Simms would have been better than Gordon yesterday in my opinion.
I appreciate they probably expect to sign a forward player but we need to sign two unless we plan on relying on the waste of space that is Rondon.
He might have been a better option but that would be short sighted. Hopefully playing in the Championship will develop him and he comes back ready to compete or we sell him a lot of money like other teams seem to do. Wouldn’t that make a nice change

I don’t dispute the overall strategy just the timing given our circumstances.
I think it was a badly judged gamble and should have been delayed at least until we had sourced a suitable forward.
 
After Godfrey is injured, we should listen to offer for the following players before 31st. Sell or loan out.

Keane, Nkounkou, Gomes, Gbamin, Davies.

Very few teams will pay money for the tat Marcel Brands bought mate.

Might get a few quid for Keano and a loan for Davies although I can't see him ever leaving.
 

Clearly under heavy financial restraints, you’ve gotta say this fella is doing a fantastic job so far. We were told we had to be patient this summer cos we had to stretch a limited budget across a few players. He’s brought in two club captains and leaders at their clubs in Tarkowski and Coady for zero outlay in terms of fee, Vinagre in on loan, McNeil for a minimal initial down payment and it’s been revealed today that Lille agree to a small initial down payment for one of Europe’s supposed biggest midfield talents with the rest spread over next few years. If he gets the striker in we need then the bloke has seriously earned his corn this summer!

Still utterly stunned at the money we have spent personally.

33m for Onana, 20m for NcNeil.

Very astute loans and frees so far.

If he gets in some attacking talent he gets my seal of approval for sure, he might get it anyway, cos ive very impressed with the players hes brought in, despite me not really being a fan of McNeil and Coady, I think both will do ok for us.

But we haven't spent that.

Spent a fraction of it in particularly small down payments.
 
…its become increasingly clear that the DoF is probably the least likely to buy footballers at our club.

Brands signed most of our players under Silva apart from Iwobi and had a hand in Doucoure and Godfrey.

Thelwell has also pretty much signed every player this summer window.
