    doubt it would be more than £5m though. Would make a huge difference to them that fee.

    That's the reason I never post straight after a game, reasonable thinking goes out the window.
    We are ****, not good enough, never get promoted are thoughts that spring to mind straight away.
    Then get up the next morning and realise its just a minor blip and we are doing extremely well.
    KLD had a plan the many ridiculed, but it's been spot on.
    I said at the time the Michael Beale appointment and then writing off the season may have been a blessing.
    I also always believed we would start and spend 7-10 million on players we believed would help us to promotion while also increasing their sell on value.
    I was told that was ridiculous as we had an owner that would only buy teenagers for 1 million and the cash in on them later.
    Seems strange these posters have now lost their voice.
    We have a starting 11 that is probably worth 100 million+ and we are actually trying to keep them for now.
    So many times people mocked THE MODEL, strange it seems spot on to me.
    Or was it because we had a billionaire owner and these small minded people wanted INSTANT success

    He's low risk versus a foreign lad at this stage of the season as well. If we signed him today he'd be ready to start Friday if needed.

    January for me is about bringing in players to make an immediate impact and influence the season. Any long term buys make so much more sense in the summer, unless somebody you've wanted for ages suddenly becomes available.

    Sounds like Frigan to me. I think he is a similar signing to Isidor rather than a Rusyn personally

    I don't think he's necessarily become available though. Westerlo are in a crap position and need to keep their striker. Feels more likely one that would happen in the summer than us pay an over inflated fee for him now.

    I know he's crap now but this is a piss poor way for a club captain to leave a club that's basically made his career. He's apparently refusing to be selected so he can get his money move. The captain ffs.

    My hypothetical £4m bid for Carlton Morris is looking much more palatable:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    From what we hear we have went for a loan to buy with him. He's also scoring this season, he's 6ft 1 so quite similar to Isidor, Might be good to get someone like Frigan who isn't going to kick Isidor out of the team but give him some good competition. All I have wanted from the get go tbf is someone who is the style RLB wants but has scored some goals at senior level. It's a tricky one for sure

    We’ve scouted him for a long time. And now RLB has had a look and said yes

    I know what I’m thinking

    He wants to leave Southampton as he hasn't been been starting and is also out of the Chilean national team (who are woeful at the minute)
    Sheff United are favourites to sign him according to Chilean press.

    Se espera que la salida de Ben Brereton del Southampton sea en calidad de préstamo, similar a lo ocurrido en su etapa en el Villarreal. El objetivo principal del delantero sería recuperar la regularidad y la confianza perdida en los últimos meses.
    En lo que va de la temporada, el ariete ha disputado diez partidos con el Southampton, cuatro de ellos como titular. Sin embargo, el chileno aún no ha logrado marcar gol ni asistir a sus compañeros, y su equipo se encuentra en la zona de descenso.
    El futuro de Ben Brereton Díaz parece estar lejos del Southampton. El delantero chileno, que no ha tenido las oportunidades esperadas en la Premier League, podría regresar al Championship en busca de minutos y recuperar su mejor nivel. El Sheffield United se presenta como una opción interesante para el ariete de la Roja.

    Is Frigan an out and out striker or the versatile type Regis mentioned?

    Half of them penalties, which Wilson doesn't take, and 4 in one game. Gilding the lily a bit there fella.

    It's not my money but I'd be happy with say £8m +£2m based on clauses. I think he'd score shed loads in our team tbh. That £10m could be worth £100m in May.

    Get in there. All that time spent on DuoLingo learning Spanish was worth it. Reading is far easier than listening or speaking, mind.

    It means he's played a lot of games where he's contributed pretty much nothing.

    He’s playing in a poor side who don’t create much. Having a good season

    Being peddled from a PL team kicking around the bottom of the table after 2 goals in 13 in the Championship, with a 1 in 3 at, basically his level, hardly screams PL ready to me.
