I’d be surprised if a championship club spends £10m on Bielik after one good year in league one. Ludicrous from Arsenal
It's just a negotiation ploy. It tells me they really want £6-7M. I think they get that sum. Someone like Leeds has the cash to make that happen and it could help them get promoted. Besides, Arsenal has no choice. If they don't sell him now, he walks in the Summer. And if they don't sell him now, they will get less for him in January. I count him as gonzo. One thing is 100% certain... he is not going on loan to anyone.

What if he signs a new contact and is then sent out on loan to a Championship club? I'm not sure he is worth £5m, sure he was great for us last season in the L1, but good enough for someone to pay £5m? I'm not so sure.. If Arsenal extend his contact and he has a cracking season on loan at someone in the Championship, he may be worth £8/10m next season, I'll go as far to say he may even go back to Arsenal and play.

Annoyingly for us, £5m isn’t that much anymore - especially in the Championship
Roland is a shit owner, a shit person in fact but in fairness I doubt many new owners are going to buy a newly promoted club and start splashing 5mil+ on one player.
Roland should never have bought us, he didn’t want to put the time in nor had the acumen to place appropriate others in his place. But it’s still a very difficult market and he cannot be blamed solely for failing to be able to afford the likes of Bielik on a permanent basis.
Of course he has gone the other way and we can’t afford to sign decent League 1 players.

How many Championship clubs have spent £5m on a defensive midfielder/defender this summer? I don't know but would be surprised if it is more than one or two of the newly relegated ones

I couldn’t say off the top of my head, but a lot of clubs chuck £3m and £2m about like it’s going out of fashion. It wouldn’t be the strangest thing in the world for one of them to spend £5m on a wonder kid

Maybe, but “only” £6m this summer across 2 players, neither was £5M +.
i make it 3, Tomas Kalas to Bristol City; Ivan Sunjic to Birmingham; and Pontus Jannson to Brentford. Allare full imternationals and have played many games higher than L1
Think best realistic case scenario the two strikers will be Matty taylor and John marquis. Then midfielders would be herbie Kane, Cullen and Conor Gallagher on loan with Morgan then going out on loan then signing oztumer
Mat Taylor 7 goals in 66 games for Bristol C .. no wonder they want shot of him
Was always a Rovers player, was never going to work
I’d be very surprised if we got Kane - you’d assume he’d link up with his old gaffer at Hull
saw quite a bit of Kane last season .. I m o, nothing special .. I'd prefer giving Morgan and Lapslie a chance or six
That’s surprising - he was pretty poor in the play-offs but played quite well against us in the league. It’s hard to stand out when you’re playing against a midfield of Cullen, Aribo and Bielik
To be honest, add Williams to that and it is an obscene midfield for League One!
Top 6 Championship midfield easily
Really? That midfield scraped us out of a poor League 1. Only taking third on the last day because of results elsewhere (and obvs our own decent win)
Third place and with seven points more we’d have won the league, probably the strongest league one I’ve seen in a long time as well. Don’t really think that’s scraping through is it.
That's only because they Had Pratley, Lapsley and Morgan in support
Wilfred Bonny released and still seems available. Still only 30 but seems to have lost his mojo. Scored 2 goals in a friendly for his Country in July. Worth a pay as you play deal and see what Bows and his team can do?

Pay as you play?
Our budget would run out 37 seconds in to the game.

The only place I’ve ever heard of a ‘pay as you play deal’ is on here, is it even a real thing

He was on over £100k a week at Swansea. And I mean the second time around, when he was crap

Looks like most teams that have spent big have sold big too
Going to get battered every week, we will have to play the loans market better than last season.
Cant see there will be 3 worse teams than us this season. Oh well, 1 year in the Championship it will be then.
They get good prices for their talented players then reinvest to keep the team competitive.
The difference has been in implementation clearly they have been successful and we haven't,
