I think I was making more of a point that how mad this league is that teams are spending a million pounds on a goalkeeper.

Thats what we are up against. Even more so when we were last in this league only 2 years ago 

They need to get back into the championship asap,as they're only spending that kind of money because they still get the parachute payments from being in the premier league a few years ago Brian,it won't last forever 🤔

I've been really impressed by Blackpool's business, my only doubt on them is if Brucie i still up to it.

Rumoured to be chasing Dale Taylor as well

Was the Zak Lovelace rumour mentioned on here?

 

Which Zak Lovelace rumour?

Interesting one is Lovelace who again would get moaned about by some if we signed him on loan but it seems Millwall paid a near 1m(or could reach that) fee for him in January from Rangers(had a good record for the Rangers B team i think) after originally being with Millwall who first signed him after he scored 43 goals in 15 games for his youth team

It's a relatively small number of clubs spending crazy money.  We couldn't compete financially with Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday,  Bolton or Derby before. There's not a lot of point worrying about Luton,Stockport or Cardiff as they are going to sign players well outside our budget.

Blackpool are an outside bet for automatic promotion i reckon

Back in training after his injury?

Blackpool look strong to me as well, some excellent signings. 
 

I still think we’re a few short especially in Cb and in nets

Just perusing out of boredom I noticed both Ojo and Plant were on the bench in our opening home game v Tranmere last season. 

Maybe we'll see some changes both in and out once the season has kicked in. 

Pure guess.

There are a few league one clubs chasing Brighton forward Caylan Vickers on loan but also a couple of Championship clubs weighing up a  permanent move for him

I can imagine how some would react if we signed him here with his stats,it just shows how scouts and clubs staff see players differently than just looking at a players current stats

Brighton perhaps not happy to trust us after Jenson Weir?

Probably the other way around. Certainly should be

I don't think Weir has done that well back at Wigan. Derek Adams is the only manager who has got strong performances from him.
