As they have already started, we need a thread. Suspect most of these will be wrong/clickbait sites, but lets store them in one place.

That’s not quite right. The last page of the last set of accounts shows what we spent last summer. And so the next set of accounts will show what we spent this summer. |
Well, everything I wrote is true.
You are also correct that in the last accounts they included a “post reporting date events” section where they chose to disclose the net outflow of player trading done in the summer transfer window (only). I might be wrong, but a) I don’t think this is an obligation to share, and b) it doesn’t allude to the position for the full season.
For everyone’s benefit, last summer, our player trading (was a 4.3m outflow (i.e loss), with a further 1.7m committed. It was a 1.8m profit the prior summer for context. We finished with the same number of points and a GD one better. It will be interesting if they divulge this again in Feb for this summer. If they do, and it shows another net outflow, how does that tally with the project? Two years of losing money on player trading? Let’s see. I’m not convinced they’ll divulge. |  | | |

Are you aware of Yemal? |
I'm as excited about Esquerdinha as the next guy, but if he was fit to be within 16 nautical miles of Yemal, he wouldn't be playing for us. |  | | |

Pretty certain they have to disclose it. And it covers period from accounts date until signing. It will give us the total net cash flow from player trading. So, we’ll be able to have a pretty good idea on what was spent on each player when we compare to other sources.
I don’t think we are able to see the spend on each player in the accounts when we have the accounts to April 2026. Only the total cash flow. | | | |

I think the loan is sensible.
Relying totally on a teenage player for a whole season with no real cover is a big risk. He could be brilliant and never injured but the likelihood there will be times when he needs replacing. Vale would be a very temporary measure. Mbuenge if he is going to cover full back, is on the right side.
Think Esquerdinha is first choice right now and like that

Are you aware of Yemal? |
I think so. Lamine Yamal? One of the best players on the world who plays for Barcelona and Spain? That Lamine Yamal?
I’m aware of him but not sure I see the relevance to a 19 year old who has played two games for a currently struggling Championship side.
Remember Larkeche was going to be first choice left back this season before his injury so he’s not been demoted or had a path to the first team shut down in any way. |  | | |

The last accounts specifically reference only the summer transfer window, not January. They don’t include Edwards or Saito from last season.
I’m still not sure they have to disclose this either, but hopefully they do. Maybe it depends on the finances of the company. | | | |

Very easy to sit and say that here when we've played two games and have the whole season ahead of us. If Esquerdinha got injured and we only had Leahy to cover, that alone could relegate us. It would be carnage. |
No one has ever got relegated due to one weak left back.
I used Leahy to make a point. As I said before we have Vale and Mbengue too.
If we bring in a Norrington whatshisface and play him ahead of Esquerdinha which I suspect they will, then it pisses on everything the club has said for the last 18 months.
Loans should be emergency only in my opinion, and a injured Larkeche isn’t that. |  | | |

Its probably a very cheap option.
Rumours are Larkeche is out for the season.
I think Esquerdinha will be first choice but a back up is required for obvious reasons. Ie injuries or loss of form. | |

I don't agree. If Esquerdinha goes down and we got left with Leahy (a player they wouldn't even play in the Plymouth game), Vale (a player who by all acconts looked poor there against L1 opposition) or Mbengue (who got torched on Saturday), we'd rightfully be fuming.
Bringing in a loan for cheap to cover Esquerdinha, play midweek games and then leave when Larkeche goes back makes the most sense to me. | | | |

If Esquerdinha is first choice and RND is backup then there is no issue.
But are they really going to do that to a player with 200 EFL appearances and regular caps for Wales? I don’t think so. | | | |

Disagree with the first paragraph, I don’t think Mbengue was torched. That feels like exaggeration and certainly wasn’t our biggest problem v Watford. Vale also getting judged so soon I think is unfair. The club weee quick to stress his versatility including left back. Let’s take them at their word.
On the second paragraph, there is no evidence that this loan will be cheap unless you’ve been told otherwise by the club. | | | |

