Half the division are well over that number - a few are more than double that. Its also more than double the entire revenue for some of the poorer clubs. I cant believe they'd be able to get the clubs to agree to it As it stands one of the parachute payment teams could have a wage bill almost as much as the entirety of League 1 when the cap is implemented in that league. The gap is gigantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument he's a panel himself The trouble with that is that a panel tends to be somewhat flat. Not so for burnt Kenneth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked a few friends of my son who work in journalism they came back with the answer no we are not under a embargo. They said the sports guys said look around nothing much is happening even at the top end anywhere. Clubs waiting to the last minute before moving, saving cash and players finding the contracts they want are not on offer outside the elite clubs.

And the problem for us and other clubs, and players and their agents, is that the window doesn’t close until October 5th (3weeks after the season has started) and even then has another 2 weeks when deals with the EPL clubs can go ahead. If clubs leave it until the last minute as per usual we may not have a settled squad until early November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 We really have to assume we have what we have. Wisdom, Bielik and the new Dutch guy fighting it out for centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bielik was no where near as effective for Charlton on the occasions he played centre back, compared to when he played central midfield. He dallies on the ball (a flaw Bowyer specifically said he targeted in the match at the Valley). I think Bielik and Shinnie will be backup for Rooney and Bird.

I don't dispute we could do with another though I don't think my eyes, my heart or my head could take watching Forsyth at centre half ever again. Davies has been a good player and he seems like a top professional and a genuinely lovely bloke. But he isn't at this level anymore. Not been the same since that injury at Stoke.

dcfcreece1601 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I can see us making no transfers until this is over and I bet it will be after the transfer window closes , so no signings and another transition season watching all the 18 year olds improve but getting best comfortablely by the top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
