    So what do people think next summers transfer budget is..?

    £10M like last summer seems reasonable if still in the Championship.  Add £5M for M'bick, add £20M new investment, add £1M Lookman money, minus £1.5M on Collins.  

    Gives us £34.5M - exciting.
    It was 20 mill for this window and the summer 
    Why would we disclose what our transfer budget is?!

    Can we please put the Nyoni chat in the bin lol, it was from some unknown Twitter account called dave4737847376653828 and has not been corroborated by any reliable source.

    All the talk of not being able to spend Mbick money confirms to me that a lot of our fans have based a lot of their thinking around football on FIFA & Football Manager. Would be a shame to loose a young talent but I'd like to remind everyone we also have DK out at the same level who has a 1 in 2 strike rate for Walsall in the league, guess some just have a glass half empty approach to things :smiley:

    Didn’t @Covered_End_Lad suggest he was being worked on earlier?

    Guy is usually spot on.

    Seems too quiet for anything to happen now 
    Until Cawley tells us to go to bed, anything’s possible.
    Or until Linda Cawley sings, if she is a fat lady.

    I think Kanu is the more natural goalscorer of the two.
    But a big lump that scores seems to be the in thing at the moment.

    Mbick needs to be eight figures, but how much for TC or Kanu?
  • If we get a good fee of say £5 million plus for Mbick I’m happy for him to go. That £5 million could go a long way to help building a better Championship squad for next season. If Mbick was currently playing and scoring for our first team and contributing to our fight for survival then it would be different but he’s not and from what little I’ve seen of him I don’t think he’d be in our first team plans next season. If he stays then I trust NJ to assess him in the summer.

    Doesn’t look good on Big Sam not playing him at Everton does it.

    Never get why we always seem to leave it to the last min with the chance of it falling through

    and why we dont have backup deals ready to go it always seems its just one option and thats it
    Most likey more to do with other teams then us ..

    Have a rumour for you all. Ian Poveda on loan from Sunderland. Left footed winger 
  • Mbick needs to be eight figures, but how much for TC or Kanu?
    I love our academy but comments like this are outrageous and hilarious. 7 goals in 20 games at League Two level and suddenly he’s worth £10m+?

    No thanks. Have 2 already in TC & Fevrier.  And we dont play with wingers. Wingbacks only. Otherwise we would have played Apter more.

    I was going to say the next Cawley tweet will be crucial, but the above has ruined that.

    Would be an unusual one, not sure I see where he'd fit in. Has been loaned all over the place.

    For MM its not just his goals but his overall game. £5m bought us Tante, Burke and Apter, none of whom are contributing to our season

    Because if any rival club see's Ronnie's post, they won't have a clue what our transfer budget is....................just like Ronnie !

    We were linked with him about 4-5 yrs ago iirc, although I guess no one in our recruitment team still around from those days

    I take Cawley’s tweet to mean “I haven’t got the ‘stand down’ message yet but it could come any time” rather than confirmation that something is definitely happening.

    Might as well hold on to Mbick…can’t spend the money on transfers anyhow….

    He has never played above league 2. I'm one who thinks we should be holding onto him, but 5mil would be good business

    Perhaps the owners don't want to keep ploughing in money month after month.
