Good to see Rob Dickie evidently enjoying himself so much.Who are the 2 players in the middle? One is hidden (not sure if intended to be) ?

Zig & Zag would be good!Punch and Judy?

Am I the only one who is not massively enthused about Liam Kelly signing?? Was with us for along period of time last year and hardly played. Spoke to an ex colleague of his when he was at Bath City who said he is ability but has no guts and not physical or quick enough for league one or two! Have to agree that he looked slow when he came on in any games.
It’s our number 22, call yourself a fan?
We don’t want to sign permanent deals for players we can then sell for millions in some cases, and get sell-on clauses which could be worth many hundreds of thousands more, when we can just loan a limited amount of players because they’re now easier than ever to be hoarded by those higher up. Why offer good wages for Roofe, Lundstram, Brannagan and others, when you can have your budget slashed and just get some rather than all of them for a single season, before they disappear back to their parents clubs without making you a penny in sales?
That deal you offered Marcus Browne that you nearly got him to sign before Middlesbrough rocked up at the 11th hour? Well, you won’t even be able to offer him that deal he was close to signing in the first place now - you can’t afford the wages you were willing to pay him by law. And now Middlesbrough won’t even have to pay other players what they’ve been paying him to usurp you. You can only offer a player £1500 a week max, so now they only need to pay them £3000 a week to double your offer and vacuum up the asset. Previously they were having to offer double that to snatch them off you, because you yourself could offer that £3000 a week, which also meant they were more selective. So while they might have blocked you off on a Browne, they weren’t so sure on those Roofe’s and Lundstram’s and Brannagan’s that you were able to get over the line before. Now, however, they’re available for half the salary and therefore they’re cheap punts, which means the frequency with which they block you off goes up because they have to spend less than ever to blow your offer out of the water, meaning they’ve saved money on a deal that stops you being able to own your own assets. Thus making it harder for you to actually own anybody of value that hasn’t come from your own academy or some dimly lit backwater, and therefore keeping you as pinned back and restricted as possible.
But then you know all that, you’re just being silly
Enjoy the transfer thread - there’s movement afoot! There will be plenty of time on the correct channels for simple, common sense economics to be broken down and explained repeatedly. I’m even considering getting some hand puppets to help!
Don’t ask me.?Is ee the geeza with the mince pie tat?
McGuane is 21, so that leaves an extra space in the team.. correct?

It doesn't! Unlikely, but you could have a squad of 20 years and one player on £48k a week!Where does it say in the new regulations that we can only offer every incoming player the average weekly L1 salary as a maximum?

If not there should be but would it be able to keep up?isn’t there a footballers tattoo database ?
Michael Appleton and Sean Rigg would be near the top for the amount of tattoosIf not there should be but would it be able to keep up?
