Mainly because he’s shit and shown himself to be shit. We will likely get some fee for him so my comment was pretty much tongue in cheek but I’d honestly take nothing for him just to move on from the mistake to be quite honest. My comment about paying someone to take him is only half in jest...

Surprised if we get a fee for Hashioka. Tbh id pay someone to take him, awful. Apparently Lowe isnt available on a permanent but Loan only. In which case cant say im keen, Stoke have already shown they will happily recall him from an excellent situation at Walsall so even if he hits - we will...

According to John Percy from the telegraph on twitter (usually quite accurate for us i would say) Carlton Morris is due to have a medical at Derby next week. We will have to be in for a striker because Adebayo is out for 12 months with a knee injury

All very quiet for us in both outgoing and incoming fronts since the Saville signing. Would have hoped to see a few more solid runours of outgoings to be honest One very faint link has been with Owen Dodgson who seems to be a LB/LWB at Burnley and has been on loan a few times at this level...

I’d think they might want to give Walton a go. He had good reviews from his loans up in Scotland and is yet to actually play here

We’ve officially announced George Saville. 32 year old midfield player most recent of Millwall, apparently they offered him reduced terms so decided to leave. Millwall fans seem positive on him but I sort of hoped we would go younger and athletic in this area. I do think it’s noticeable that...

Signed Kal Naismith permanently. Was on loan for the latter part of last season. Good experienced left sided centre half - always felt he’s better in a back 3 than a 4 though.

Yeah I was wrong about that and misremembered. It was Loan with an option to buy that could ultimately rise to 10m having gone back and looked.

Not to sure about Saville myself, was hoping we would go younger and athletic types in similar vein too Aasgaard/Alli. That central midfield area was a massive, massive issue last season. Still at least he seems robust going off his appearance totals for Millwall, not the usual crock on the...

It’s been announced officially now alongside changes to the recruitment structure generally. He’s not head of recruitment but Chief scout here too with Yousuf Sajjad & Jay Socik who have been here for a little while taking on more leading roles. Like I say - everyone in that area needs to...

Going to have his work cut out I’d imagine, our recruitment needs a big overhaul - not sure it’s been fit for purpose since NJ left and Harford has taken a step back due to age/health

Whilst budget is indeed largely correlated with league position, I would largely point you to what happened to us last season in similar circumstances!

Early for this so let’s see but those tipping us for the title or even promotion Im not sure at all. Remains to be seen yet but it’s already been implied by the club that they aren’t going to be going on any spending sprees and what we do spend will likely be offset by sales of for instance...

Seems more and more likely to me that Thelo Aasgaard isn’t going to be sticking around. The Norway manager has made pretty clear he won’t be picking him if he plays in League 1 and he was as non commital as can possibly be in his interviews with Norwegian media. Funny move at the time it...

Left sided CB is a major area of need for us, has been for 2 seasons with the decline of Bell and now he’s gone there is no one. Still intrigued as to what formation Bloomfield wants to play, think it will be 433 or some variation thereof. Not sure if the current CBs we do have, all right sided...

Was more the squad planning aspect I was referring too RE Kabore. Like you say he couldn’t defend for toffee so wasn’t really a smart signing for us at the time given we were mostly going to be defending for the most part that season, and then as you point out City wanted 14m or something silly...

Was good here but didn’t have great spells at Birmingham or Hull. Played well at left back against us last season though In hindsight a player we should have signed post promotion rather then bring in the pretty average Kabore on loan, and then sign the useless Hashioka to fill that spot. Now...

Not a player move but seems our “Head of scouting operations” Paul Chappell has joined Charlton as their head of recruitment. He left us a while ago and much needed too given how bad we have been at recruitment for a while now He’s worked with NJ here, Stoke and a couple of other places so...

It’s weird because I think some players who have been poor might be decent at L1 level. Andersen being one of those. Bit like you say it’s probably done here as it’s been a disaster of a move for him with his injuries, probably just needs a change for both parties. Was disappointed in Fanne to...

I think it’s undoubtedly who he is as a person and not performative. You have to realise it’s about HIM and his success though, not some deep seated passion for the club or whatever. We understood that the second time through with him and took it with a pinch of salt. Still if he is yours you...
