I would expect Rowe to be on the same or more than James, ditto Knoyle with Halliday, Close certainly will earn more than Madger Gomes did and Hiwula will be on more than Jason Lokilo was.You cannot compare by numbers, the budget has been spent on more established players than those who have gone in some respects and will command good wages and good signing-on fees.Loans will be similar outlay to last season's as well when all is said and done.Liam Hoden has backed this up in reply to someone Twitter asking about budget:"Trust me, the wages the new contracted players are on outweigh those of the ones that have left."Wellens has used his budget to sign players he feels are a higher ability, and we've had to pay to get them. He's now doing the balancing act to try and ensure the right level of squad depth. It was clear that the majority of our permanent signings this summer were going to be on equal or better wages to those they were replacing and it seems that is indeed the case.

Barlow to have medical and complete his contract today then play against Sheffield United. DBR it’s not about bashing the budget as you put it. If we have paid more for the players we require to improve then we have to slightly adjust our sites. Richie as been more open with what he’s had to do to acquire the players. Last year we had to rely on second hand information this year supporters have had an insight into what the club have had to do with signing of players. When was the last time we signed 5/6 permanent players hopefully 7 in one transfer window. But that’s been forced on the club with players leaving.
Quote from: sedwardsdrfc on July 27, 2021, 09:23:59 amCould we take a risk with the keeper and use the money to get one of the outfield trialists in (Reed/Harrison)? I know it’s not ideal having no one to push Jones but for injuries we can get emergency loans. Will depend on how much Jones is trusted I guess This is professional football not football manager on the PlayStation. You don’t take stupid risks.

Fingers crossed, Reed follows on behind him!
It must be a small number. If we assume not the youngsters you're really down to Bostock, Bogle, Williams, John.

I think he sees Bostock as a big player for us, but maybe he's on a big wedge. Surely Bogle is one he's willing to let leave though.Agree with the above, Fej and John are 2 of our better players.

He commented on one of his YouTube videos when he signed saying his wage wasn’t what he was hoping for and was a drop on what he thought he would get but was just happy to be back in football.I honestly think Bostock will excel playing under Wellens and the type of football we plan on playing
First time I saw Reed play last night and although it was only one match, I don't see why people are tugging themselves into a coma over him.
