Agree but I'd have said exactly the same on promotion to the championship mind. Lets see if he can step up. I think its unlikely but it was then as well!!
Can’t take that risk. Far too laissez-faire of an approach that, because what if he doesn’t

Eh? He's going to be in the squad so RLB will assess him and see. Thats my point. Not saying we shouldn't sign another centre back.

Unless you're suggesting we sell him and he can become one of your enemies? :D

I'm not familiar with most of these players. Bakwa's stats look canny with 6 goals and 9 assists in 30 games. What's he like and can you/others see him being the guy for us on the RW?
I think he's class. Only young and is fast.

He'll probably end up at Chelsea.

Others would be able to give you a more detailed counting report than me.

Impossible to know whether a player will settle or not, the club will be doing all their due diligence as to whether they'll settle into the squad and the country

Hopefully they'll learned from some of our other foreign signings and decided what did work and what didn't work
 
One thing I will say.

if we sign vanat for significant value RLB sees something

KLD will pay if they think it provides value. They’ve earned that trust from us
While I instinctively say yes to trusting the club, our (thankfully failed) pursuits of big money strikers have been almost universally bad thus far

Does seem like a shift from signing players whos ability we like to doing more background searching and character assessment for the squad, isidor and le fee both came in speaking pretty great english and succeeded - that should be the key and sounds like our new DoF is quite adept at finding the right characters who speak the right langauges.

One ‘big money’ failed and that was rusyn. Who was a winger we tried to play as a 9
No you miss my point. The big money strikers we are verified to have chased have often been poor targets when viewed with hindsight. Even on the targets we've missed, how many of them have gone on to be massive breakout stars? Only really Stassin springs to mind for me. Whereas the list of players where I go 'thank **** we missed out' is miles longer.

Cannon is probably a decent player but not really what we needed, so agreed that our targets have been off at times.

Which ones have we missed that have been for sure targets?
 
Cannon, Armstrong and Akpom from the last window alone.
Cannon we pulled out of because the price was too high. We refused to match that high so ‘big money striker’ was because of Sheffield United

as in Adam Armstrong on loan?

akpom had a goal or assist every 2 games at Lille just didn’t get consistent game time
