7 figures, yet we accept peanuts for proven L1 players...
Great signing for Bolton. He will suit the way they play. Selling Madine for £6mil and replacing him with Doidge and Magennis for roughly £1.5mil is great business I would say.

Oh that's a shame then especially as some of their fans are scared of Rodman giving their fullbacks the run around.

Another target would have been a dud omelula gone back to Yeovile on loan, meanwhile Chaplin to Cov, clough to Rochdale and O Kane to Luton, spotting talent ain’t difficult, thought TW would come with a few gems up his sleeve. Just hope we stay up this year, another bad start how many times have we said that FFS.

How can Diodge be worth £1m+ when we only got £750K for Harrison, who's gone straight into Ipswich starting line up! What's worrying is teams around us seem to have signed some real quality players meanwhile we've still no real dominate CB and no obvious goal scorer. WE may as well saved Widdington's money and used it for a player's wages, FFS we've even got his son on the payroll as well!

You have to question just what is the point of having a Head of Recruitment.

You may as well use Football Manager to scout players. In fact, some do...

Doidge over rated imo. But Eunan OKane going to Luton a very good signing. Shame we didn’t get him! UTG!

Nope neither of them but he is Bristolian.. I’m good at guess who is it Jason Dodd 😂 Jason is a Bathonian. His mum and mine shared baby sitting duties over us two. Apparently I didn't play footy much with him as he was always too good for his own age group!

WE may as well saved Widdington's money and used it for a player's wages, FFS we've even got his son on the payroll as well! Appreciate the first point but rarely as simple as that. Depends a lot on wages, signing on fees, length of contract left at previous club, and...how much that club are willing to pay / have in the bank (especially if they've just sold someone). Plus how that player is expected to fit in. Sometimes a mgr really wants a certain player, which can push up the price / wages they are prepared to pay. Bottom line is that there is a huge amount of money at championship level, and bargains for them to be had in Lge 1. And not just the fee but also wages. In general though I think it is a little weird how we used to be famous for producing decent players and getting good prices for them. Recently we've scrapped around & still got less than their talents should be worth.

Probably bullsh*t from FGR - a tenner says the fee announced in January will be "undisclosed" (or the seven figures are £50,000.00).

They're not a very good team but they are effective at the physical and uglier side of the game. Those sorts of teams are usually the ones that will stay up in a relegation battle.

Its all about opinions of course. I think bolton will finish 19th-24th. Your turn?
