Their owners are bloody crackpot, hired Rooney as part of some vanity project, talked about 60,000 seater stadiums yet they get 20k in for home games and now they just signed a lad who scored 12 goals for them last year for 20 mil
6.5/10 seems harsh considering we’ve won 3/3 with Berry, Doherty, Adahme, Edwards, Mannion all starting. That’s almost half the side.
Yeah it's been a decent window, and a very decent start, but I still think we could have done more, and as the season goes on we may struggle with fatigue and squad depth. Couple of injuries, and we are a bit bare bones, particularly at the back.
Of course it's subjective, as if we win promotion, I'll say it's a 10. Just a bit of guesswork. I'd lean more towards 7 I guess, which is probably a bit more fair.

That’s one more than the 11 that Macauley Bonne scored for us in the 2019/20 season.

5 CB's, 3 LWB's (generous to Edun I know, Edwards can also play LCB) and 3 RWB's (Ramsay played RCB in preseason, Asiimwe has played on the left before) isn't particularly bare bones. Ideally we'd have 1 more natural LCB so we had 2 players for each position but bare bones is a bit of a stretch. In fact across the whole squad the only position that doesn't have 2 set players is the 6 and Doc, REG and Z Mitchell can all cover there
Ivan Toney signed for Al-Ahli. I'm sure that it wasn't for the money.
Tbf to him he’s had to work his way up the leagues after being let go by Newcastle. Getting on a bit now too.
At 28 he should be in his prime and ought to be playing for one of the top PL clubs if he really wanted to prove his worth as a player. Had he done so and scored a shed load in the PL then he might have got himself back into the England picture. AS it is, he will be "out of sight, out of mind" now as he's certainly no Ronaldo.
Birmingham have certainly made themselves the team that everyone wants to beat, seeing how they're flashing the cash like an obnoxious 'loadsamoney'. They're not making it easy on themselves. I hope that we stuff them.

All the more sweeter when Nathan Jones tricky Reds win the league.
I appreciate that means very little in the grand scheme of things but both are premier league players that are good value
I think Gilmore was massively overrated by Chelsea but is still quality where as McTominay is massively underrated

If true and this is £20m it means the record for League One is higher than for the Championship.
They'll be lucky to get 5% back.
Yet more owners who think "football is easy"
They're not making it easy on themselves.
I hope that we stuff them.
