    You read my mind, I was preparing to ask again ;)

    What’s the maximum quality you can attract in this division, and would you be willing to spend that much for someone to sit on the bench, is it better saved for promotion.

    When Spence returns, as it stands we could have Gray, Gruev, Gnonto, Anthony, Bamford on the bench, that’s surely unheard of at this level.

    A playmaker good enough to dislodge our starting midfield/attack, that’s going to cost us £20m+ and that player isn’t going to join a championship team

    Anthony in the Sini deal, we were short on time, on paper he should start, luckily for us Summerville has kept him out which is a testament to how strong we are

    Buendia cost Norwich £1 million under Farke. £2 million for Onel Hernandez.

    There are some hidden gems out there and that's what I'm saying.....if the right #10 is out there and we can offload a winger (Rat Gnonto) then the squad would be much more balanced. Its not the priority but in a perfect world if we could add a Pablo to this team then we would be unstoppable in this division.

    Pablo was a free transfer btw.

    Maybe bring back orta. He was great at picking up gems, hundreds of them in fact

    Forgot to mention that after 19 games we've finally reached the holy grail of averaging 2 points per game.

    After a highly disruptive close season plus a really difficult first month or so we are now bang on track to bounce straight back.

    Well done 49er's, Farke and the players <applause><applause><applause>

    Hope it's not tempting fate to say we should avoid relegation!

    2 points per game might be good enough for fourth

    More acceptable to lose and concentrate on the league away from home. The travelling fans may not see it that way

    Happy to take our chances with the play offs but would prefer to finish third and then play 6th in the semi final <ok>

    Nick Hammond has been kept on for the next 2 transfer windows, which to me means he is helping get some players lined up. As far as a Buendia goes it could be that potential loans are to be made full time upon promotion, so try before buying a good policy?

    don’t think it matters bud… it’s whoever makes the late charge in good form you want to avoid. Personally, although the play offs are good entertainment, I’d much rather finish second

    Out of Kamara and Ampedu who is the better signing and why ?

    Kamara for me because he's better on the ball, has a superior first touch, tackles whilst staying on his feet and is also very calm in possession.

    Think they’ve both been quality signings. Not sure why you’d want put one above the other

    Maybe because it's all about opinions and it's nice to choose between two players who are doing well for a change <ok>
