    Latest quote from Gavin Carter regarding business in the window:

    “The amount of money spent this summer window will be the same amount as last window, as long as we can get the right amount (of players) out.”
    I may have misunderstood this but does that not mean we will be spending less because of the transfer coming in? 

    Our net spend would be lower but the money going out would be the same? 
    No it means that there are players viewed as surplus but still taking up wages/budget and squad spaces. We need to make space for new players and to balance the books somewhat.

    Dobson plays further forward for Wrexham in Docs position.

    people are also discounting respective teams playstyle etc, in the coventry/dobson debate. We attritional football last season so stats will likewise suffer regardless of who we had at CDM

    Id be ok at this point with loans for coady and dykes and aribo on a free. Guessing their salaries are too much tho.

    Dobson walks into our midfield. We surely have to be enquiring. It's unfathomable he'll go to Wednesday and we take injury risk Chalobah instead
    Very different players tbf

    Doesn't address the need for a right winger though, which is priority number 2 behind a new CM

    I thought they were meant to be upping the budget this summer, unless I am mistaken.

    Yes because you know me so well. Get over it you helmet and stop being a little beggy keyboard warrior.
    "DMAC" as you call him is an arrogant, noisy fuckwit with hardly any morals and friends like Southall. If you truly think he's a "good bloke" then you're either a shit judge of character, or just a shit

    The “budget” will take into account wages, bonuses, agent fees, signing on fees not just transfer fees. Just because our transfer fee outlay may not be as high as last year doesn’t mean our overall spend isn’t. Players like Grant will be on significant salaries.

    Grant and McNamara will be on good championship wages , Karlan might even be our highest paid player now. Think there's still some wiggle for a couple of " decent" outlays fee wise but I would think you're right that a good chunk of the budget will have gone on the wages side.

    Let’s leave this right there pls. We’re all Charlton and that’s bad enough!

    All this talk of Dobson coming back, where is his injury record. We do not want players who can play every game of the season. 🤣

    Does sound like we've been a bit hamstrung by the failure to generate any interest in Olaofe and not getting what we want for Kanu yet. I imagine we wouldn't have turned our noses up at bids for Kaminski or JRC either. It's one thing having the budget for more players but another having players on decent money not even making the squad so I imagine they'll want to clear some space first

    Ok below is from the accounts ended June 2025 but signed off and dated at the end of December last year so we have a figure of just under £9 million spent last summer

    The Sheff Weds journalist who broke the AMB story (think it’s the same one) is saying Dobson doesn’t want to drop to L1
    Sign him on a dual registration basis in that case. He can play for us in the Championship this season and in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday next season after we’re relegated.

    Yes because you know me so well. Get over it you helmet and stop being a little beggy keyboard warrior.
    "DMAC" as you call him is an arrogant, noisy fuckwit with hardly any morals and friends like Southall. If you truly think he's a "good bloke" then you're either a shit judge of character, or just a shit
    It’s an opinion. Don’t like it, fucking move past it, rather than resorting to name calling yet again. You’ve a picture of yourself up on here pal and there’s plenty of things I could call you but I won’t because I’m not a prick. Just tone it in man.
    If you aren't a tedious argumentative wanker you are a fucking good actor.

    You called him a 'helmet' and a 'little beggy keyboard warrior' in the post he was replying to?
