We're not in the Premier League.

£17m for those two does seem like a lot - but think both are probably including more add-ons than those figures make out I'd imagine.
Also I have no idea how much Championship clubs usually spend on players these days!
But I'm not concerned by the profile types (players dropping out of the Prem) - we're in the Championship now and we can't build an entire team out of "up and comers".

It all feels very Sven to me. I.e agents looking for a pay day.
Coady sounds like the leader we need so could be good.
Winks signing is just completely uninspiring to me. Player that has done nothing for years. Not particularly young. No high ceiling and little resell value.

Who do we sign so we can tell Coady to **** off ?

So what happens if we get promoted next season ? We have signed two players that aren't good enough.
That would be a nice problem to have...

Unlikely to happen.

Yeah I guess, then we will be unable to sign any decent players until we have shifted all the dead wood, it's like history repeating itself.

I'd rather, for a change, the club dealt with the reality of the here and now.
And besides, what makes you think that players who are good enough for the Premier League (in the opinion of some) would join a Championship club?

Let's hope we have to pay £8.5m for him.

True, just seems a lot when Everton had the option to buy him for £4.5m.

Yeah but we need to pay the extra for someone to make up a fourball on Seagrave golf course now Maddison has gone
His handicap is great, apparently, and he can also throw a mean dart
