They always seem to sign foreign players managers there scouts always look further afield.

Said it before this could go awfully wrong with how little Championship/English football experience they’re bringing in

It depends how many top teams in the championship have a lot of foreign players in the team, perhaps they think thats the way to go and they they like the foriegn style of play, and one point there style in passing etc was like man city and top teams in europe perhaps they think they are a prem team.

I hate to say it but I think they will be thereabouts for the play offs - they’ve bought good players and have so far held on to their main striker..

Believe its £4.5m for the 29yr old they've recruited a very eclectic bunch of players...be interesting to see if manager can get it to work?

I said at the start of the summer I think they'll do well.

Like it or not, they are an established Championship club and we are a newly promoted club.

Like all these things we'll have to wait and see.
Just like us really.

Wurzels have signed Adebeyo today (gamble on fitness) on top of their other signings.

Wrexham are doing what they do.

Big gamble for these clubs on playoff place and beyond.

Posted an article on this a few weeks back.

I think our new signing is a bigger gamble on fitness to be honest

They always seem to bring in a cracking player every season. Surprised Vipotnik hasn’t gone yet for a big fee. Hull were showing interest but god knows what price they’ve slapped on him.

We all know that we will only advance when Tan is gone…

He flys in a driverless plane and runs a driverless football club!!!!

20 million is what they are asking which in this market is completely reasonable.

One good season, first season he was crap. I don’t really think 18 non penalty goals in 44 games in the Championship at 24 is necessarily a £20m player.

I think he'd flop at the next level too but £20m for the championships top scorer is easily the going rate the prices never seem to stop increasing

To be fair, he's got a similar record to Gyokeres at Coventry and he went for about £20m.

I beg to differ they aren't big enough to be in the championship yet they are because they've been very good at recruitment

Yes I agree but with all the good players they've brought in they are still in championship? Their recruitment you cant fault but what they are doing got them relegated from Premier league selling best players for huge profit instead of keeping them and building the team! I suspect pavotnik will stay but won't be surprised if a troubled Premier club pay the money to try keep them in league in January

This could be a good signing for them from what I saw in the World Cup games he played in - Time Will Tell ...
