yeh not saying he'd knowingly do it. I meant more than it might have been leaked by an agenet to encourage bids. So its almost certainly true, and he'll have verified it with us I'm sure.
Wouldn't be shocked if it's from our end, with the whole 'ambitious project' part of it

Would be both. I doubt he reports anything with just one source.

It's not in our interest for it to leak, so he was likely going to post anyway. And we may have asked him to add the ambitious project bit :D
 
Feels like too much for a position that isn't urgent imo.
I think it's smart me, not gambling on a step up with Patto in important positions, KLD is clearly ambitious and going by what has been said by KS, we are not here to make up the numbers. We need to stregthen the spine with quality players

If he ends up substandard, it's a big outlay for a player than may end up benched. Nothing is guaranteed.
 
I reckon £13m would be about 10% of our spend. Who knows at this stage…

Agreed. And we need 10 players. So its an "average" signing.

Some will be cheaper. Some will be more.

And more accurately, none of us will ever find out exactly what we're paying.

All that matters is we bring in improvements and quality players. And this lad clearly is.
