What a player is worth in reality vs what a club will sell them for are two very different things though aren’t they? I agree they’re going to hold out for a lot more than £2m, doesn’t make him worth that. IMO Derby stumping up £5m based on what’s he’s actually produced so far is crazy high.
Buying on potential is fine, we’ve done it with Burrell and Dembele recently, but we aren’t in the position to blow £5m on it.
Hadn’t heard of this Thomas lad till today, so no idea if that’s a better alternative but I guess we may find out soon! |

Yeah of course. Point is more about general reactions to every bit of news at the moment than this specific player, who may or may not be any good (hopefully the former!) |

100%. Manager has 2 league games - he’s not up to it, “word of warning” threads. Player linked, immediate calls that his current team think he’s shi*, he’s another Ashby. I get people are annoyed for justified reasons but the constant melodrama is tiring |

If it’s affordable I think you do both. Cook, while a great pro and has generally been a good signing, looks done to me. Feels like the Johansen deterioration. With that in mind you have 4 out and out CBs, 2 of which are crocked (Cook/JCS) and 1 has had injury struggles (Morrison). Add to that the fact we struggle to build up without JCS in the team, a reliable, ball playing left footed CB actually seems a wise pick up if they can do it.
No idea if Davies is that but think they are right to look for it. |

Yeah that’s where I am. 2/3 injury updates a year is reluctant at best. To think it’s competitive advantage to not let Coventry know if Poku will be in squad or not is…wishful thinking. And even if it does help get a 0.1% edge, it doesn’t outweigh the damage of this comms strategy to the fanbase. I’ll die on the hill that this stuff matters, even if nothing will change under this regime |

Even if that’s true - which we can disagree on - does it not annoy you? It’s been the way at the top table for ages, but it increasingly feels like we’re consumers of a product rather than fans.
You’ll get the information you’re told and be happy with it. That’s fine if you win every week. This board needs us to stay supportive. I think the little things like this have a big cumulative effect, and by all accounts the away end at Watford shows that. |

TLDR: it’s somewhere between £5/6m (15% profit) and £12/13m (25% fee).
I know they’re trying to be more long term these days, but what spending some of that on a progressive CM would do to this team. Only problem is they the recruitment team that thought Madsen was the answer will have the cash… |

Most definitely. The fact they won’t say anything about it is infuriating. It’s more evidence of the hierarchy treating us like mugs. I don’t get a lot of the anger for game models, buying/playing young players and setting up a structure where the head coach is a coach. It’s what every successful club is doing. Player transfer value and age and more correlated than ever, Managers do not exist anymore.
But the comms, secrecy and failure to admit a mistake is driving me up the wall. Of all the furore this summer about everything, a lot of which I think is way OTT by many on here, the unwillingness to admit a mistake is the most concerning. Look at the fans forum and various interviews in which they had multiple opportunities to just say we messed this up bare with us, and instead claim everything is fine when it clearly isn’t.
The injury situation is obviously f’ed. Tell us who is injured and how bad it is. If they had treated people like adults since last summer the reaction to Cifuentes leaving would not have been as negative. As many have said elsewhere, they’re doing the hard stuff quite well and the easy stuff really really badly. I hope it doesn’t all come crashing down, but stuff like not announcing contracts or injuries matter and will be a big part of the reason (if) it does.
Vibes. Bad. |

Two games. Two.
(Edit: as the club chose not to count the cup as a real game by fielding a schoolboys side, I don’t really count it either (Not an endorsement)) [Post edited 17 Aug 15:40]

I get all the anti Nourry sentiment, but there’s a guy overseeing our recruitment for the last 6/7/8(?) years who gets absolutely no ire nor seems to have any accountability. Andy Belk. Not saying he’s entirely to blame, but I find it odd that we’ve cycled through so many managers and 2 CEOs and he is completely Scot free from all chat.
Cushy position it seems |

Remember the Swiss ramble doing some really good tweets on this years ago. We as fans don’t appreciate how much of football finance is about wages over transfer fees. The Austin Johansen resigning are a great example - relatively low fees but high wages locked in over multiple years that you are committed to in one way or another (paying over length of contract or tearing it up).
It shouldn’t have to be said but given some ITKs on here professing to know the ins and outs of everyone’s deals - I have no idea what Kone Poku et al are on, but I highly doubt it’s anywhere near what Stef and Charlie were, or even Cook for that matter. |
