I’d prefer Marcus Maddison (ex Peterborough I know!!!) to Hiwula. I'd prefer Dwight Gayle (ex Peterborough I know!!!) to Hiwula. I mean, if we're just going to write down players we won't be able to afford now.e How do you know we can’t afford him - I didn’t think we could afford a training ground two weeks ago.

Given he's clearly got his sights set on the Championship, then we've got zero chance of signing him, even if we could offer him a decent L1 contract.

I’d keep tabs on Gnanduillet as he’s wanting to go to the championship but at 28 I don’t know if he’ll get that chance. We don’t know what will happen with JCH and he has picked up a few injuries. With only JCH and an unproven Daly we really need another marquee forward.
Maddison - we can only dream.
Hiwula looks a no brainer to me if we can secure him. Tore us to pieces at the Ricoh in the 0-0. Last year they had so many top forwards so not getting in is understandable.
Omar Beckles has always impressed me and can be LB in a 4 or left side of a three. Also can add some experience which I think we need back there now.

Definitely worth a trial. Unbelievable amount of talent and so highly rated a few years ago. He was actually progressing quite nicely at Cov before injuries struck again...was one of the top scorers last season in the development league they play in. A few examples of his ability on the following link: gaschat.co.uk/post/342812Exeter City are said to be showing interest.

Its the wage budget that's the issue. We could spend millions on players as long as they're wages don't break the wage budget rule under FFP.

It's not an issue if you can afford to pay a transfer fee but there's no evidence we can, plus why pay a fee when there's so many players around anywa on "frees" this summer? We paid fees for Nichols, Payne and Mensah and they were all flops anyway.

We could spend millions on players as long as they're wages don't break the wage budget rule under FFP. From the website: Clubs in the League 1 and League 2 operate within a Spending Constraint framework termed Salary Cost Management Protocol (SMCP). SCMP limits spending on player wages to a percentage of club Turnover. In League 1 clubs can spend a maximum of 60% of their turnover on wages - in League 2, the limit is 55%. There are no restrictions (in themselves) on the amount a club can lose or spend on transfer fees. www.financialfairplay.co.uk/scmp.php

We paid fees for Nichols, Payne and Mensah and they were all flops anyway. Not sure why you are asking me questions. I was just responding to Chewbacca saying there is no problem spending £3 million on a player in League 1 as doesn't effect the wage budget. I only said we could do it, as an example. I didn't say I want to do it or if we can or cannot afford it. It was just an example used. Personally, I don't think we will ever see us spend £1 million on a player in m life time.

There are no restrictions (in themselves) on the amount a club can lose or spend on transfer fees. www.financialfairplay.co.uk/scmp.phpThat is all about wages. I believe there is no restriction on spending money to buy a player - transfer fee. Just a restriction on the wages to make sure we don't go over the 60% of the clubs turnover.
Im using stupid figures now as it's just easier to do the calculations... If the clubs turnover was £10 million then they can spend up to £6 million on wages (60%). There is no restriction to buy the player from another club. Transfer fee's doesn't impact the wage budget - the SCMP.
