Absolutely, if memory serves me right, under Bruce in the Championship we signed low profile players early on and then waited for the season to start. I'm not expecting anything until July.
That's good because the transfer window doesn't open until July. BBC The summer transfer window will formally open on 1 July, although clubs can arrange to sign players prior to that point, and close at the end of August
Season before last many had quite a few down for certain sale and it never happened. Chazz is right imo.
I can't believe brum would pay him anywhere near that - how would signing a knackered & washed out has-been on (at least) 5x the next mans wages be good for dressing room harmony? The thought of it is madness.
Not as much as my eyes are with this hay fever. There's so much pollen in the air I'm spitting out ****ing dandelions.
So you predicted Davies going? Maloney gone too. Speculation re Tom. Also Josh due to mismanagement. Expected Harry, Robbo, Sam. Ehab told us 4 would go. On top of the loans going, leaves us in a horrendous position. If you really believe we are likely to replace these and then have a strong enough squad to challenge, you are very deluded.
But how many have they lost? They didnt have half a dozen loanees and so are starting with good championship squads. We couldn't even field a team at the moment (I suppose goalies could do a Fettis).
They've only lost, quite publicly, the bloke who scored every single goal for the last three years for them askew.
You've followed football long enough to know that you keep the core of your squad, just for the sake of team spirit. We'll be close to losing a full team with loanees/ best players going.
Agree. But we're powerless to stop them going if someone comes in for them. I can't see Dawson going and I don't want him to or Hernandez or hudd or Clucas, as you say for stability. It's going to be hard enough for the slut without a completely new team to mold. But if clubs are interested and they're paying them pl wages then we can't match them.
