    I don't know how much he's worth or whether we should spend more on him or less or anything but your point of they may wish they'd accepted a lower offer works both ways. If we're relegated we may wish we'd offered a bit more.

    Be funny if whitey turned up and said him and the rest of the media team have been given a couple of days off for free.

    Don’t want to read anything that vile man says, I remember how he encouraged the Millwall thugs to behave at Wembley.

    Weird that when we're selling players their value is just what somebody is willing to pay, but when we're buying it turns into what the other club are willing to sell for!

    Still 3 years left on his contract I believe, they'll want something closer to £2m...

    I dont think this signing is touch and go whether we stay up. I'd rather not risk the amounts in this climate, some clubs will go to the wall

    Right for us to decide what we think a player is worth and not go above that. Whatever we think of the owners these are very difficult Financial Times for football so we should be wary about overspending.

    I agree. As a biased Observer/Spectator it's easy to get wrapped up in the clamour for signings and Express that opinion, but we have to try and have an Independent view of the matter. The ability of the club to stay in the division in these testing Times might depend mainly on having a prudent financial Guardian, and splashing out on Star players could even be counterproductive if it eventually leads to insolvency. That is not to say we shouldn't be ambitious - we all want our day in the Sun, but at the end of the day the owners need to be able look into the Mirror and say that they are doing what they think is best for the long term stability and progress of the football club.

    I doubt it, no bids have been made for Mowatt according to Dane.

    I'd estimate 70% of all transfers are done on deadline day. It's the same every season. One player gets sold in the morning, then the selling club move for a replacement and there's a domino effect. Clubs hold out to try and get what they can off of a desperate buying club. Happens every season.

    You would have thought it would have been a reasonable step in these times for the FA/EFL to abandon the transfer window (assuming it isn't something FIFA thing -which should be campaigned against). It just ramps up the financial pressure on clubs at a time they can ill afford it. ie. if they lose a key player late on in the window they might overstretch to pay for a replacement. Conversely, some clubs (like Donny for eg) might not sell now but if the lockdown continues might reconsider

    Completely agree on this. Clubs should be able to sell if needed through the whole season due to financial pressures.

    True but it is a slightly different subject, one we are discussing
