    So we have sold 3 players for 97.15 mil and bought in players for 95.08 mil. Sounds like a club that will never hold on to it's best players if we never invest some of the TV money to strengthen our weak areas.

    I too thought this was going to be a promising window as well Hopey.

    I hope our transfer policy isn't going to be bring in cheaper players just to up their market price to sell on. We have done that in the past and it hasn't worked out well.

    Not sure if they are being cautious because of the ground redevelopment but does seem odd.

    For every place higher you finish in the league you get an extra 3m in prize money - 4 places higher not only eases pulse rates but pays for part of the player or on the case of someone like Brereton the whole player.

    Hoping that they are not relying upon Joseph, Dean and Perkins to be able to step up and fill the gap.

    Left back is just crazy not least as we let Davis go who is flying at Ipswich (not saying he would have done that in the prem) and so you would have thought they were going to fill the gap.

    Maybe it is linked to JKA which has gone very quiet.

    It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense

    We’ve a better chance of getting Ted Striker from Airplane.

    It went to the wire last season on the same strikers that we have today.
    Someone needs to go to a school for slow learners.
