Even if we didn't sell Knight and Bielik, we would have been able to pay the necessary installments and be within our limits. Now you could make an argument about clearing debts ahead of schedule but I don't know why you would ever do that, especially when our team needs significant investment. jimbobram, Caerphilly Ram, DCFC1388 and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Brannigan costing a bit more than that. 2 years left and he’s arguably their best player. Probably looking more at 2m just for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we have Bieliks money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Brannagan would be a very good replacement for Knight, but would probably cost something similar. If I’m Oxford, I’m using Knight as the benchmark. I’d really like to see us take a chance on Moxon - he’s exactly the type of player I would want at Derby if I’m Warne. I also like that he’s punching up and trying to carve out a living, talent and desire is a good mixture. He gets involved at every level - he’s excelled at every level. Statistically, he’s an absolute unicorn - when you consider that this is his first year in professional football and under competent coaching then you have to wonder what is the limit for him. The more I look into that guy, read about that guy - he’s the one I’d be banging the table for us to sign. There is quite literally nothing not to like. He would be a gamble, of course, but he wouldn’t cost £1.5m + like Brannagan. Andrew3000 and Jubbs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I’d be amazed if we were to spend >£1m on any player in this window. Despite being told we have a good budget and player sales aside, we are still operating under a business plan and being ran as a very tight ship by all accounts. Ipswich spent £1m on Nathan Broadhead in January and that was seen as somewhat an anomaly. It’s very rare that kind of cash is seen being spent in League 1. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age, higher level experience and generally having been regarded a hot prospect. Brannagan made a couple of appearances as a kid for Liverpool but hasn’t been above League 1 since. Knight is 5 years younger and has over 100 appearances at a higher level. Ram-a-lama fa fa fa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If we’re spending any money from Knight and Bieliks sales I really hope they are for players that have resale value. So younger players like Nombe and Bonnis Caerphilly Ram and CBRammette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Just now, S8TY said: With the team being away in Spain will this mean no signings until PW is back ? I was wondering that last night. Warne did say in one of the earlier interviews this summer that a player is identified by him and the recruitment team then it’s Pearce (maybe supported by the recruitment bloke) who sorts the financial side. So it’s perhaps still feasible that Kane Wilson (as an example) could sign and fly out to join the pre season camp. Deal done in Derby, fly him out to Spain, press bit done on arrival and announcement made in due course. Maybe the medical would be a stumbling block? However there must be some medical staff left in at moor farm for Washington and Barkhuizen to be recovering, right? S8TY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
