    Surely we’re not paying 3.5 upfront rising to 5. 

    I think he could well be a good signing for us but that fee if true is over the top.
    Is it though? In today's market... a 23 year old who just scored 27 goals last season. How much did brentfors pay for Tony and market has gone bonkers since

    He has 1 year left on his contract and has had 1 good season in his career. 

    I’m not saying he’s not a good signing, I actually think he’s a very good player and I’m glad we’re getting him but 3.5 upfront is too much in my opinion. I’d have expected it to be more like 2 mill upfront with add ons.

    How nice is it to be having a debate about us overpaying for players after spunking 9 million 🤣

    We owe QPR after we had their pants down getting 2 million for Bonne

    Kelman delivered a standout season at League One level, both in volume (21 league goals) and efficiency (goal involvement). Even with a step up to the Championship and adjustment under Nathan Jones’s system, expecting 12–13 goals in his first season seems entirely credible. If he overperforms his underlying metrics—as many young forwards do—then even higher returns are plausible - I'm in agreement with AI and I very much doubt it's 3.5 million, maybe 3.5 with the add ons.

    It has always puzzled me why people are so concerned with the fee. It’s not my money so I couldn’t care less. 
    It's still the club's money though, and the club's losses in the accounts and fair play calculations.

    I'm not saying this will happen with our owners, but there are plenty of examples of owners spending shed loads of money on signings which haven't worked, then either getting fed up with the losses and drastically cutting back, or even worse turning off the tap completely.

    I think we're all going to have to adjust to how much good players cost now 😄

    So buzzing with the Kelman signing, I’d be gutted if we don’t get Knibbs now though lol shows how football fans are hardly ever pleased.

    Supposedly the Reading ITK is the one suggesting Knibbs is off to Wrexham.

    And how much are Wycombe trying to get for Kone, who properly tailed off at the end of the season
    12 mil was mentioned at one stage . He’s not worth a quarter of that now and I’d definitely rather have Kelman .

    Withdrawn due to transfer speculation last min , absolutely no links to us that I can find anywhere. I suspect he's off to Boro

    Would be surprised if Wycombe even got £4m offered for Kone after the second half of the season he had under Dodds. Bet they regret not taking the Luton deal that was on the table in Jan now.

    Mind you if we are throwing 5 mill on Kelman who knows the 8-10 that they think he’s worth his not to far away from that

    But what happened to #undisclosed and the need for confidentiality so negotiations can be undertaken appropriately? 😉😆

    "Liverpool confirm Joe Gomez has left their pre-season tour of Asia due to an Achilles issue"

    Can kiss goodbye to any slim hope of a sell on fee in this window then.

    On the fee, what would be realistic for someone who’s scored 20+ in the Championship? It could easily be £10m+. No player scored that many league goals at his level last season.

    We paid about £1.5m for Tanto and he only scored 8 league goals last season.

    Apter’s had one good season at L1 level and the rumoured fee is £2m or so.

    Strikers generally cost the most and these sort of fees are the reality of competing at this level.
    Also worth remembering Birmingham paid £15m with £5m in add ons for Stansfield when he had 21 league 1 goals to his name.

    Fair point that. Arguably Stansfield will have as much to prove as Kelman

    The fee they paid for Stansfield was ridiculous, but he played in the PL with Fulham, also played for England U21s and scored 12 goals in the Championship on loan for Birmingham the season before they bought him.

    It's only worth the money if we bring in players who can deliver the ball to him. From the video posted earlier a lot of his goals were like Godden's.....balls played over the top to run onto or poachers goals inside the box. A striker is only as good as the service provided to him.

    Still need another CM imo. I’d be worried if Coventry got a long term injury. 
    I’m sure someone will be along to suggest that Terry Taylor (who wasn’t good enough for us in League One), or that someone like Bell or Zach Mitchell who aren’t defensive midfielders are good enough to cover Coventry in the Championship 
    Provided Coventry does not get injured in the near future, Terry Taylor should become available to cover for him. Alternatively, Amari'i Bell or Zach Mitchell could play there.  :)
     
    The real answer is Greg Docherty. Played there today and was one of our best players.
