That’s what I was thinking 🤔?! I said at the start of the window I thought we would break our transfer record this window .... got put down by Topper there again. Not sure it will happen now as Stoke don't want to sell clearly and are moving others around instead. All I will say now is that Wael is a top top owner of this club and is trying to support JB in every way. So did we actually make a record breaking bid for CT?

Would be amazed if we did but it’s about bloody time we beat our transfer record as it must be over 30 yrs old !

No idea ....We enquired as I said earlier - Loan / Loan with chance to buy / buy outright Wael backed JB but I dont know definitely what we offered nor would the person who told me.

That’s not quite what you claimed though . So you *think* we *may* have put in a record bid .

Not record transfer fees maybe, but at least 3 fees in the hundred of thousands paid this summer! McC, Gibbons and Rossiter. I would have thought Evans and other contract increases, plus agents fees, loan fees and relocation payments, plus the re vamp of the coaching and medical teams mean we have spent a considerable amount. Remember Graydon and GC would have nowhere near that sort of budget, so fair play to Wael for funding the costs and huge losses in the last season and a bit.

He refused a new contract at Vale and joined us.

I thought the OP was talking about January not the summer? Regardless suggesting that we've spent hundreds of thousands this season is pushing things when McM was probably the only fee above £100K.

McCormick Rossiter and Connolly were all reported as 100K+ weren’t they?

Rumours seem to have gone quiet. Hoping for a busy week - 9 days left of the window.

What’s betting we hear about a player ( our top target ) we very nearly signed but he ended up at a championship club

Reports coming through that Jake Doyle-Hayes has rejected a move to Rovers as he doesn’t want to leave Hibs… wants to try and find a way back into their team and won’t leave until contract is up. Sounds like a Westbrooke type situation for them.
