Depends how much is offered. £15m for Galbraith is five £3m signings. A lot of squad depth.
Both Brentford and Brighton have won promotion to the PL and maintained a place there based on a heavy player trading model, which looks like what we're trying to replicate.
I think we need to accept that players will be sold for a profit. What matters most is how we replace them. |

May well suit both clubs for monies to change hands in a different financial reporting period too. |

I'd like to know why five random Eastern European males decided to try and burn down Kier Starmer's house. |

Is there a finer example of what has gone wrong with Government over the last 30 years? That this obviously corrupt, venal shit made it back into power after his first disgrace was bad enough, but for him to be caught at it and forced to resign on three separate occasions just takes the biscuit.
Now we have allegations that he fed Jeffrey Epstein commercially sensitive information on the quiet, which should be enough to secure him some serious jail time if proven. |

Just need to give the lad time to adapt. Took Widell a little bit to get into it. Inoussa still hasn't (although he's played fewer minutes).
I've watched more videos of him and another thing that struck me was how comfortable he is with both feet. Takes penalties and free kicks with his right, but is capable of shooting from distance with his left too. Scored a couple of good long range efforts last season with his "weaker" foot.

Ward has been brought in as cover. Nothing more.
It's looking increasingly likely that Galbraith will be our RB for the rest of the season so it doesn't really matter all that much how well JW plays. |

Who is left on your "must see" list? Is there a particular artist you want to see live in a particular venue?
AC/DC was one of mine, but since the death of Malcolm Young I'm less inclined to make the effort. Muse are a band I'd like to see live at some point. Florence and the Machine are on my list, and I'm lucky enough to be ticking that one off later next month.
The holy grail though is Billy Joel, but not just anywhere. I think he needs to be seen in his natural habitat, which is somewhere in the New York area. MSG perhaps. |

Higher Education has become a scam, and Universities basically businesses, largely dependent upon foreign students paying ever higher fees.
Slash the number of Universities. Make the pretend ones become colleges and polytechnics again. Offer Government funding for courses critical to the National Interest (medical, STEM or similar), charge double for people who want to do Gender Studies. |

The fact that Watford were sitting in eighth place at KO time just underlines what I keep saying about this division. It's really not all that.
Player for player I'd put our top 15-16 players against most other squads in the division. Consistency is the key. Our home form is good, but we need to pick up more points away. We probably should have done so in most away games since Matos took over.
Keep the performances up and the results will come. We're eight points off the top six with sixteen games to play. No reason why we can't haul ourselves into the top ten and then see what happens. |

Knowing what I do about football finances (plus what I can glean from people well in the know), none of that surprises me.
Just even thinking about the tax, audit, profit, loss and FFP complications that need to be negotiated gives me a headache. |

Years of football management sims have convinced people that the buying and selling of players (and football finances in general) is a lot simpler than it actually is IMO. |
