We are where we are. Club is for sale if you, or anyone else, has £12Million and wants to invest in the future - a snip for a fine football club with no debts and owning its ground. Reduced to £8 million now 👍

Hmmm.. still under contract with Rotherham but told he can leave for a fee..loaned to Carlisle last season and they don't appear to want him... hopefully PH can make something of him😁 6 games in the last two years due to injuries. He certainly needs to relaunch his career to get back to 8 in 36 in his last fullish season.

Reduced to £8 million now 👍 A sustainably and carefully run, well known, debt free club in a prime midlands location, with a habit of punching above their weight, now on offer! What's not to like?

Especially as they are £3.9 million in debt according to a local paper But that’s not unusual for an EFL club, they just don’t shout about it continually. The overspends in the past now we need to move on positively. Strangely it’s us fans that keep talking about finance and reduced budget, like we’ve been conditioned to fail this season. Need much more positivity or the players will be joining in. My money's where my mouth is - £30 on a top half finish. That's fairly positive, as positive as I'm prepared to go with my £30

I wonder how many strikers we need on the books if we are only going to play one up front - is there room for Nathan Fraser now ?

There's always room for Nathan Fraser, but has he got room for us?

Transferring ownership of our great club from Roland would be easily our biggest transfer deal of the season ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

A Summary from the Moore Podcast
Hoole has gone over budget
Fraser won't be coming - he's overshot Town's level with his performance end of last season.
A deal has been reached for another Centre Back (Probably Loan) its a case of waiting for the 'Club' to release them.

Also one of the loan spaces is likely to not be taken up, I sense that's for if Savin gets injury of whom I got the impression he's very much a 'Development' Player.

This X account is fairly accurate with signings. The centre back Micky mentioned possibly? He was also on loan at Real Union with Tommi O'Reilly so would make sense in that regard. But maybe that account is just making the same links I am

But maybe that account is just making the same links I am Josh Feeney from Aston Villa for those who don't have twitter (no relation afaik to Morgan). 6'4" 19 year old centre back, england youth International (u16s - u18s). He's in America at the moment on Villa's pre season tour, which Moore mentioned, filling in for Konsa and Mings probably. That plus the Villa links via Adam Henshall (former Head of Recruitment at Town, now loan manager at Villa), with the Tommy O'Reilly signing - seems a clear fit. Particularly given the three centre backs we have so far - Pierre, Nsiala & Feeney - are experienced players. We could do with some youth there, ideally with some recovery pace too

They've signed a clear second keeper. Savin is No1. Development player Mickey said was Sraha, Sobowale etc. not even Mata, as he identified him as a first team player. Unless rules have changed there isn't a thing about loan slots in a squad, but there is in a matchday squad. Which is why it doesn't make much sense to have a loan keeper as No2. But even if they got in an emergency loan keeper, it would just mean that if they had 5 other loan players, that one would have to miss out on the squad on that day. I guess if you signed 4 loan players who you expected week in week out in the team then I'd get but otherwise saving a spot for that eventuality seems unnecessary to me

Any hope that Radek Vitek from Man U might come?
It does appear that Loans from Premiership clubs cost very little if at all - from the 'in the stiffs' podcast. though not all work like that.

I don't think there is any chance at all that they use a loan space on a goalkeeper now. They've signed two - and Savin was clearly brought here to play. It might make you nervous, but we just have to trust Hurst's judgement for now and give Savin our support.

Can you imagine how shattered Savin’s confidence would be - he’s been signed as the number 1 and will play weekly

If one of the keepers getting injured we can use an emergency loan I think, so no point wasting the spot.

I don't think there's much between the 2 keepers ATM...young needs to take all the information given to him,and work hard,his kicking and passing out,looked ok to me....Savin needs to get over the first 2/3 games,and get his confidence up....looks a bit tentative to me
