BarnsleyOwl96 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thing is I genuinely think defence and midfield is more than capable of doing fairly well and competing (maybe just 1/2 additions ) then when you get to the top end of the pitch it’s really weak , not only resulting in very little goal output but increasing pressure on midfield and defence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no money and no sex appeal now... we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, what divine right do we have to be getting better than Kachunga in? Anything much better than Kachunga would be a real coup IMO We must have some money for fees, otherwise why have Wigan accepted our bid for Windass and how come WBA accepted our £1 million offer for Leko? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a similar thing the other day when Wilder was bleating about how other clubs just seem to be seeing who they were after, and then offering more to take them. Ridiculous notion, and immensely deluded. Players' agents are always likely to leak info so that their client, and themselves, can get a bit more if another club comes in.

Posters need to look at the financials and come to their own conclusions but I believe until the appeal is heard, we’ll be under certain restrains regards new signings, ie a soft embargo.

In a world where League One strikers cost £5m and decent but unremarkable Championship CM's are nearly a million (Luongo last season)... well, it's time to wake up and smell the roses. That £1m was for a signing we desperately need. That £1m is effectively a fee for a marquee signing. It's the modern-day equivalent of £350k for Adam le Fondre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as it stands we have been punished with a points deduction (unless changed under appeal). This means that each of the 3 years following our last submitted accounts have a maximum loss of £13m. With the stadium sale included we cannot be in breach so no further sanction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
