    Yep, which is more than Rusyn (about £2.1m) and Hjelde (£1m).

    Until we sell players we will continue to shop in the lower fee market which leads to a lower success rate. We need to focus on the crux of the issue that we are poor at selling.

    Yep, considering things that have came out about other signings being extremely low initial fees and filled with add ons I wouldn't be surprised if they were both much lower, especially Hjelde.

    I think £4.5m is a great price for Conway for Boro when you see some of the other fees going about. We need to sell someone (ideally Ekwah) so we can start spending amounts like that.

    Yep we have no chance until we start to sell players. People talk about not wanting to be a selling club but how on earth do you compete otherwise? I'd sell any of our players tomorrow if it led to improving the squad.

    We made a huge profit on Stewart last season though?

    Scores 1 in 4 at this level. You happy with 11 goals a season for £4.5m?

    Ignoring the add-ons like someone paying the minimum amount every month on their credit card.

    Which is scandalous when you look at who was signed.

    That’s still as facile an argument as it was the last twelve times you made it, mind.

    Factoring in age, his potential and the current market.

    Players score 20 goals in this league and go for 20 million nowadays.

    Outside of Jobe who will be this clubs highest ever sale I agree, but shows the need to get into the next bracket of fees for players to reduce the risk.

    I don't think it is. We have spent what we have on poorer, players who are not robust for the championship.

    None of which guarantees Conway will ever score 20 in a season