Isn’t that down to Esquerdinha himself to prove? Which will in turn up his performances and help him develop. Which might be the exact point in the signing. |  | | |

You can't go into a season with Esquerdinha being the only left back, thats throwing him under the bus, you need another one. |  | | |

How do you prove anything without (a lot of) minutes?
It’s a vicious circle granted, but I don’t think bringing in a Championship stalwart on loan is giving the lad a chance. | | | |

Ok, but as above why don’t we bring a 18 year old from somewhere that he can compete with? Why an international football that he’ll never surpass without minutes? | | | |

It is if you use him to develop the younger lad while giving the younger lad plenty of minutes. We have no reason to believe so far that this isn't the case.
One way to end a young players career is to destroy his confidence (and fitness) on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. | | | |

What is the Championship other than a series of cold nights in former industrial towns? To paraphrase Roy Keane that’s the job. | | | |

"No one has ever got relegated due to one weak left back."
Tell that to Christer Warren! Actually, that QPR squad of 2000-01 had big similarities - best players injured, lots of youth massively over-promoted, a couple of senior pros trying to carry the load in vain, others too old to contribute meaningfully, some very weak fullbacks, rookie goalkeeper trying to make his name in the shadow of a senior back-up, a potentially great young CF passing through, and on and on...
The idea that you could go through this particular 2025 Championship season, up against multi-million quid wingers and midfielders every week with two teenage left backs with collectively 180 minutes of professional football in the tank (and some right-footed CBs and midfielders as their back-up - who backs them up?) is so cavalier as to be sectionable.
They'd be hanging effigies of Nourry on X by November and he knows it. A loan to cover a season-ending cruciate is not messing with any project or timeline. It's routine. | | | |

I mentioned the Smyth thing only because he hasn't signed the deal offered to him, as per WLS last week. If he is refusing to sign then he will probably be sold, which is fair enough.
However, if we have bought Saito for £5m then that is f#ckin ridiculous. He worked hard last year, yes lots of fans loved him as he ran around with a smile on his face and bowed when he was subbed off. Brilliant, well done mate, my Nan could of done that.
3 goals and 3 assists in 39 games is not £5m. Not even £2m in my book.
Pish poor signing when we have a huge gap in CM. [Post edited 22 Aug 21:05]

So now your nan is as good as Saito. Good one.
I look forward to him making your look as foolish as you are.
Just as Eze has by joining Arsenal btw. Been studiously avoiding that one haven’t you?
At some point you’re going to have to check that totally overblown self confidence in and accept that you really have no idea what you’re talking about. |  |

Don't be a drama queen. It's a turn of phrase to say it's a mad idea. It's obviously not really saying you should be sectioned.
Larkeche out for season, JCS out...for a while.
Fox, their cover, has just left.
In comes RND on loan as replacement for Fox and covers these roles.
Not really burning the blueprints, is it? | | | |

Well, I think it is burning the blueprints to be honest.
It makes me think the Plymouth debacle was for show and the truth is they’ll go short term when the going gets rough and when minutes really matter.
We can afford to carry one or two youngsters immersion style in my opinion. Plenty have.
Lots to like about this transfer window IMO, but this is a regressive step. [Post edited 23 Aug 9:06]

The championship has lots of games. Esquerdinha and RND will both get a decent amount of game time. You can't except a player to play 46 games regardless of position, age or experience, except maybe a GK. We needed a stop gap for the season and looks like we're getting one.
On another point, RND is very decent at this level WHEN FIT, which is the main concern. But if we can get him playing some decent minutes then we've got a very handy player here for the season. | | | |

Exactly this. He seems like a competent if unexciting option, with a bit of an injury history. But we only need him for 20 or so games at most (hopefully) with Esquerdinha playing the rest. I doubt we'll play him more than that since we don't need to.
A loan is good because it means the club isn't committed long term - we have Larkeche back for next season and further development into Esquerdinha. This seems like a sensible step for me. | | | |
