the last 10 in the Championship.

Not saying you're claiming Peterborough are the model to follow but I've seen it on here a few times, like they are masters in business and always get great deals. I'd suggest they don't based off of those numbers alone.

Last season we would of potentially lost Smith's goals, Ihiekwe's team of the season performances and a number of other players (of varying importance). Yes we may have recruited to the same quality but we very may well not of. Personally I'd take promotion and losing those players that we did, than collect a couple of mil, tops, in transfer fees.

Yes, i totally agree. But Cheio is a very saleable player, Irish International. Balaser is attracting good offers, Wiles is attracting good £££, if they don't want to be here and play for us then sell them..............we move on, like them......UTM

Read this and forgot to reply. I agree with you in that, hypothetically, if Wiles had a year left and said to the club that he won't sign a new deal under any circumstance and someone offered 5mil say, you'd be a fool not to take it. I wasn't really talking about individuals but as an overall concept. Not sure transfer listing everyone automatically garners great returns always. Someone could be worth more by staying, contributing to success, and then leaving for nothing. Potentially.
