Interesting that we haven't brought anyone and all our signings have been unattached, can only assume the 2m from Bonne has gone towards wages?
I believe for signing Alex Gilbey we paid a fee to MK Dons ..... who said at the time they were willing to sell, because of Covid disruption they needed the money.
Didn't it come out recently that there was no fee paid for Gilbey, and we got him because they needed him off the wage bill. Pretty sure it was in the SLP that including Bonne our squad cost £275k, £200k for Bonne and the rest for Purrington
I thought Purrington cost Rotherham £200,000 from Plymouth and we paid Rotherham the same or £300,000 for him.
Why don't we loan out our entire first team and loan back in a better one from the Premier League or Championship, with the parent club footing the wage bill of their own players?

Smyth is right footed. Very direct and pacy. Also has a few tricks up his sleeve. I think “Waspish” is a good word for him and he isn’t a million miles from John Robinson in terms of annoying factor. Lots of potential in there I’d say
Young Colchester winger Kwame Poku looks worth a look. Very quick and direct but bags of skill and a very decent left foot. At 19 with almost 50 games under his belt he’s obviously got something about him and Colchester could do with the money.

Stephen Humphrys is another striker. Big strong lad and getting better. Only 23 and scores some really tasty goals with either foot. Very powerful and would probably love a bit of good service. Sadly recently joined Rochdale but worth keeping an eye on for future reference. Scored an absolute peach against us a couple of years ago

Rotherham signed Purrington on a 3 and a half year contract.
He had a year left on his Rotherham contract when he signed permanently for us. It's thought that we paid pro-rata the value of his remaining contract after amortisation: around £75k.

Didn’t it say recently somewhere that we paid £61k for Purrington.
Says they are looking to offload him as they have brought in a number of strikers as well as now also looking at Charlie Kelman from Southend. Never heard of him so looked him up. 19 next month & scored 6 in 30 for them.
Why not cut out the middleman & sign Kelman instead. Due to his age we could pay him £10k pw & blow QPR out of the water. I fact, really play the EFL at their own game & pay him £30k pw......telling him he then has to give the 3 other players we sign this week £9k pw each from his wages..😃
He'll end up with roughly £15k per week out of £30k after tax and NI. How does he then give £27k per week to other people?
Be careful taking financial advice from this man. :-)

The other 3 players register themselves as charities. Kelman "gifts" the £27k by way of salary sacrifice thus avoiding tax and NI on that and each of the players end up with more than the £9K each by virtue of the Government's tax rebate and their charitable status!
Both of you really are overcomplicating things. All TS needs to do is legally adopt our entire squad and then 'pay' them by gifting them money. Didn't think of that did you EFL 🖕.

MK fans will be livid with that
I had a look on their forum when we got him and they were relatively accepting that by moving him on it freed up cap they could maybe use across 3 players in their view.
Looking at strikers - why aren't we considering a bid for Paddy Madden at Fleetwood - top scorer at this level past 2 seasons at Fleetwood - with better service would score close to 20 at CAFC - yes hes 30 but at least hes proven at this level.

Same situation we've got with Phillips really. He probably is worth money but if getting him off the books allows a stronger overall squad then it's probably worth letting him go on the cheap.

How would you convince Fleetwood to sell him to us, and convince him to come to us probably on less money than he's on now?
Listening to the Steve Gallen interview, what he says doesn't fill me with confidence. He says they hope to bring in a couple of new signings. Lee Bowyer has stated he wants three loans and one permanent.

He had a year left on his Rotherham contract when he signed permanently for us. It's thought that we paid pro-rata the value of his remaining contract after amortisation: around £75k.
Why are we reduced to phrases like "It is thought that we paid" or " I heard we paid" ?
Why can't there be transparecy and honesty? Opps , forgot . This is football.
Because it would be stupid to do so in most cases, and it is difficult to think of the advantages.

But to add to the misinformation, soccerbase has him as 5'8". So that's 3 different heights from 3 sites.

I certainly wouldn't have expected us to bring in another keeper AND keep him here, it would have been so that he could go out on loan
It all makes sense at last.
