Kamara still in the summary @Feedthewolf New contract for Gunn needed!
-
On paper I think we’ve done pretty well. We needed to sell to buy and we got good deals for all our players out. Sara was never going to be here end of the window and the other three wanted out so happy to see them gone. Sargent still here is a massive win, he’s the best Centre forward in the division for me, getting one more year at this level is a massive difference in the potential of this team’s season. We’ve invested money purely in potential. There are a bunch of talented players now in the building and while they may not all be a success it’s an exciting strategy. We also spent big for us, a clear change of Championship direction which given our loss of parachute payments shows the increasing influence of our changing ownership. The purchases all seem part of a coherent strategy of play, I think you can clearly see why they were brought in even if it doesn’t work out. We’ve also added some interesting additions to the development team, it’s been very busy. Only slight negative for me is not getting a permanent replacement for Kamara but I’d rather we loaned than panic bought. Time for some new contracts now, Gunn in particular needs tying down. I always want to be optimistic in a window, you’ve got to give them time to see the potential turn into progress. As others have said proof of the pudding… Another 10 games and we’ll have a much better idea of how successful this window was, but I personally can’t see much wrong with what we’ve set out to do and then done.

Between £500 and £600000? Place your bets. Im going £4000 and a lorry full of Irn Bru -
I’m not complaining about the business, once he made it known he wanted to go and given the likely fee of this all goes through I think Knappers done very well. I just think saying it doesn’t reflect badly on the club in any way is a bit naive given this is a young academy graduate who decided he didn’t want to be here despite continuous dialogue to keep him.

Do they ever listen and act?

Yes, to be fair it’s not like this isn’t preventable. -
Ah ok, did wonder. It’s been what 3 years? Edit: ok that explains it, poor lad. Pelvic growth issue A pelvic growth issue sidelined Gordon for almost a year and a half. In that time, he was not always able to train and was placed on a specific training programme. Gordon will be given a personalised plan on his return, with the club careful to overload him, but his rehabilitation is currently on schedule.

Sara is not having a good time in Turkey

Pretty sure we wanted the money, he got a big pay rise. Was probably seen as a win win.
