    What's their obsession with loaning our players out? Is she incapable of selling players too?

    Shame we can't send Meire out on loan - i am sure the Soyuz Space Station has space on its roster at the moment

    If sending Solly out on loan for a season meant we could bring him back when we got promoted again, then I'd personally consider that, although I'd obviously prefer to keep him, but maybe Solly doesn't want to play in League 1 again too.

    Of course, we won't be getting promoted next season so it is something of a moot anyway.
    Or just stop signing absolute dross and get rid of some of that crap and keep him.

    Is Colin1961 like this in real life or is it an account of an old-fashioned troll?

    Apparently a bit of both. He posts on in to the valley as bexleyboy, and has repeatedly said he likes winding people up on here. It's evident as he posts one comment and never engages in discussion. I think he thinks it's his own equivalent of dropping the mic.

    If onanism ever becomes an Olympic sport, Colin would be nailed on for a gold medal

    By only afford to keep 7 players what she means is theres 7 players they are prepared to pay the wages of. Jackson, Pope, THD etc.

    The comment from KM about the fact we are matching the budget of the year we last got promoted in L1 says it all. That was a very very low budget, it was the miracle work of those behind the scenes & CP and co. finding so many freebies.

    We will be a youth team this year - that's an ideal scenario for RD. Low wages and he thinks we can unearth gems like Lookman & Gomez often.

    Predicted a very similar outcome almost 2 years ago when he took us over, turn us inside out and dry us of anything and everything. Utterly depressing.

    By L1 standards it wouldn't be low though. I can't imagine the wages of Yann, BWP, Hamer, Wiggins, Haynes etc being insignificant

    For the life of me I do not know why he has not been banned on either site.

    A very sad, or weird individual either way.

    Naah, it's his equivalent of saying 'fuck you' and going off laughing as he knows he will get a reaction.

    I don't think we want that crashing to earth - you just know where it would land.

    Half our current wage bill, as per the discussion with her yesterday.

    Despite this, she thinks we'll be pleasantly surprised at who we manage to keep.

    Not a clue how these fit together either.

    so we offer solly an extra year only to send him out on loan .. .. utter rubbish

    In Colin's defence. This is my understanding too.

    If what the OP is reporting is true,this season is definitely going to be more Pawel Abbot than Yann Kermorgant :neutral:

    Can you all please do me a favour.

    Please end this Colin obsession. If he is a wind up then he is a fantastic one as he gets so many to bite every time.

    To many threads are being derailed by responding to his comments. JUST IGNORE

    Just ban him like you did PL54.

    Tex is too good for League One

    I think players like Bauer and Kashi will stay cos they are injury prone and still fairly Unknown.

    Would much prefer Acworth.

    Or DOBY1 (anybody?!)

    She said we'd be pleasantly surprised?
    Maybe Watt from that? Kahsi? Trying to think of players that she'd think we'd like. Jacko?

    Surely the strategy has to be to return to the Championship so first assess players we want and don't want or can't realistically keep - assess losses (speculated to be £7m) Cover that with sales (I would imagine JBG and Lookman would do it with a million or two to spare- alternative may be JBG, Cousins and Texeira). Then build around what is left! But we need a manager a.s.a.p. to plan it all!

    PL54 was offensive with a bit of casual racism thrown in. You can't ban someone for being a bit of an annoying div.

    As AFKA says just ignore him if he winds you up that much.

    If we didn't get all the responses then his few comments would just be one of many in a thread.

    Assuming we sell JBG and Lookman, do we need to get rid of any other players to comply with FFP?

    They say we can't afford Tex, does that mean we can't afford to in terms of what the league allows us to spend on wages or are they saying the owner doesn't want to stump up the cash for him in League 1 and thinks we can do just as well with a cheaper player?

    It sounds about right to me, (not sure re Solly).

    I've thought for months we'd only keep about that amount of 1st teamers.

    Off the top of my head -

    Pope, Solly, Fox, Jackson, Harriott (maybe), THD, who else ?

    7 players?

    If it was Teixeira, Bauer, Kashi, Cousins, JBG, Lookman and Vetokele then that's OK, but it's more likely:

    Fox, Johnson, Jackson, Bergdich, Ceballos, Ba and Harriott

    Looks about right to me. Not even sure we'd be able to keep Harriott.

    Perhaps we can replace the PL54 ban with Colin1961!

    You are going to have to keep a few of your better players to help you get up and then to have something to build on when you do get up. If going up is the plan of course!

    Unlikely I'm afraid. They are three of our highest earners. I've been told if we can get them off the wage bill we will.

    This summer is a complete rebuild job. I'm expecting a team built around Pope, Lennon & Jackson.
