Why is everyone so convinced we are going to invest the money back in the playing squad? Over a million for cox, 250k for Greer and 250k for henshaw and all we have seen back in return is Ritchie! I think we need to get realistic I don't think I'm being unreasonable either with my pesimism of no funds being available! Also I do think 250k for a young 20 year old defender who has played around 100 league games and has got obvious potential is low! I for one am starting to see a very big dose of de javu!

We paid out an estimated £350k on Ferry and Caddis up front with add ons for international appearances. |

Not to mention I'm reasonably sure Douglas, Sheehan, Prutton, Pericard etc aren't playing for the love of it. An increased wage budget has to be paid for.

Adver suggest the fee is above £250,000 so I would imagine add on's as well, they also suggest we may be getting loan players from Reading as well from their 1st team - who have they got that may do a job for us - Fitton says they have been talking for 10 days and have a great relationship with Reading (is this like the one with Bolton / Man City / Liverpool / etc where they send us their crap mainly)
Fitton also says he will not allow another player to have a release clause the experience with Sean has taught him a lesson, we have to remember that Fitton & Co are still inexperienced in this game so mistakes may happen but it is them admitting them and how they put them right that counts.

who have they got that may do a job for us
Matt Mills is a decent CB and a Swindon lad, he would be good  (although entirely unreasonable as he's the captain and probably one of their best players) |

Obvious potential which he has failed to show consistently, the defence has been the weak point all season so I won't be losing sleep on a defender who was great one week and awful the next. Reading have taken a punt on him, personally can't see it being a gamble that will pay off as Morrison has problems with pace and positional play both that defenders either naturally have or they don't. On the radio they said the transfer fee would be used to re-invest in the team, they have so far bought Ritchie, Caddis and Ferry this season so change the fucking record they are happy to spend money. Signing new players is Wilson's job, the funds are clearly there so it's up to Danny to pull his finger out and find the right players. |

Whilst some memories seem to be being repeated, you seem to have forgotten that we spent money in the summer. Even if Dossevi didn't come with a price tag, I doubt he's on pittance. Have you seen what he drives?! |

I would be happy to have Kanu back and also Mooney who was on loan at Colchester, he looks a good striker and seems to score goals at league 1 level. |

Hmm, I suppose but he scored against us in the play offs and his name is Mooney.
I'd struggle to accept him for those (petty) reasons!

Mooney extended his loan at Colchester until the end of the season, so forget that option.

I've never seen anything exciting about Mooney though. Not sure why, but he reminds me of Chris McPhee.

Bit disappointed with the price, but more worried about a lack of replacement. The though of our CB options of either crock Frammo or liability JFL alongside Scott scares me. Neither are good enough, consistent enough or fit enough to form a solid partnership. Getting a new CB now must be the number one priority.
