    Maybe we started letting the Head Coach have more influence than the spreadsheet?

    We've still got Williams, Mowatt, Brittain, Styles, Kitching, Sibbick, Kane, Woodrow. We've not deviated too much from what has made us successful in the transfer market, and I bet we churn out some of the so-called failures for not far off what we paid for them so it's not the money sucking strategy some like to think.

    Maybe that's the real reason Harry Kane didn't play for Spurs yesterday and not that he'd injured his ankles ;)

    I suppose some of the players going out on loan will eventually leave permanently.

    The hit rate does seem to have been slightly lower with the european signings. But there's still plenty of successes - Andersen, Dougall, Sollbauer etc. I think we're better off having access to that pool of players

    Hourihane, Winnall, Scowan etc... we're all highly rated and we signed the club's best players, probably promised first eleven not squad player. Now we sign alot of youngsters and it seems to be failing.

    Its just not as easy to sign from that pool. Not impossible, but much more difficult.

    Both released, as a result, their transfer and signing on fees crystallised at a loss.

    We tried to sign Doncaster's best player, but we were priced out of it. Looks like both Kitching and Aitchison were highly rated at Forest Green, but obviously that's a level down. But hopefully we'll get to see why.

    We're top half of the championship, having signed most of our team in the last 18 months - 2 years. Helik and Brittain came in in the summer and are great. Jury still out on Kane. Seems to be working fine to me.

    I don't think we need to get hung up on the youngsters who don't make it - we've had this speculative approach for the under 23s for years. Miller has been a waste of money, but Styles has been fantastic. Not all of them will work out but it's a good area of the market to find some bargains in.

    It's a shame a lot of the punts haven't come off. Tuton, Phenix, Miller, Marsh, Ash that lad Harry from Kidderminster, Payne, Jackson, Kern Miller, Toni Silva, Schmidt etc.

    Then you have those that have prospered at other clubs Clark and Berry.

    Patrick Cryne used to say that the majority of those that you've mentioned cost us next to nothing and it just made sense to be the first club to take a closer look at them and bring them in. For every Vardy there's probably 200 duds.

    He basically said the cost for the likes of Ash would be so minimal that 12 months training with us would allow you to recycle them back down the leagues, but at a higher standard than they came from, for about the same money, because they would be better players. And then you've got those you let go that you might get wrong, and the sell-on clause covers you e.g. Kayden Jackson to Ipswich and £200k to Barnsley (or whatever it was).

    Never realised it was that much. That's good business.

    Just had a message to say he's going to Huddersfield. Might we get a few quid?

    I doubt he's going to make anybody a profit on this next transfer. Not all sell-on fees continue down the line ongoing and the majority are just of profit made not total transfer value.

    It does feel like in the last 2 years or so the head coach has had a far bigger influence on incoming players

    Definitely with Struber. I think the expensive flop that was Ritz and not getting Brittain before Ludewig might have made it harder for Big Val to force their hand this time around. Plus the Brexit debacle meaning we just have to look closer to home.

    Yeah it was Struber's 2 windows. He got in Sole and Ritzy.

    Before that I suppose Stendel got Bahre too
