Massive talent at Brighton, played a few first team games but looks like he's going out on loan. Stoke and Blackburn supposed front runners by the looks of things though. Made first team debut for Bray Wanderers at 15 years old and their youngest ever scorer at 16. Scores goals and gets assists, quality player.

Robinson and Thommo impressive and will be rotating in that midfield 2/3 Not sure how i feel about this. Think we need a minimum of 3 through the door, this reads as definitely 2 maybe 3. Plus if one of the two ends up being a carthorse liked Rhodes then IMO we're struggling. Doesn't seem like we're going all in to get promoted this season but merely happy to consolidate a top 6 spot and see where the chips fall. Thanks for the update though Big Trav.

At the start of the summer it was all restrictions have been lifted and we'll be able to reinvest a proportion of any departures. I can't see where this money has gone.

A cynic may suggest the budget was always going to be similar just some of the ways we can spend it changed a little. Only the latter point being emphasised when selling season tickets. This summer makes the job done by Rosenoir last summer look even more remarkable Edited July 20, 2023 by sage Steve How Hard? and TomTom92 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Unless we spend money on this 1 permanent striker then Clowes ‘very good budget’ isn’t much at all? I’m more than happy with the signings and not complaining at all, was expecting 1 or 2 few hundred thousand deals, trust the process and keep the EFL happy that's the main aim Nuwtfly and GB SPORTS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that for me equates to decent (but not extravigent) wages, rather than sepnding money on transfer fees, although I do expect us to pay some loan fees this year to attract better loan players......but I know ...nothing Topram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. If we were to sign Rhodes - we've seen the style of play we might be aiming for - then we let Brown get some goals and experience in the less pressured U21s.

May Contain Nuts Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The budget is marginally bigger... relative to other teams in the league. I'm guessing Sheff Weds & Ipswich will have had bigger L1 budgets last season than Wigan & Blackpool will have this. Reading might have a decent budget, despite their apparent peril, which could be higher than Plymouth's? Whatever the case, it'll be near the top of the league and it's been declared a good enough budget for a team wanting promotion so minimum top 6 - even without that comment there's simply no reason to think that there are 6 teams with larger budgets than us - and our choice of manager should give us a leg up over the competition even if they have similar or slightly higher budgets than ours.

I took 'relaxed' to mean that for example if an incredible loan becomes available late on in the window, but he'd put us like £3,000 a week over budget, they'd be able to discuss increasing the budget to bring them in Last season the budget was agreed with the EFL so if we wanted to go mildly over for a class signing that was an absolute red line (see Reading for consequences of going over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson and Thommo impressive and will be rotating in that midfield 2/3 Had you heard anymore regarding Rhodes? I guess if he was due to sign and it hasn’t happened then either us, the player or Hudds have had a change of mind? I don’t mind if we are going to go into the season with 1 more striker to go with Washington, Collins & Brown as 4th choice, I just think that we might need a younger, more current striker to fill that last spot instead. I’d be happy with Rhodes joining, but I think we’d still be short in that area. Only one creative number 10 coming in indicates we will be playing 2 up top, so even if we brought in Rhodes +1, over the course of the season there’s still plenty of opportunities for Brown to show what he’s got.
