Does anyone think we will let anyone else go? I don't see it.

I think after Alzate, the only players we could afford to let go are Furlong and Vaughan. In terms of first team squad everyone left should be involved.

One thing these restrictions have led to, is we've had the mother of all clear outs this summer. There's only Jacob and Omur out on loan that I can't see having a future at the club.

Disappointed about Frigan. Guess it was too good to be true. Think we’ve missed our window to sign him now as he’ll inevitably go to a bigger club in a bigger league. He really wanted to come here too.

A real shame, but even if we were well run the fee was probably too high for a club of our level?

You never know we might find £10m down the back of the sofa and sign him in Jan.
 
I think Baz has been fairly critical so far this summer, pretty sure the podcast took a bit of stick on twitter for being too negative even before the news of the embargoes came out. He's put out a few opinion pieces criticising the club and saying we can't afford to make the same mistakes as last summer as well.

I get the impression he is fed info from the club on the basis that he isn't the one to report it first. Often when other outlets have broken news, he is then quick to confirm it. I guess he would lose his sources is he did otherwise.

Although like others have said, Humberside have been far more critical of the owner this summer. Even after the embargoes, he seemed to be playing it down, based on what the club were feeding him.

One thing that does irritate me about him is when we are rumoured to be signing a player e.g. 2 million for Burstow, he is quick to say "they are paying far less than that" then later on he will drop into an article that we actually did pay 2 million for Burstow. That example may be incorrect but he's definitely done it in the past.
This!

City fans’ attitude to Jakirović vs their attitude to Acun

I really hope we have a decent start, it’s what he deserves. I hope we don’t have the restrictions lifted though so Acun is punished / we become more sensible

Good interview with Sergej:
  1. He's followed Ndala for 2/3 years, sounds like it's him who has identified the signing. Says 95% of the players club sign will be his targets
  2. Hopes to sign 3/4 more players in next couple days (Later says at least 2 before Getafe)
  3. McBurnie first option. Sergej first spoke to him 5 weeks ago and they had everything agreed, but embargo has prolonged discussions. Sounds like fresh offer on the table and is optimistic that he'll still sign
  4. Asked what area we want players "Midfield, one more winger or two, maybe left full back, but we will see situation with Brandon Williams"
  5. Wanted McBurnie and Frigan together, but Frigan not possible
  6. Burstow wanted to go to get more minutes

Also says he found out about the fee restriction on July 3rd.
