I loved Ebou and what he brought to the side last season, but not so much that I would be willing to spend more than he's worth.

I think anyone who genuinely now thinks the expectation is to finish 1st, and that that is what we should judge Warne on over the season, needs their head checking. 
Saying that though I am surprised Clowes has decided to comment on budget again. On first listening I took his comments to mean we would be able to be competitive in regards to be able to rival other clubs with bids for players. If that’s not what he meant, fair enough - but he should maybe be clearer or just avoid commenting on it at all. 
I don’t think it’s fair to get upset with supporters for raising their expectations a bit in terms of spending power when these sorts of comments are being made by the man holding the wallet. 

Hoping that’s not rain at Glastonbury Festival…

It depends on what you mean by “raising their expectations a bit”. 
 
The comments he made should allay (at least temporarily) fears some folk may have (including a handful on this forum) that the budget we have (and consequently the players were likely to sign) means it will be a miracle if we survive but, it shouldn’t cause anyone to suddenly think we’re going to win the league. 

This is an excellent first signing to make as your first one after promotion back to the championship.

Great start, Paul! 🐏

If this happens, it obviously might not work, it’s just so pleasing that it shows some effort to scout and think outside the box. 

Fantastic first signing 👏

Totally appreciate what people are saying about his time at Swansea but they had a bizarre season last year with their managers - how was he supposed to succeed in that?
Id rather look back to his time at Blackpool where he was excellent. One thing about Warne’s system is that he’ll get opportunities - who knows who he might be playing up top with, too?
If we start the summer off with Osborn and Yates I think that’s excellent - especially if there’s no big fees!

We have to be missing something here - got to be one of those where he's better than he looks on paper. Or here's just your classic grafter. I don't know. Trying to give Warne the benefit of the doubt but it seems like a long contract (and possibly a lot of wages) on some not all that impressive.
I guess it's another Championship quality player signed with no [transfer] fee, though?

I have just texted my Ipswich supporting mate for comment 😊

or Rotterdam... or anywhere, Liverpool or Roma?
