7m on Idah
5m on Inoussa

I know those prices might not be correct but you get my drift 20m does not always go very far.

£1.5m Galbraith. £20m can go very far indeed

FLW reporting Oxford interested in taking Key on loan.

Maybe not the most reliable source but even they can be right sometimes

Isn't the club policy to buy, sell at a profit, develop, buy, sell at a profit,, develop ?

Yes thats the business model they have .
They also need to balance the quality of the team going forward .
I would keep Vp then sell him in the summer to bring in another 2 or 3 players , 1 defender plus 2 attackers.

Loan to a team in the relegation fight!

Fully agree with the balance etc

If a big/good offer comes in I'm glad I'm not the one making the decision.
The fee could be at its highest?
Can we replace in limited time without the threat of relegation.

Some would say that's a good thing.

Not serious just a bit of humour

Glory Nzingo has joined St Pats Athletic.

Shame it didn't work out, think we paid about 500k for him.

 

[Smurph]

Not sure how reliable this is

Jump at the opportunity- he'll finish them off and send them down

Absolutely it can, do we trust the recruitment team with 20m.

It's so difficult, we have more misses than hits when it comes to transfers (but I suppose that's normal at most clubs).

Look at the window when Vipotnik arrived not great as things stand the biggest outlay was Bianchini and this summer it was Idah and Inoussa.

Are we poor at big money signings or does the expectation changes the more that is spent.

Look at the current team Vip was free and Vig about 400k, Burgess also free we would be buggered without them. Yet 12m or thereabouts on Idah and Inoussa and now both injured and will they be missed !!

But they need goals.

Benson officially gone, what a letdown he was.

I think money has a big thing in these things rather than nightlife and shopping.

Most definitely. I would again argue that, after money, proximity to family/friends would generally likely come next. I don't think nightlife and shopping are that important to most footballers. And, as someone said earlier, if it is we don't want them anyways.
