It was mentioned earlier that the club stuck by Cousins when he was having personal trouble. I wasn't around for that and must have missed it, could someone enlighten me please?
Foley Crofts and Buxton. Looks as if a couple of them will be incoming then. Good to see Slade given some of the JBG/Cousins/Lookman dividend to buy some credible players in their mid twenties. The players people want from us have more future ahead than past behind. Slade is presented with our squad Develops and Johnson and all, gets a few sweeteners in the three we have signed, and then presumably expected to fill the gaps with kids. I hope I am wrong but it looks like the same old same old, with a frisson of Paul Benson, Gary Doherty type players thrown in to cement our standing as a third tier club.
My predictive translated 'Cebellos' to 'Develops'.

From what I remember, he was about 16, and accused of rape; always denied it, and in the end the girl dropped the charges.
He's young, has a decent record, tons of potential, and he's british. He is nowhere near his peak age group yet either. If they sign him now you could still get 15 years out of him. For a club to have just earned £150m that offer is derisory.
Think 900,000 for Pope is very good offer , considering most fans 12 months ago would have let him go for nothing
Okay, I'll bite, though I usually avoid your sillier posts. Can you please explain why the opinión of most fans one year ago is in any way representative of what a player is worth today? We aren't selling him a year ago, we are selling the player who finished the season as first choice.
I think £900000 for Colin to fuck off to burnley would be worth it
Source?
Burnley have suffered another knock back in the transfer market after Charlton rejected their £900,000 offer for goalkeeper Nick Pope.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche wants back up for England's Tom Heaton and has identified Pope and Northern Ireland's No.1 and free agent Michael McGovern as targets.
But Charlton dismissed the Clarets' £900,000 offer for Pope and are determined to hang on to their No.1.
The Clarets' failed bid for Pope is their third rejection this week.
That has to be the greatest post ever on this forum.

So of out oldish trialists, Crofts has played 80 ganes in two seasons, Foley two dozen in two seasons and Buxton 20 games last season and we are connected with Paul Taylor who barely kicked a ball for a year. Nice to know previous mistakes have been recognised and acted on. Meanwhile we have two fit CHs one of them being RoJo.

This cannot be true, KM said we would not sign anyone who has not played at least 30 games the previous season, and I am sure she would not lie

Bit harsh on Crofts. 80 games in two seasons is pretty decent. Even Buxtons 20 isn't completely dreadful.
If the fee for Jordan Cousins reported by West London Sport is correct - £1.25 million, potentially rising to £1.4 million - it's as welcome as cold sick. Granted we are in a vulnerable position following relegation, with the consequential need to downsize and the regime's desperation to get him off the wage bill, but this level of fee really is a piss take. What message does it send to other clubs ?
Whilst there are areas of his game that need to improve, Jordan has a magnificent engine and has been an excellent young professional, as evidenced by his two Player of the Year Awards (something that no amount of reconstruction by one or two posters on here can derogate from). Good luck to him - he's been the heartbeat of the team for the last couple of years and QPR are getting themselves an absolute bargain (no doubt they were resistant to the inclusion of any sell-on fee).
Another consequence of the regime's inability to negotiate its way out of a paper bag is the knock-on effect on the overall budget, including (1) the calibre of player we can bring in, (2) the number of departures and (3) the prices realised for those players. Next out the door, no doubt, will be Ademola Lookman - probably on a cut-price, undisclosed deal. This lad could have the same impact next season that Jermaine Defoe had at Bournemouth fifteen years ago, thereby advancing both CAFC and increasing his ultimate transfer value. Unfortunately, KM will be anxious to meet her Key Performance Indicator and RD will continue to pursue a short-sighted, short-term approach, in which football ambition has little or no place.
So we've lost Jordan Cousins (1.5m), Jonjo Shelvey (2.5m), Joe Gomez (3.5m), Carl Jenkinson (1m), Diego Poyet (free) and Darren Randolph (free) and Harry Arter (free) for about the price of Tyrone Mings (8m).

I though Shelvey was less than that or is that including add ons
