Not played since Sept 2019. Serious knee injury. 33 years old.
Why do you say "very impressive"?
FFS he’s a full ROI international was captain of a Championship club that lost the play off final to the Premier league, that’s the sort of player you need, bags of experience and a leader.

We will need to find some new owners/investors in order to be able to make signings of that quality.

Are we going to get this every time a team in leagues 1 or 2 make a signing?

No I was just tempering the enthusiasm of anyone expecting us to compete for the finished article/quality signings which in fairness KC has stated today... We will be shopping in Aldi despite the cup run and bonus money made last year....

Fair enough. If I wasn't sure if I'd be getting paid for the next few months then I might be shopping in Aldi too. At least that way I'd know I'd have enough money left to put food on the table until I started to get paid again. To quote Curle, good housekeeping....

Having read RK’s situation and ignoring the disciplinary detail ; I agree that RK is the type of player we need. He has not played since his serious knee injury. So is he a good signing, perhaps. If you take into account the MaCormack situation where with less serious injuries he still missed upto 50% of the season. So I would give RK a miss as probably KC did!

After listening to KC’s interview this morning it sounds like we’re playing Moneyball which makes him our Billy Beane!

Seeing that Aldi has been mentioned two observations:
Their steaks are excellent - all varieties! My late father always used to hammer away at : ‘a fool and their money are soon parted from ‘

He’ll look more like a turnip if we go straight back down

Wage caps now in place so should hopefully be somewhat of a leveler. Not sure what happens if a big team with huge earners drops down thee leagues (think Sunderland and Jack Rodwell who would have taken up 50% of the allowance himself)... will it mean there will be new contract stipulations higher up the pyramid in case of relegation or is there provision for that?

So, I wonder how much of MK's budget has gone on Keogh. A gamble if he still has injury problems.

£2.5m is quite a lot - that's the equivalent of a squad of 20 senior players (i.e. over 21 years old) earning an average of £2.4k a week (based on a 52 week year), which I wouldn't imagine too many of last year's team were on.
edit: although I think the 1.5m league 2 wage cap would have been a little more stretched last year!

£1300 a week because all transfers done before the announcement can be put through as £1300 when in reality they may be on much more hence clubs trying to get deals done early to get around it not that it applies to us.

The last big name wage player we brought in was who? Kevin Van Veen maybe? The half season he came in for he had the worst season output for goals or assists of any striker we have had in the last 5 years. Marvin Sordell, a recognisable name from his time in the championship is second worst. Morton, Marquis and Collins are in the top 5 and yet were all loan signings, were they Aldi signings? Can we please stop with all the unnecessary negativity, we just got promoted and the transfer window still has 2 months to go!

Useful bit of info that Shoey. I did wonder how clubs like Wigan, Sunderland and Ipswich would cope. A bit of an unfair advantage but I guess it's a reasonable compromise for the short term issues that arise.

Also any contracts signed will be allowed to run their course in the event of relegation but once run out you would be subject to the relevant divisions salary cap.
