Fair sprinkling of fairy dust needed but yes that would be great. I think Chirewa is our budget Maghoma and Young our budget Coburn. Lidl by Lidl as Oasis (or some) might say.

Millenniumram Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 14 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: We needed to use the free agent market better than we did. We only signed 2 free agents this summer - Osborn and Jackson. Just to list some of the more realistic frees for Championhip and L1 clubs this summer: Forino, Tanganga, Sam McCallum, Browne, Vaulks, Docherty, Norwood, Francois, Dobson, Kane, Płacheta, Josh Murphy, Chris Willock, Poveda, Campbell, Jamal Lowe, Vipotnik, Devante Cole Wages is probably our biggest problem. From what I’ve heard the board has imposed a hard limit of 10k a week for new signings, with most being offered less than 8k. Probably why we’ve struggled so much in the window, I suspect we have the smallest budget in the league by a fair way. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing in League One last season just like us. Coburn probably have a lot of competition, so he's more unlikely. All pie in the sky anyway, as there's been nothing to say we're interested.

Aware we want to be ran sensibly but larger revenue streams thru several avenues should mean larger wage structure derbydaz22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe It's only 13m a year if you take it on baseline figures. Remember there are significant costs and contributions that add to salary and are included. Lower salaries include goal bonuses, clean sheet bonuses, wins, etc. Plus the basics like pension, health and other benefits that add on as taxable. 13m to 17m is not a stretch when you add those things in Crewton and LazloW 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gccrowdpleaser Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I've seen several people suggesting Oxford have had an amazing window ans we should have been in for Scarlett from Spurs. Take a look at the OUFC fans feedback on him. Majority are questioning how he even is a pro. Backed by Pompey and Ipswich fans. There are a few more players freed up this week by Carabao exits. Boro and Ipswich being key to our activity. 'Rambe33 and r_wilcockson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
