Agree. The signing of Egan in isolation is really good, but his signing without getting rid of another CB just seems odd - even if it had been sending Burns back, who surely now won't even get on the bench never mind on the pitch. Every one of the wingers signed, Lincoln, Amrabat, Barry and Gelhardt - in isolation potentially good to brilliant, but leaving us with 8 options when added to Burstow, Vaughan, Omur and Kamara (not even including Sinik or injured players) on the wing having only got rid of Longman is just frigging mental for a team toeing the line on FFP. Crooks and Matazo, v happy with both, but when Palmer comes back it feels like we've got 1 too many players there, not a massive issue, but additional expense we could do without, though admittedly in this case I don't think we could have reasonably shipped more than Mehlem and Simmons out. We've got to hope that we can ship out one, or two, more players to countries where the window is still open....getting Omur and Sinik off the wage bill, even if only a percentage of their wages would be progress

Keep in mind Egan has barely played in the last two years it's not as it he's going to slot straight in.
 
I think Baz said 2m reports were inaccurate at the time. He 100% described the deal as a 'no brainer' which suggests something a lot less.

Yes that might be what I'm thinking of, I thought Baz said something about it being under 1m up front. No doubt there are add ons but I wouldn't have thought any have been triggered yet (except maybe appearances).

I'm sure most on here are old enough to remember the days of one substitute, no matter who got nobbled he had to go play, maybe a bit of a shuffle around but that was it. Now it's like trying to build an 11 piece jigsaw with 18 pieces, he's a 6 but not an 8 he's a 9 but can be squeezed into 10 and so on.
It's a game of football why is it getting so complicated?
Even in the days of no substitutes the injured player was shifted onto the wing
 
So's Omur and Giles being on 35k, yet here we are.

If Metazo continues to play how he did in his debut (and potentially better once up to full speed) then if be happy for him to take Giles and Sinik’s wages.
 
Not clicking on that and supporting the same owner as swasticars, but what did it say?

I don't blame you, apologies.

Ruben Selles to me on Gustavo Puerta: “he’s still an important player for us - I just decided to go with a different set up in the last couple of games”. He’s answered fan’s questions about any obligation to buy him after a set number of games.

Ruben Selles on Mason Burstow’s reported move out of Hull City on Monday: “the only thing that I can say is I told the club I don’t want a player going to a direct club in The Championship right now”

Surely the brains team didn't need Selles to tell them it wasn't a good idea to send Burstow to Plymouth.

No one's ever said how big the brain is.
