If Stephens goes, I just think we need more than just Hammond to keep up with the others in this league.
It is interesting to see just how many more 'high profile' signings you get in the Champ compared to league 1. There is so much more money being splashed around than the last time we were at that level.
Hammond is a safe bet but with him in and Stephens out it takes all creativity out of our midfield. Lots of side-ways passing. Maybe Dale didn't produce often enough, but moments like that bury assist were always in the locker, and it'd be a big blow to lose that.
high profile signings doesn't equal success though. High profile signings come with larger transfer fees, higher wages, more expectation and hence probable disappointment. Doubt players like Wiggins, Hollands and Kermy are well-known around the champ as being excellent players, but we think they are. I am happy with that.

But with a more secure centre, it may mean more chance of seeing Cook or similar wide
I agree with two things if Hammond replaces Stephens. One that it means we will probably a see more advanced Hollands, who performed at his best last season IMO when playing with a DM. Secondly, I think we should play a more attacking winger. Whether this is Kerkar, Cook or a new signing I am not sure. But balance wise I think it makes sense to have an attacking winger now.
Some little boy on twitter reckons he has just received some news about charlton but can't tell anyone. Why would he post that on twitter in the first place? Looking for attention... Really annoys me

Dempsey has turned Villa down and Lambert is on the BBC talking about young players from lower divisions. Looks like we are going to lose Stephens then. Shame.

Villa are now my 2nd favorite team just on that point alone
Joao Moutinho to spurs,who would incidently be their biggest expenditure since Darren Bent.
Meaning that we keep chris solly
Edit. Ignore that. missed your earlier post.
Can't wait for this window to close!! As long as solly is still here I am happy
