Absolutely. Don’t get me wrong, if there’s a homegrown deal there for big money but the club think it’s a fit, they’ll do it. I’m giving up predicting what we’ll do because not much looks off limits at the moment :emoticon-0102-bigsm just enjoying the ride mate.

It’s amazing mate. Them early bird prices making us feel like we’ve robbed our club right now <laugh>

It's why the approach has been sustainable and ensuring that uk based players are sold for big licks. It's creates massive headroom to reinvest. It's also why the new DOF has come in as it's next level overview of top talent across the continent.

It’s almost like there’s always been a long term plan! I hope those who battered KLD and KS over the last 2 or 3 years are feeling very stupid right now.

If we look the last 2 playoff winners Luton didn’t really spend a lot they built for going down and coming back up (that worked out well for them didn’t it?) and pocket money for the new stadium.

Southampton have been poor in recent times in the transfer market gone are the days of them signing top young talent that’s how they ended up where they are they missed on replacements for out going players

This gives me hope that the prem isn’t a closed shop yet

Not that I'm allowing myself to believe in the possibility of Amad but would him and Diarra not essentially play the same position anyway?

Or would the fact that they both seem to like that inside right channel make them perfect to combine with one starting on the wing and the other in midfield?

Nah different positions, Amad would be our RM option and Diarra would be our no10 or no8 option

I remember when I started posting on here, in the league 1 days and there was chat about what are KLDs ultimate ambitions here. I remember thinking well obviously try and get us back to the prem and then he’ll make his money ten fold. I always had a bit pessimism about it because I just couldn’t see him sticking around long enough for us to get back to the prem when you think back to what he inherited.

Here we are 4 years later and after these reports the last week of the profile of player we’re trying to sign, I’m again wondering what actually are KLDs ultimate ambitions here? Feels like he’s all in atm and it’s not to be a yo-yo team, it’s to be competitive in the Premier League.

Obviously we haven’t got anything done yet, it might not all work out, we may go down comfortably but bloody hell it’s exciting right now and I’ll take that after going through the past decade following the lads.

Nice post mate, good take on it that.

It's the speed and unruffled way it's all been done that's staggered me. Even if we hadn't went up, this lot would have held their course, and probably stepped up another notch or two.

There's a long list of teams in the Championship that have been away from the top level for years and look nowhere near getting back, always having yet another reset. Most obviously Sheff Wed for 25 years or so and heading in the other direction.

Why they KLD did it I don't know. But pick this club up he did, and he and KS have shown any other club a text book approach on how to pursue the goal, without spending the earth.
