Feel so much apathy for the club at the minute, and at the same time anger! Season ticket prices are a joke, we sold 2 attacking players without replacing them, failed to get that all important striker. We’ve turned into a selling club with no ambition. Maybe I’m just ranting but if the season finished tomorrow it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Think we might see a loan striker come in to take the pressure off Coburn and Latte Lath but can see the club banking the Rogers money until the summer. Isn’t much value in this window atm

Really see this as the starting point of our new recruitment model and they should get some praise for squad building they have done. We've managed to replace pretty much every position occupied by a loan player last season, whilst bringing the age of the squad down. We've also now got a team that can grow together, who are decent sized contracts with potential for a greater re sale value. We can now look forward and build upon what we have, rather than looking to replace. Hopefully the team gels and we start winning some games, and maybe 1-3 decent loans/prem quality we could be in for a dece

Think Darlow could be a shrewd signing, plenty of experience and wouldn't cost too much. Wonder when we'll find out if Payero has left the club, remember Scott saying they had to take the option in May/June

Most likely it's known that we made a massive loss 19/20 season, and traditionally as a club we don't tend to make money so it could be a case putting 2 and 2 together. We could go close though. However we did get wages of Ayala, Shotton, Clayton and Friend amongst others which would have helped. The scary thing is say we posted a similar loss again we could potentially go over the FFP limit next season, with a loss of -£48m before you even take in account this season. Again we saw what you would consider 12 first team players leave including Assombalonga and Fletchers big wages which wi

This was from @swissramble last year, so if the maths adds up we can probs make up to similar losses as last year and stay within FFP... just

Exactly, rarely do the players we let leave end up playing above the standing of the football club, most have to leave the club to get actually make a career in the game. Interested to see how Bettinelli gets on, seemed decent a few years back, wonder if a change of club can help him rediscover the form that got him an England call up

Have we ever let a youngster go and then thought 'Wow, that was a mistake!'? James Morrison was probably the biggest, maybe Lee Cattermole for what we replaced him with? Letting Chris Smalling go back down south before he joined Man Utd for millions? But apart from that I think the club have been pretty good at letting academy go

Maybe Sanogo can be our Teemu Pukki? One can dream!

Dunno why Gibbo gets loads of hate, people saying he hasn't played for 2 years but it's not as if he's been constantly injured, or won't be the same player he was a couple of years ago, he's entering his prime as a footballer and anything near £5m would be a steal. Just my opinion but we'd have two solid CBs that would get into most teams in the league.

Manager: Aitor Karanka Assistant: Tony Mowbray GK: Darren Randolph Dimi Victor Valdes DR: Emilio Nsue Cyrus Christie DL: George Friend Fabio CB: Ben Gibson Rhys Williams Daniel Ayala Calum Chambers MC: Marten de Roon Grant Leadbitter Barry Robson Adam Clayton AMR: Stuani Traore AML: Stewart Downing Adomah AMC: Gaston Ramirez Lee Tomlin ST: Britt Assombalonga Patrick Bamford Alvaro Negredo Starting XI: Randolph - Best keeper since Schwarzer. Nsue - Fantastic in promotion season. Friend - No one has

Probably the worse 1-0 win I've ever seen

The worrying thing is, we've got no one else to come in and make a massive impact. Apart from Fry we have played everyone in the opening games. It literally is going to be Woodgates ability to get the best out of the group and hopefully that's enough until January where we might be able to get some quality in

How much then? £5m? £10m, £20m? I'm pretty sure if we had the money we wouldn't of replaced the amount of players we lost with £3.5m worth of signings, all from lower leagues.

Honestly think Gibson doesn't have the funds anymore. Nowadays top end Championship players can go for £20million, we didn't even spend that sort of money in the PL! Unfortunately the gravy train has passed us by and once you stop competing off the pitch it's very hard to compete on it. Think the club will view not getting relegated as a success this season
