    Thanks, good to get people to actually say what they're thinking.

    Watson was £10m, just saying ...

    The solution about what to do with Dan Neil is to do a straight swap with him for Isak.
    Both clubs would get rid of an unhappy player unwilling to commit to them.
    Sorted.

    Name calling has no place on this forum. Encourage others to use the “ignore” feature.

    Well of course no one knows FT.

    But some sort educated guess is not impossible. At end of 23/24 our wage bill was around £30m. 80% of turnover. Last year, we can assume it went up.

    It was widely reported that Dan Ballard's contract, signed last July was in the £20-£25k a week region, which given the overall total is not unreasonable. It is very hard to imagine that Dan Neil was offered less.

    The average Championship wage for 23/24 was about £14k, including four or five teams paying a lot higher after relegation. We do not appear, if these figures are right , ( they from Kieran Maguire and Swiss Ramble) to be short changing players, and no doubt everyone got a significant and well earned uplift on promotion.

    It's up to Dan. But I hope he is thinking for himself. The door is not being knocked off it's hinges, and he should get himself set up. He's earned that. Soon he'll be 24. Time just flies away for a footballer.

    Alderete is off to Sunderland, fulfilling his agent's dream of going to the Premier League. Don't be surprised if it turns out like Ünal, a loan with an option to buy. If it's a sale, it won't come close to the release clause.


    people in the replies saying he was at Madrid airport this morning and Sunderland’s bid was the “loudest”

    Not sure I'd believe that twitter page but he would be a good signing

    Looks like Getafe resigning signed Cuenca off Fulham. A left sided CB.

    Underwhelmed by Alderete but that's down to my sheer ignorance more than anything else.

    I really wanted a marquee signing at centre back. Interested to see how the defence shaped up now.

    Never heard of him until midnight last night so will make sure to do my usual 3minute YouTube scouting before I order a Paraguay shirt

    Do you just come on here to be abusive to our amazing supporters?

    It’s a recurring theme with you.

    Aye Paulo de Silva and Christian Riveros scored goals in injury time against Burundi in the qualifier.
