    I’d live in Ocean Village if I could afford it. Could zip wire to work everyday.

    Apparently Che tried to lead a revolution there.

    Not entirely quiet on the Forster front; reports of giggling coming from some camps.

    Certainly in favour of us going after chasing players in the Championship, etc. 15m for Che Adams sounds a bit on the steep side, though.

    I agree with this additional point, we lit the bonfire ourselves, by striking deals on unknown unknowns!!

    If Ralph thinks he has the right attributes to coach and believes he can develop him further then it fair game. We have spent north of £15m on the likes of Carrillo, Boufal and Hoedt. All 3 from top divisions abroad and all older than Adams, as you say, the championship should be used more often.

    Could well be another Callum Wilson, Jay Rod, Lambert etc that steps up to the premier league quite easily

    He is 22. Young English strikers will always fetch a higher than average price. And he does seem very talented.

    I don't disagree with either proposition. However, Adams has a short history of being competent at that level, which introduces a fair bit of risk, and the mooted price is the second-largest ever for a player from League football without first tier experience, behind only Maddison. I haven't seen much (possibly any? Can't remember) of him this year, but in previous viewings he certainly didn't strike me as a record-transfer sort of player, whereas Maddison was clearly too good for the level.

    I want us to get the right player which I hope suits Ralph...don't care about the price...that's for the club to decide. Sometimes you have to take risks if you want something...and sometimes that will work out and sometimes not. The price is immaterial to me as I'm not paying it.

    Not that you want to plan for the worst, but at least signing a young player who has done well in the Championship means that if it goes wrong for them in the PL, there will inevitably be Championship clubs willing to take him off you later. And probably still for a decent price. It doesn't seem to matter how badly Tom Ince continues to do in the PL, a Championship club will always give him another chance.
