Good young player is Field. Tall and with a bit of pace, he's got great technique and can pass it about well - good left-footed corner and free kick taker, good when facing scoring opportunities too. He's an ok defender, but recovers well and has the ability to pick his game up mid-match if he's...

They haven't broken anything yet, have they? If they sell any of those players for an increase on the fees they've paid, then they should theoretically be in profit. If Benham spent £50m this summer and then sold those fir £60m next summer, then that works within FFP (salaries dependent of...

Ownership - Sunderland are struggling to appoint/attract anyone as the owner is desperately looking to sell, but asking for too much money. So an incoming new manager will have no view or understanding as to the landscape at Sunderland in 3 months time. If they had stable ownership and money...

I think it's more an insurance move for us in case a bid comes in for Bentley in January.

All keepers drop the ball from time to time. When he started that game there was a sense of real nervousness from the Bees fans which fed into Bonham. It certainly didn't help. The cross where he gets beaten to it I think he actually does quite well. None of our players are near the ball and...

Bonham has excellent potential as a young keeper, and I'd be surprised if he wasn't your first choice. Great shot stopper and regarded as having the best distribution amongst our three keepers, he simply hasn't played too frequently and therefore might lack some of the confidence of more...

I seem to recall it being just shy of €3m, which was around £2.1m at the time http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33363255 Yeah, I think Jota was €1.5m, which would have been just north of £1m, so there are a few in that £1m ball park in the space of 12 months/two summer windows. Most have paid...

We dropped around £2.5m on Canos in January which is our current record. Since we've come up we spent around £2.1m on Bjelland, £1m on Vibe and I think Hofmann was just shy of that. Hofmann we moved on at a loss, whereas Bjelland did his ACL in his first game, missed the whole season and seemed...

I disagree regarding Jota - was back to his best tonight. Totally enigmatic.

Put in a similar bid for Judge last January as well. I suppose you got to start somewhere, but best not to go into negotiations looking like a fool from the off!

Quite reliably informed by a very ITK fan that it's 25% - although it would suit us to put the word out that it's 30%, as it might shave a few £'s off asking prices for any players we bid for. Rochdale did well out of that, as the two other players we bought that summer (and the previous...

We've been linked with Sam Winnall should we sell Hogan this window. Would be quite pleased with that.

We've got a sell on clause in Tarkowski's transfer, but I can't imagine he'll go for a profit. That said, we're owed north of £1m if Burnley stay up this season as part of that transfer, so it would be interesting to see what would happen should he leave before Burnley stay up!

That's the point though, we don't want to cash in. Ideally we want to keep him. We know his worth and he'll only leave for that amount. With more than one bidder, crazy January prices and us not wanting/needing to sell, then we're in a healthy position to negotiate. We got just shy of £6m for...

I think the positive circumstance that we have in our favour concerning Hogan is that there may be a bidding war. I'd compare Hogan to Kodjia more than to McCormack given Kodjia and (potentially) Hogan are both going for big fees after ~1 season at this level, whereas McCormack has now played...

We received £9.5m in total for Gray and with Kodjia going for silly amounts, I reckon we could hold out for more than £9m as he's a better striker than both. Only downside if 18 months on his contract, but the crazy amounts of money being spent on players nowadays should mean that's not a...

Josh Clarke for us. On loan at Barnet last season - and we've not had an academy player make a dent in the first team for years - but he's holding his own and performing well. A lot of players hid in our defeat to Newcastle but Clarke put in a shift. Not many opposing players or management (or...

Exactly this. As well as large scale successes, such as promotions, I really enjoy a good come back too. On a recent level, turning 1-2 into 3-2 in the last few minutes against Portsmouth a few seasons ago was great, as well as the 0-3 at half time against MK Dons to equalise in the last minute...

Going well for us at the moment - 13 for and 2 against at home all season, and we could have had a bucket load last night. Reading were passing it around nicely but not having much of an impact, we started very brightly but then sat back a bit until Reading hit the post. That seemed to spark us...

Never! :dk:
