Ok, so i expect a lot of downvotes 13:04 - Jul 19 with 6619 views | FrimleyBlue | But, I have to be honest, none of our business or current links fill me with confidence at the moment We lose Wags, the best we can hope to see is another from league 1, we need cbs, coming from league 1 wingers, league 1 Are we going to get anyone who has experience in the championship? I wouldn't expect anywhere near a top 10 finish, but at the moment, i'm genuinely concerned without some quality added to an already quality lacking side, will we actually have enough to compete at this level. | |

Funny you name those, but then ignore Berra, Chambers, Tabb as alternative experienced players we got in, once still here, the others provided great experience and at different points in their time with us, solid performances. I haven't said we shouldn't be going lower league, of course we should, but i'd like to see a berra type signing | |

Exactly. Plenty of people moaned about the Garner signing. In fairness, Phil reported at the time it was £1m. Plenty of people were not thrilled by the signing. I think if it was reported as a quarter of that people would have largely been positive. | |

Berra, Tabb and Chambers all had a few more miles left on the clock than most of who I mentioned, even so, the sum of their parts is most certainly the minority, so my omission was anything but selective reasoning | |

It wasn't a quarter of that, was around £800,000. Not sure I said £1 million without qualifying it to some degree; 'reported', 'believed to be', something along those lines. Waghorn was £200,000, according to Mick, the pair cost a million-ish combined, I think. | | | |

Age is the obvious contrast to youth, which was where the original reply came from on my end, keep up | |

I'm not suggesting you said it was set in stone, but it was a believed to be type statement and £1m was definitely the figure in the news story wasn't it? I swear £250k was the figure banded about all last season. Thought it was confirmed as much lower than £800k. Obviously confusing the Waghorn fee. | |

There was a lot of flouncing about Garner. Not so much Waghorn. | |

I had in my head they were both £250k or thereabouts and we'd paid £500k for both. Not doubting Phil though. Clearly that wasn't the case. | |

Strange as I was very happy with the Garner signing and a bit meh about Waghorn, I love them both now! | |

Just had a look back and the £1m came from the Daily Mail on Waghorn when the news first broke: Looking back at Garner, it was initially reported as £500,000 then £1 million - and I actually didn't qualify it at the time the deal was done, although I ought to have done - but Mick said subsequently the pair of them cost around a million. | | | |

Have a day off from being a melt. You've suggested there nobody was upset about a signing that multiple other people on this thread have also suggested there was and that they recall it. | |

So what you want is players in their prime who are championship regulars Will Hughes? Patrick Bamford? Kemar Roofe? This type of list? | |

Lucky Frimley thinks we have £40m to spend. I do hope he never runs a football club ..... | |

No, Berra was only 27 and a freebie, when we got him | |

I don't really see why people are taking such issue with the point that getting in some Championship experience is important - Gerken, Chambers, Berra, McGoldrick, Murphy, Skuse, Tabb, Anderson were all very experienced Championship players and good signings - and bar Chambers were all signed in Mick's first off season | |

Maybe chicoazul will apologise after claiming nobody was upset with the Waghorn signing when within 3 comments of that link we have 'underwhelming' and 'terrible player'.

Because Wolves released him as they had got relegated. What free agents are there about at the moment that you would like us to sign? Genuine question as I have no idea who's currently unattached | |
