How is that significantly different from £6 million plus wages for a three-year contract, unless you want to sell them after a season or two?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Will we outspend any of the top 5 in January?

Well if the player ran down his contract it would be unfortunate, but I'm sure the thinking would be to extend the deal, or sell on at some point.

i would expect us to spend, but not wildly. we must look at goal scorer, because as well as we are doing we aren't scoring enough. left back is a concern and probably a winger and cover/competition. it is the season to gamble a bit, because where we are is a massive opportunity. would be massive let down if we kept the wallet closed and lost in the play offs after missing automatic promotion due to goal difference. we need to add enough new faces to keep everyone sharp while not unsettling the team, so it wont be 10's of millions but i'd expect several million spent.

I think that's pretty close to what is planned although if Bridders returns we could possibly see JFC &/or Ince going out on loan. At 22, Monakana should be an option for the bench, especially (god forbid) if Murphy gets injured in December; if CH can't use him, then maybe he'll be shipped?
As I understood it we were in for Vydra until the last knockings when Reading matched watford's asking price for the loan. On this basis we must've been close to spunking a load of short term money on the risk. And I think he would've done well with us.

Only Fulham have now scored more than us. It could be argued that our issue now is that we are conceding too many.

FFP question. If Dunk recently turned down a £4 million move does that mean he is worth that much as an asset and as such can be offset from any losses? In the same way is Solly now worth £8 million as Southampton seem to think so?
True, but we've relied on the midfield too much for those goals. If Wilson is to stay we should be ok, but there's no guarantee he will.
No.

blimey... funny how something gets in your head and stays. yes, same goals for as Middlesborough and Hull.... get some defenders in!
That's not the point. It was just an example to show that short term money spunking is not always the answer.

Bit confused about the defence bit here. 5th best defence and second best goals scored.

We've got the (at least joint) worst goal scoring record by defenders in the entire football league though: a big fat zero.Bit confused about the defence bit here. 5th best defence and second best goals scored.
Imagine what our score lines will look like when this lot start to chip in.

We've scored the 2nd most goals in the Championship and yet our top goal scorer only has 6 and our defenders are yet to score.
Weird season.
About time Dunk chipped in with one.
