No, just pondering and thinking Harris might not be as bad a signing as this thread portrays. 
Not really knowing the budget, if I was in Warnes shoes would I spend the money on Alfie May, or risk Harris with a Lucas Joao and another free transfer.  Not sure I'd want to go into the new season with May, Harris, Joao and Collins as I don't think there are enough goals in that strike force.  
I'm getting splinters on my arse here - need convincing. 
These days Football managers probably can't look long term, so if he thinks May will get us the goals for promotion then he's our man, but he gives us no re-sale value if we don't go up. 
When Arthur spent Lionel's money I feel he always did it with a long term view, based on age and potential, and we recouped or sold for profit - nowadays managers don't have the time.
Has that made things clearer ?!

I am not sure I would go for him, but should it be genuine, Harris might not be a bad bit of business and I'd get behind him if he signed.
Warne has stated, he's not interested in anyone at the club who thinks they are guaranteed a place, so Harris could come in with 2-3 other forwards and push himself and those around him on.  His stats could obviously improve, which some are over obsessive about. 
Although if I'm offered Lucas Joao or Harris, I think I know which one I would choose, but all the financials have to be considered, plus game time, considering recent lost wages for players in a treatment room. 
It's not my money, and I know DC will be prudent but the recent past has made me very cautious about us wasting literally a penny, which is why when some say we should gamble x amount of a hundred grand on Alfie May, whose 30, and probably offers no re-sale value, I think it could be better to look elsewhere. Harris instead of May though, Hhmmmm,
Interesting debate.

Rotherham manager saying that Washi ngton is recovering from a recent knee surgery and saw a specialist on Wednesday.Likely to be some time before he's recovered and fully fit so I'm becoming g increasingly doubtful that we'll be pursuing this.

Yeah but Big Trav....

I believe that is against the rules.  The previous regime at this club would have gone along with that; I don't see Warne or Clowes doing it.
That isn't to say there is not going to be any.  It depends on the rules we are under - perhaps we needed Beilek off the books, or to have booked his fee, to sanction the ability to make the move.   

I always enjoy @Caerphilly Ram ‘s posts. He talks common sense and isn’t part of the forum in joke clique.

Prefer you to keep on keeping on @Caerphilly Ram  and continuing to hold some of the less informed contributors to account 👍

CLOSE THIS THREAD!!!

Jeez this thread is hard going these days ,, it’s like a professor Brian Cox lecture , this number , that number , this percentage that percentage, seems you need a masters in algebra to follow football 😂

Good news. Even if the fee is used to pay off existing instalments, the fact we’ll have 30k off the wage bill would allow us to bring in 4 really good players at this level for the same outlay.

Run around with no end product?  He's already smashing it.

I so hope that someone with the surname "Lake" joins in that conversation (one for the oldies).

You've done it. I won't sleep now....

And - remember - Moreland and Caskey were replacements for Colin Todd and Charlie George!!!!

And this is where stats without context is a problem. Osula scored goals in cup games against lower league opposition (including non-league opposition). This is not representative of a League One season whatsoever.

Because your expectations are repeatedly unrealistic when it comes to the fee we’re going to get. 
There is nothing to suggest we will get  the sort of money you claim for Knight, you’ve said £10 million…. None of the clubs currently rumoured to want Knight will be able to spend that much money on one player. 
Your last comment was “10 times that amount” when someone said £2.5m, that’s £25 million…. There’s no way we’d ever get that and Knight definitely isn’t a £25m pound player at this point.
If there’s a bidding war then perhaps the rumoured £2-2.5m becomes more like £3-4m, maybe even £5m if something crazy happens. But there is pretty much zero probability of any club paying £10m for a player with one year left on his contract at a league one club unless that player is a rare rare talent. And as good as Knight is/could be, he isn’t going for £10m this window. 
 

£2.5m is the most we can expect for Knight in the current conditions. Its a fair chunk of money to use at this level. There is an argument that we could keep Knight and get promotion to get him to sign a new contract. But the player has to want to do it. I think he will want to go. If he does...id take £2m tbh and move on. 

What a ray of sunshine you are ffs

We just need to trust Warne, he knows  what it takes to get out of this league
